Internet Investigation
Auction Site Monitoring
Through using bespoke spidering based on crawler technology, we can provide clients with a dedicated service supplying qualified leads. The targets identified will be ranked and rated allowing for the appropriate action to be taken. Clients can engage directly with the service through a dedicated interface or, if they prefer, opt for regular reports and updates.
Mail Order Sites
Targets will sometimes use the internet to market infringing products supplied directy through mail order. These sites can look extremely convincing and use techniques aimed to fool the consumer, such as linking to genuine sites and giving assurances as to authenticity. Our services will identify these sites and those responsible for operating and hosting them.
Products capable of being delivered digitally can be targeted by a range of distribution methods including direct download and file sharing technology. Our services can identify such infringements and capture the evidence through test purchasing in accordance with relevant rules of evidence and ACPO guidelines.
Brand Awareness
Deep dive analysis and infiltration of blogs, chat rooms and forums can identify new threats and exploits, providing clients with business intelligence and an early alert. This allows for prevention, disruption and tactical deployment to protect the clients brand reputation and IP.
