Background

"Crime is all pervasive, reaching all levels and every corner of public and business life" Director General, NCIS 2000

In today's highly competitive markets, companies are increasingly vulnerable to attack from both without and within.

Product integrity and service security are essential to maintaining market position, consumer confidence and business efficiency.

However, recent statistics show that:

25% of UK businesses have reported identified incidents of intellectual property theft and loss of data integrity.

Over 30% of UK companies have knowingly experienced some form of product counterfeiting resulting in loss of profits and product confidence.

Few companies anticipate and prepare for potential threats when diversifying or expanding market activity.
