Fraud investigations are often complex and time consuming. Investigators create a lot of documentation on assignments in regards to tasks and time usage. ACATO is now rolling out to a selected group of experts their new tool named Checkclock. This investigation module is part of the triple C-suite.
Fraud investigations require a wide set of skills and tools in order to cope with the challenges presented by all sorts of different crimes. Reading the daily news gives you a view of the tip of the iceberg.
When talking to forensic experts and fraud examiners you quickly get to understand that not every part of their daily job can make use of software. Due to recent espionage scandals, companies and authorities across Europe and other regions have changed their attitudes towards certain mobility habits.
The existing risks of cloud and internet connectivity to sensitive information, requires internal and external investigators to disregard certain applications otherwise used on smart phones. This changed strategy presents new problems when experts have to work out of office or with other teams.
The German company ACATO GmbH makes use of the expert knowledge of their German, Dutch and British forensic experts. Certified fraud examiners, former Dutch CID police officers and forensics experts have been contributing to the set of modules included in the triple C-Suite.
Investigators create a lot of documentation on assignments in regards to tasks and have to report their time consumption in relation to a variety of tasks. Clients expect from fraud examiners a greater transparency towards their work. Hence, time tracking, task documentation and invoicing becomes an interconnected issue of external auditors and examiners.
This is where the tool Checkclock (coded CC1) is currently being rolled out to a selected group of European professionals. With this software professionals can work with sensitive data on their encrypted notebooks and transfer their work results to their companies centralized triple C-Suite Server.
As journalists have been uncovering more upsetting information about all sorts of backdoors in security technology, organizations have great difficulties in identifying technology they can trust. This is second by the recent decisions of governments to promote the use of security technology developed in their own country.
Understanding the heightened desire of corporate organizations and authorities to keep sensitive information out of reach of foreign intelligence agencies, ACATO has refocused its platform strategy. It is understood, that at present any mobile device presents a potential backdoor to data leakage. Hence, team members must avoid the potential risks of cloud or VPN technology.
Inside the company network an organization stands better chances in protecting itself from outsiders. Therefore, the applications belonging to the triple C-Suite use synchronization methods which avoid outside paths.
The onsite investigation applications have a database strategy that allows the user to work with windows and mac based notebooks. Once back at base they can share their data with their case team working on other parts of the assignment.
