Every corporate investigation we conduct is aimed at protecting your business with a tailored, results‑oriented approach.

Prevention and security: a proactive approach for management
Arcadia Company acts as a strategic partner for corporate management, HR offices (Human Resources) and legal departments. Our approach to corporate investigations is not limited to post‑damage intervention, but focuses on prevention. We support companies with targeted reputational analyses to detect and neutralize contractual, financial or infidelity risks before they become irreversible issues.
Our corporate and private risk investigations enable early identification of warning signs. This type of preventive activity is often decisive in avoiding structural economic losses and severe reputational damage, allowing the company to be shielded from internal and external threats.
Our methodology: physical surveillance and digital intelligence
Arcadia Company's operational methodology combines the effectiveness of traditional field investigation with modern digital intelligence. When a company seeks a corporate investigator, it needs professionals capable of moving fluidly between physical monitoring and advanced analysis of digital data.
Our interventions integrate various technical and strategic activities:
- Tailing and stakeouts: direct field observation to visually document the subject's actions.
- Digital intelligence: use of cutting‑edge software to analyze data flows and cross‑reference public information and OSINT (Open Source Intelligence).
- Transparency and collaboration: organization of periodic briefings to update the client on investigation progress, sharing every useful element clearly.
Jurisprudential guidance: The Court of Cassation has repeatedly reaffirmed the full legitimacy of covert defensive checks commissioned by the employer to authorized investigative agencies, provided they are aimed at protecting corporate assets and verifying the existence of extralabor illegal conduct by the employee.
When a company should turn to an investigator
The situations that justify a corporate investigation are numerous and recurring: absenteeism and sick‑leave fraud, abuse of leave under Law 104, double employment, unfair competition and poaching of staff, internal theft, breach of non‑compete agreements and the need for due diligence before a partnership or acquisition. In all these cases, the collection of documentary evidence by an authorized agency enables management and HR offices to make sound, timely and defensible decisions in court.
Validity of evidence and workers' statute
Investigations of an employee must respect the limits set by the Workers' Statute and GDPR. The monitoring entrusted to the investigator is legitimate when it is aimed at ascertaining extralabor illegal conduct and does not amount to generalized, continuous surveillance of work performance. Arcadia Company's investigative reports are drafted to meet admissibility criteria in disciplinary and procedural proceedings, and our operatives are available to testify in court to confirm the authenticity of the collected evidence.

Questions Frequent.
Everything companies, HR departments and law firms need to know about corporate investigations: absenteeism, unfair competition, due diligence and evidentiary admissibility.
Can an employer commission an investigator to monitor an employee?
Yes. Jurisprudence permits the use of an authorized investigative agency to ascertain employee misconduct not attributable to mere performance failure, such as sick‑leave fraud, moonlighting, unfair competition or workplace theft. The monitoring must be targeted and respect the Workers' Statute and the GDPR.
What is investigative due diligence?
It is a thorough analysis of a partner, supplier or acquisition target: corporate structure, economic‑financial reliability, reputation and any hidden holdings or conflicts of interest. It reduces risk before signing contracts or undertaking extraordinary transactions.
Can the evidence collected be used against a disloyal employee?
Yes, if gathered by an authorized agency in compliance with legal limits. Our reports are structured to withstand challenges in disciplinary and judicial proceedings, and our investigators can testify to confirm the authenticity of the evidence.
How is the client company's confidentiality protected?
We operate with absolute confidentiality protocols and non‑disclosure agreements. Sensitive information is handled in a protected, GDPR‑compliant environment, with access limited to the assigned team only.
How long does a corporate investigation last?
Surveillance of absenteeism or moonlighting typically requires 3 to 10 operational days; a due diligence takes 5 to 15 working days, depending on the jurisdictions involved. We always agree on timelines and objectives in advance.
