AIC’s Investigations Consultants provide discreet, expert-led support for complex security, intelligence, and cyber cases.

AIC’s Investigations Consultant Service provides discreet, expert-led support for the most complex security, intelligence, and cyber incidents.

We operate across three core domains:
Physical Surveillance & Evidence Gathering – discreet field operations to document patterns of behaviour, protect assets, and gather admissible evidence under UK legal frameworks.
Technical Surveillance & Digital Forensics – advanced monitoring, open-source intelligence (OSINT), cyber-footprint analysis, and deep technical investigations into networks, devices, and data sources.
Integrated Investigation Strategy – combining field and digital intelligence into one coherent picture, allowing decision-makers to act quickly and confidently.
Our Investigations Consultants are drawn from Defence, law enforcement, and cyber-intelligence backgrounds. Every engagement is scoped to ensure compliance with the relevant legislation and best practice, balancing transparency with discretion and operational security.
