With over fifty years of combined investigative experience, Talon is an industry leader in the areas of undercover drug/theft investigations, industrial espionage, intellectual property theft, fraud investigations and computer forensic investigations. Due to our extensive experience, our staff of dedicated professionals is able to apply proprietary investigative methodology to address all of these forms of malfeasance across a broad range of industries and businesses.

Litigation as a result of internal investigations is a reality that all employers are faced with in today’s corporate world. Because of this very issue, Talon utilizes a proprietary investigation/interview methodology that was developed to yield a better than 94% confession rate while simultaneously mitigating civil liability. This technique has been developed to meet the needs of businesses and labor attorneys alike as well as addressing the needs of Human Resource professionals within the organization.

Proprietary data and information, “The Crown Jewels” of a company, is under attack from outside hackers, and employees. The financial repercussions for loss of valuable research and development, financial records, and other proprietary items can be devastating.

Governance such as Sarbanes-Oxley, the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act, HIPAA and SB-1386 in California are legislative laws that must be complied with.

Talon’s Information Security Strategy:

The F.B.I. estimates that American companies lose over $500 billion dollars a year to employee theft. Although the numbers are alarming, most business executives do not feel any sense of urgency, and few companies seek proactive measures to eradicate the problem. Talon believes in placing Undercover Operatives into the workforce because it is proven to be the most effective method for gaining intelligence to uncover theft, espionage and substance abuse. Important information is gathered by an investigative instrument without making judgmental or on-the-spot decisions. The Investigator has the ability to sniff out substantial leads and pursue them.

Undercover Operation Services:

Talon responds to targeted violence threats with the Secret Service methodology. A threat and the person making the threat is assessed and analyzed to determine level of dangerousness. Based on the assessment specific recommendations are made to correspond to Threat Management. A strategy is recommended to deter the person or persons from acting out. In some cases we recommend direct intervention, and armed security at a location to protect people and assets.

When Talon is notified of a threat, we not only assess the threat and manage the strategy to deter the threat, we also provide armed security on site to protect managers and employees. We offer to provide a Security & Risk Assessment to secure the facility and ensure the safety of people who work or are visiting the site. The Talon strategy is comprehensive based on detection of a threat, deterrence of the threat and providing a structured defense to protect lives.

Talon works with Dr. Manny Tau, a licensed Forensic Psychologist, to assess threats and to manage strategies to deter a violent act from occurring.
