What we do

Specialized training and support for internal investigations

Organizations are increasingly confronted with internal incidents such as fraud, theft, press leaks, harassment, and misuse of confidential information. Without a structured approach, these issues can lead to legal complications, financial damage, and reputational loss. Watson offers a cost-effective solution : we help companies train internal investigators and provide guidance during internal investigations, ensuring incidents are handled correctly, objectively, and discreetly.

How we strengthen organizations

Watson offers a two-pronged approach that helps organizations reduce costs and minimize risks:

1. Training of internal researchers

Our training courses, based on methodologies used by police and international security institutions, teach employees how to recognize, document, and investigate internal incidents using a structured and legally compliant approach. The focus is on objectivity, neutrality, and discretion, enabling companies to act more quickly and efficiently.

2. Support for ongoing investigations

Even with the right training, a complex investigation can require additional support. Our experts guide internal investigators in gathering and analyzing facts, applying investigative techniques, and drafting a clear, objective investigation report. A clear and reliable picture of the facts is essential, ensuring that organizations can make well-informed decisions, whether or not they impose sanctions, without unnecessary legal costs or reputational damage .

Who is our approach suitable for?

Business leaders and management teams who want to handle incidents correctly and cost-effectively.
HR and compliance departments that need a professional and legally compliant approach to internal investigations.
Organizations without a specialized research team , who want to invest in their own expertise to reduce external expenses.
Teams that already conduct internal research , but want to optimize their working methods and thus save costs.

The result?

✔ A professional internal research team that works in a structured and effective manner.

✔ Limit financial loss from fraud, theft, and minor crimes with fast and effective internal investigations.

✔ An organization that can minimize risks and handle incidents correctly .

✔ An honest and transparent working environment , in which research is based on facts and not on assumptions.

At Watson, we help organizations strengthen their internal processes so they can act with confidence and professionalism when needed most— while cutting costs and minimizing legal risk .

What don't we do?

We do not offer the full private investigator training program.
In the context of the entry into force of the new law of 18 May 2024 regulating private investigation , an implementing decree must first be drawn up that will legally regulate the accredited training courses for private investigation.

Until this decision is published and the legal requirements are clear, we will limit ourselves to training and supporting internal investigators within organizations . Our training and guidance are focused on the correct, discreet, and legally sound handling of internal incidents , but do not constitute a path leading to recognized private investigator status.
