CASE STUDY 1
Our clients, a major international petro-chemical company reported thefts of equipment within one of its major UK plants. We were commissioned to conduct an investigation into these thefts and comment on security. It quickly became clear that there were major physical and procedural vulnerability that rendered the plant vulnerable to further criminal attack. In parallel with the investigation into the thefts, we carried out a full security review of the site, which houses large quantities of volatile, flammable and toxic petro-chemicals. There were also stocks of finished products awaiting shipment attractive to criminals, and sensitive Research and Development information attractive to competitors and information brokers. Our comprehensive report identified various security vulnerabilities that were not previously evident to the company management Following our recommendations, the client was able to act and implement them quickly to secure the site and prevent further breaches of security. The successful investigation into the thefts identified the employee responsible, enabling preventative measures and further legal action to be taken.
