Investigations Consultant

Expert-led investigations into complex security, intelligence, and cyber incidents. Discreet, precise, and legally compliant support for Defence and private sector.

AIC’s Investigations Consultants provide discreet, expert-led support for complex security, intelligence, and cyber cases. We combine technical analysis, open-source intelligence, and field expertise to deliver clear, actionable outcomes. Our approach ensures integrity, legal compliance, and trusted results for Defence, government, and corporate clients.

AIC’s Investigations Consultant Service provides discreet, expert-led support for the most complex security, intelligence, and cyber incidents. We bridge the gap between physical surveillance and technical investigation, combining world-class expertise, state-of-the-art tools, and a legally compliant methodology to deliver clear, actionable results.

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.
