Employee & Insider Investigations in Houston
Departing-employee and insider investigations for Houston businesses.
When an employee leaves under a cloud, the evidence is on the devices they used. Our examiners investigate data theft, policy violations, and insider misuse for employers in Houston and across Harris 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.
Houston 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.

Employee Investigations for Houston and Harris County.
Houston is the largest city in Texas and the seat of Harris County, home to the Texas Medical Center, the Port of Houston, and thousands of energy and healthcare employers.
Houston sits in Harris County, part of Greater Houston. As the seat of Harris County, Houston is where the county's district and county courts sit, so litigation-related examinations are handled close to home.
Our examiners work with Houston residents, attorneys, and businesses, and cover the surrounding communities including Pasadena, Pearland, Sugar Land, Missouri City. Most employee investigations work begins remotely from a forensic image, with on-site collection in Houston arranged by appointment from our San Antonio base. The Harris County courts sit in Houston, and any report or testimony is prepared with that venue in mind.
Houston employee investigations questions.
Straight answers to the questions Houston 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. Our examiners 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.
