Often organizations turn to their compliance staff if in existence, for simple investigations on allegations of employee misconduct, and turn to outside consultants for more complex matters. The extensive scope of internal codes of conduct and regulatory obligations means that investigations today occur more frequently, cover a broader scope of circumstances, and likely detect more misconduct than in the past. Combine this with enhanced opportunities for criminal behavior due to increasingly complex business structures, de-centralized operations, and technology advancement, and it becomes conspicuous that employee data theft and insider threat situations are continuing to escalate at a rapid rate.
