Employee & Insider Investigations in Friendswood
Departing-employee and insider investigations for Friendswood businesses.
When an employee leaves under a cloud, the evidence is on the devices they used. We investigate data theft, policy violations, and insider misuse for employers in Friendswood and across Galveston County. We image the workstation, phone, and accounts, then reconstruct what was accessed, copied, or removed.
The work is handled discreetly and documented for HR and counsel. Whether the goal is to build a case or to clear an employee, you receive findings you can rely on, with a chain of custody that survives cross-examination.
Friendswood employers in Greater Houston bring these matters to us alongside energy, healthcare, and maritime employers across Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, Galveston, and Brazoria counties. Preservation is time-sensitive, because routine IT reprovisioning can destroy evidence within days of a departure.

Friendswood employee investigations questions.
Straight answers to the questions Friendswood clients ask first. If yours is not here, the first scoping call is free.
Can we investigate a company device without telling the employee?
For company-owned devices used under an acceptable-use policy, an employer generally has the right to examine them. We confirm the footing with your counsel before work begins.
How quickly should we act?
Immediately. The most useful evidence is often overwritten within days when a device is wiped and reissued, so preserving it early is critical.
What if the employee did nothing wrong?
Then the examination clears them, and you have a documented record either way. We report what the evidence shows, not what anyone hoped to find.
