Litigation Intelligence and Investigations
SSSI’s , multi-faceted professional teams provide a wide range of investigative services for clients
engaged in white-collar criminal investigations, complex commercial litigation, regulatory
proceedings and domestic as well as international arbitration proceedings. We probe the factual
accuracy of statements and, scrutinize complex fact outlines, uncover hidden assets, locate
witnesses and evaluate their integrity. Our operators are proficient, flexible and skilled at adapting
quickly regardless of the industry or geographic location. SSSI’s other litigation consulting services
include electronic discovery, document management, forensic accounting, damages assessment,
economic consulting, expert testimony and crisis planning.
Corporate Investigations
If misconduct is alleged or suspected in an organisation, it is vital that senior management act
rapidly and determinedly. SSSI is able to mobilise highly qualified, multi-facetted teams across the
globe to discreetly and resourcefully investigate any alleged misconduct in any organizations. We
inspect and evaluate books and records, collect and scrutinise electronic evidence, work in
partnership with lawyers on investigative interviews and produce first-class, reliable reports for
dissemination to shareholders, regulators and other interested parties. Our wide-ranging
experience working with diverse organizations enables us to identify what went wrong, implement

5. tactics to contain the crisis, assist with managing the response and remediation, and finally design
and implement controls to mitigate against recurrences.
Transactional Intelligence
At SSSI, we understand that the painstaking scrutiny of information is critical to making strategic
business decisions that influence mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, public and private
placements of securities, outsourcing/off shoring and other cross-border transactions. Simply
providing raw data is insufficient and our teams of former law enforcement officials, intelligence
officers, technology experts and forensic accountants conduct global investigations, analyse
source documents and present objective assessments of transactional risks to our clients. Delving
beyond the traditional concept of due diligence, SSSI’s efforts in this space encompasses matters
of competitive and defensive intelligence, image and reputation assessment, intellectual property
and brand protection, political risk and FCPA or the equivalent assessments for emerging
markets, and hedge fund investigations.
Integrity Advisory
A company’s hard-earned reputation is one of its most valuable assets and its protection is of
supreme importance to global organizations. Internal controls play a critical role in preventing or
warning of potential threats that could tarnish a corporation’s image and impact its business
relationships or financial transactions. Our multi-facetted teams conduct independent reviews and
investigate suspected problem areas, including anti-money laundering and foreign corrupt
practices concerns, for any businesses worldwide. We help analyse and assess policies and
procedures to identify gaps or breaches in existing safeguards, and are practised at designing and
implementing mitigation measure that serve to remedy shortfalls or to monitor to ensure
compliance with imposed sanctions.
Security Management & Consultancy
SSSI’s approach is practical. We counsel organisations on developing and implementing an
overarching corporate security strategy. We particularly advise entities on risk reduction strategies
that provide protection to their most valuable assets: their people, their reputation, their
information and their physical assets.
In circumstance where the threat to business is particularly heightened, SSSI can deploy specialist
security controller to be embedded into our client’s operations. We evaluate existing security
arrangements, for development projects, our engineers work with architects to include security
measures at the design stage.
Our regional and sector experts, constantly review the risks faced by each and every one of our
clients on an individual basis taking their areas of operations and the specific threat levels into
consideration. At SSSI we understand that no two organisations are alike, and that and that many
influencing factors including the nature of their business, the profile of their employees and the
geographical spread of their assets, exclusively determine their level of exposure.
Crisis Management
Effective crisis management provides organisations with a competitive advantage. However
protecting an organisation’s reputation, environment, key business assets, employees and other
stakeholders is an ongoing process, in the face of such extreme, complex and constantly changing
world. SSSI’s crisis management consultants identify the threats and risks to faced by our client
organisations. We then support our clients through the process of developing and implementing
systems and strategies, which empower them to manage crises. SSSI design and deliver role play
simulation sessions to rigorously test client’s crisis management plans and prepare staff members
for the real occurrence. Regular reviews assist in maintaining clients’ crisis management
strategies and tactics updated at all times. In the inopportune situation of a crisis occurring, our
consultants have the specialist expertise required to effectively support our clients to respond to a
wide range of crises.
Business Continuity Services
Business Continuity Management should be included within the wider risk management structure
of any organisation. This holistic management process identifies, in advance, the potential
impacts of a wide variety of disruptions that may affect an organisations ability to function. BCM

6. allows organisations to withstand the loss of part or all of its operational capability. SSSI business
continuity consultants provide support to organisations throughout the entire business continuity
management process.
Travel Security
Employees travel to familiar and unfamiliar countries so organisations require a travel security
programme that staff can rely on. Organisations have a responsibility to ensure the security of
travelling employees, whilst employee’s have a responsibility to follow organisational guidelines. If
clients have travellers arriving in high risk destinations they need to ensure that the necessary
travel security measures are in place. Achieving this requires a layered and procedural travel
security policy which includes authorisation, pre-deployment briefs and on the ground support
SSSI supports clients in implementing new travel security programmes from scratch or reviewing
and enhancing existing programmes, SSSI can provide clients with the consultancy, support and
the tools to ensure that your people are well prepared have a reliable source of advice when
travelling and comply with your travel policy. This ensures that organisations can clearly show due
care and attention in respect of their employee’s safety whilst travelling on business.
Post Conflict Development
The need to establish and maintain stability is paramount for countries emerging from conflict.
Governments within the transitional states and international donors recognise the need for quick
and effective responses to instability. The links between security, stability and development are
increasingly apparent, and more and more organisations are finding these markets more
attractive but require advice and assistance when it come to market entry. Our team of specialist
consultants have held senior posts in government and non-governmental organisations (NGOs)
and can provide invaluable assistance to organisations entering these transitional states.
Training Services
SSSI can provide a wide range of training courses to help equip your employees with the skills,
knowledge and confidence to successfully overcome these challenges, and help your organisation
to operate effectively. Our courses cover subjects as diverse as Hostage Negotiation to Money
Laundering Regulations to Safe Travelling Procedures.
