Our approach to conducting integrity due diligence investigations

Understand the context in which you do business

Doing business in a new environment brings opportunities, but also risks. Our analysts have regional knowledge and map the relevant threat context of the region.

Determine the depth of the investigation

Our investigations typically examine corporate structure, reputation risks, location risks, conflicts of interest, and compliance risks. You can expand the investigation's depth and scope depending on your requirements.

Trust our thorough analysis

Through the deployment of experienced intelligence experts and unique sources, such as the dark web, we uncover hidden vulnerabilities. We have access to local sources. Not standard checkbox work, but in-depth investigations.

Insights in compliance with laws and regulations

Transparency and trust are the building blocks on which we conduct investigations. Proximities is a certified investigation agency (POB 1647) and since 2022 we are ISO-27001 certified.

Three steps to comprehensive integrity due diligence

We guide you from intake to insightful reporting. We ensure we have access to the right information so we can conduct the investigation. We discuss the results with you directly.

Provide information

Together we determine the scope of the investigation and what information is needed. You provide the basic data about the organization and/or person. We then develop a solid research plan that aligns with your objectives.

Conduct investigation

2
Our experienced investigators analyze available sources, from public sources to the dark web. We map potential risks and vulnerabilities, verify the information provided and conduct in-depth research into the integrity of the company and/or person.

Discuss report

We present our findings in a clear report. You gain insight into any risks and concrete recommendations for next steps. If anything is unclear, we are ready for additional explanation or supplementary research.

The importance of integrity

In today's way of doing business, collaborating with external partners is indispensable. Whether it involves suppliers, distributors, consultants or other specialists - partnerships are essential for growth and innovation. But while these collaborations have become commonplace, the security landscape looks very different than it did a few years ago.

This naturally brings risks. Think of financial risks from fraud or cybercrime, but also reputational damage if something goes wrong with a business partner. Add to this that compliance rules are becoming increasingly strict. And then there's growing concern about foreign governments trying to exert influence through business relationships. All these risks are interconnected.

Thoroughly vetting your business partners is therefore no longer a luxury, but pure necessity. You want to know in advance who you're getting involved with and continue monitoring those relationships. This way you not only protect sensitive business information, but also ensure that new collaborations align with what your organization stands for. Only then can you truly benefit from external partnerships, without compromising on security and integrity.
