Your intellectual property is the backbone of your business—client lists, proprietary software, internal strategies, pricing models. Now imagine an employee walks out the door with it all.
Employee data theft is a growing risk for businesses in every industry. Whether it’s a disgruntled team member, a remote worker leaving for a competitor, or someone quietly siphoning data to a USB or cloud account, insider threats can cripple your business before you even realize what’s happened.
At Cyber Private Investigations, we specialize in computer forensics and insider threat investigations—helping Texas businesses uncover, document, and respond to data exfiltration with clarity and legal confidence.
What Is Employee Data Theft?
Employee data theft occurs when a current or former staff member illegally accesses, copies, shares, or deletes company data for personal gain or sabotage. Common targets include:
- Client and prospect databases
- Pricing strategies and marketing materials
- Financial reports or trade secrets
- Proprietary code or product development files
- Vendor contracts and proposals
- Confidential emails and internal chat logs
These breaches are often quiet, internal, and hard to detect—especially in today’s hybrid and remote workplaces.
Red Flags Your Company May Be a Victim
If you’ve noticed any of the following, you may be dealing with insider data theft:
🚩 An employee resigns unexpectedly and joins a competitor
🚩 Sensitive files are accessed outside normal business hours
🚩 USB drives or personal cloud accounts (Google Drive, Dropbox) are used suspiciously
🚩 Files are deleted, renamed, or duplicated in unusual patterns
🚩 Login attempts spike just before or after termination
🚩 Internal documents appear in public spaces or client communications
How Cyber Private Investigations Can Help
With 25+ years of cybersecurity and forensic experience, Cyber Private Investigations helps businesses uncover the truth discreetly, legally, and quickly. Here’s what we do:
🖥️ 1. Forensic Analysis of Devices
We perform deep forensic imaging of company laptops, desktops, and servers to detect:
- File transfers to USB drives, email, or external storage
- Deleted file recovery and timeline reconstruction
- Cloud sync activities (Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox)
- Metadata analysis of altered or copied documents
- Evidence of third-party software used for data extraction
📡 2. Network & Router Log Review
We assess your internal infrastructure to see:
- What files were accessed
- When and from where
- Which IP addresses connected to your systems
- Whether data was exported through remote desktop or VPN tools
Even if an employee wiped their device, logs and backups tell the story.
📱 3. Cross-Platform Evidence Correlation
Data often moves across devices. We connect evidence across:
- Phones, tablets, laptops
- Email accounts
- External storage devices
- Cloud-based platforms
- VoIP and internal communication systems (Slack, Teams, Zoom)
We build a cohesive, timestamped trail that proves data movement, user intent, and breach scope.
📄 4. Court-Ready Documentation & Expert Testimony
Our findings are compiled in reports designed for civil litigation, employment disputes, and criminal proceedings. We also provide:
- Chain of custody documentation
- Expert reports with legal context
- Expert witness testimony (certified in CA, GA, FL)
- Collaboration with legal counsel and HR teams
Whether you’re preparing for court or negotiating a settlement, we ensure your case is built on undeniable digital facts.
Why This Matters More Than Ever
Small and medium-sized businesses are increasingly vulnerable to insider threats. Whether your company manages sensitive IP, serves niche clients, or develops proprietary systems, one employee with a grudge—or ambition—can cause irreversible harm.
And unlike external hacks, insider theft is harder to detect and easier to excuse unless you have professional forensic analysis on your side.
