Let SPIRIT achieve the same success for you
SPIRIT conducted a full day of workplace violence prevention training for a social services facility. The staff participated in a table top exercise to test their security policies. Due diligence investigations for an investment firm uncovered previously unknown criminal records and civil matters affecting the firm's investment decisions. SPIRIT conducted workplace violence and internal controls training for a financial firm's executive staff. A public service agency engaged SPIRIT to review and revise its Security Policies and Procedures and to train its staff how to respond to workplace violence. A Kansas City businessman found that an employee misappropriated approximately $50,000 worth of merchandise. SPIRIT investigated, conducted computer forensics and coordinated with law enforcement. The merchandise was located and approximately $25,000 worth of the stolen merchandise was recovered. Prosecution is pending. A Kansas City technology firm was being victimized by a former employee who was
spreading harmful rumors amongst the company's investors. SPIRIT was
able to advise this firm as to how to handle the situation which was
resolved quietly with no adverse impact to the company. SPIRIT helped a New York technology firm reduce insurance costs. An audit uncovered that the Worker's Compensation employee classifications were incorrect. The incorrect classification led to higher insurance premiums.

| SPIRIT conducted a week long review of a school district's security program. SPIRIT identified operational vulnerabilities and provided the school district with over 50 recommendations. SPIRIT traveled to Mexico to conduct an Internal Controls review for a major US based firm. SPIRIT identified Internal Controls weaknesses that had contributed to several instances of employee fraud. SPIRIT provided more than 20 recommendations for improving Internal Controls and Information Technology security. A businessman in the Washington DC area found himself defrauded of $200,000 after investing with someone for whom he did not conduct a due diligence background investigation. Preparing for trial, he contacted SPIRIT and we were able to identify a history of civil disputes throughout the country. The client will use this information in litigation, but he acknowledged that it would have been much more helpful had he come to SPIRIT prior to investing so much money. A Kansas City businessman with national and international operations experienced a civil dispute with a vendor with whom he had previously completed business dealings. SPIRIT investigated and was able to uncover widespread fraudulent activities. This information was provided to the client's attorney to use during civil litigation and to protect any future claim against being discharged by a bankruptcy claim. As well, the matter was referred to federal law enforcement. A successful businessman in California was confronted with significant security risks to his family. SPIRIT assessed his physical security system and personal routine to determine potential vulnerabilities. Additional security systems and safeguards were recommended and implemented. SPIRIT also served as liaison to federal and local law enforcement and was able to obtain additional cooperation and assistance to further minimize the identified risks. A Kansas City dealership requested a background check on a job applicant. SPIRIT noticed some unusual patterns and conducted a particular search, although not requested, and at no additional charge. This search uncovered a past record of violent conduct. Only SPIRIT's methodology for conducting these searches could have uncovered this information. The pre-employment screening process of a Kansas City financial services firm was reviewed by SPIRIT. The firm learned that it was not getting critical records that it thought it was receiving. The owner of a New England firm contacted SPIRIT. He was concerned about some unsubstantiated information he had heard about an employee. A check of all available databases showed no criminal past; nor did widely used search engines reveal any information. By conducting a careful analysis of unrelated records, and trial and error testing of archived data, SPIRIT located old information stored in a virtually unknown archive which revealed that the employee had been convicted of fraud and embezzlement several years earlier.
