Is my enquiry confidential?
Yes, we have strict confidentiality policies at SIP International Commercial Information Services LLC. From our first discussion through to the conclusion of our investigations and beyond, all information remains strictly confidential.
Will my partner discover that I’m checking on them?
SIP International Commercial Information Services LLC is highly professional and has extensive experience in maintaining discretion to ensure the subject of any investigation remains unaware.
Will the investigation be traced back to me?
No, SIP International Commercial Information Services LLC never discloses your identity to third parties. Your personal information is handled within our organisation on a “Need to Know’ basis.
Who do you work for?
As a private investigation and security services company, we provide our services to private individuals, lawyers, small and medium-sized businesses, financial institutions, corporate clients and even government departments worldwide. No matter who the client is, we ensure that everyone is treated equally and receives the best service SIP International Commercial Information Services LLC can offer.
Where do you get the information from?
The source of information varies depending on the nature of the investigation and the information sought. At SIP International Commercial Information Services LLC, we have access to hundreds of established global public and subscription databases, a team of analysts, and software tools that enable them to extract data from the surface, deep, and dark webs, as well as to infiltrate many dark web chatrooms. In addition, we have on-the-ground human resources in most jurisdictions to secure information locally and to undertake surveillance for real-time intelligence.
How much does a private investigator cost?
The price varies substantially. You can purchase a fixed-fee due diligence report with flag checks before committing to a partner or investor for $235 / £175. Other fees are quoted based on the amount of work required, whether for an investigation, surveillance or security matter. In all cases, once you provide us with an understanding of your case and the objectives sought, we provide you with a detailed proposal and quotation.
Do I have to disclose my full details and home address?
How is the information you obtain presented?
Can a private investigator retrieve text messages?
There are two answers to this question: yes, if the mobile is yours and the previous text has been deleted, or if a Court has ordered a third party’s mobile to be forensically examined. SIP International Commercial Information Services LLC can conduct mobile phone forensics using specialist tools and expertise to recover text messages, even those that have been deleted. If you are asking whether we can hack somebody’s mobile to secure their text or other messaging app, the answer is no. It is a criminal offence that no reputable investigation company would commit.
Can a private investigator hack a person’s phone or email?
Can you check my mobile and computer to see if I have been hacked?
Yes, provided we have your written authority, we can undertake digital forensics to identify any illicit software that may have been installed on your devices, together with a timeline of when and what type of software was installed.
Is SIP International Commercial Information Services LLC licensed?
