Whether it's an abuse of privileged access to data, or fraudulent use of company funds, experience is required to effectively conduct an investigation within the bounds of privacy regulations and labor law guidelines. Working under the direction of your corporate counsel, or through a ThreatFlex trusted legal partner, a ThreatFlex investigation will uncover the insider's actions and ensure proper evidence collection and preservation to support employment or legal action. 

Trusted users are often granted excessive access rights to data, control of funds and intellectual property beyond what is needed and necessary to perform in their role. Even when the Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP) is implemented through security controls, trust can be broken and loss of data, damage to operational integrity, and fraud can occur. When that happens, or is suspected, it's important to have an impartial investigation conducted to distinguish malicious intent from unintentional misuse of resources to ensure the proper action is taken to mitigate the threat and the impact.
