Investigations & Monitorships

When organizations face investigations involving allegations of corporate fraud and misconduct, money laundering, bribery and corruption, trade sanction violations, and other regulatory issues, they must address such allegations or inquiries from regulators with a rapid and appropriately tailored response. FTI Consulting monitorship services supports clients — boards of directors, executive management, in-house counsel, and external legal advisors at law firms around the globe — through every step of an investigation. This includes responding to an incident, uncovering critical facts, communicating with regulators, engaging in remediation efforts, and, ultimately, meeting the requirements of a settlement agreement and repairing reputational damage.

Engage our global network of monitorship compliance experts to leverage analytics technology, providing investigative insights that identify root causes of misconduct and applying what is learned to strengthen ethics and compliance programs and controls. If a corporate integrity monitor ultimately is required to verify a company’s compliance with the terms of a settlement, we can serve as independent monitor, or can provide assistance to the appointed monitor, regardless of the industry in which the organization operates.

Our multidisciplinary monitorship team of consultants includes investigators, forensic accountants, e-discovery experts, data analysts, crisis communications experts and former compliance officers. We seamlessly mobilize to collect and analyze data, design and execute an approach based on the facts at hand. In addition, we conduct interviews of witnesses and investigative subjects, while ensuring key stakeholders are properly informed throughout the investigation.

Information Governance, Privacy & Security

Enterprise data, whether stored on servers, in the cloud or on employee devices, presents new challenges and opportunities for organizations. As data volumes increase, these challenges can range from storing data in compliance with data privacy regulations to implementing information governance and preservation policies to meet specific legal obligations.

Organizations require the right people, processes and technologies to deliver concrete improvements with demonstrable value.

We assist in developing, documenting and implementing information governance programs that reduce corporate risk, ensure data privacy, enable faster and deeper insight into data, and improve the e-discovery process.

In addition, our privacy consulting team can design, build and run a client’s data privacy risk management capabilities. We deliver custom solutions no matter the company’s data environment or risk profile. From small engagements around specific regulations to ongoing managed services, our information governance consulting experts help each organization better define, implement and operationalize data privacy programs.

We are highly skilled at producing defensible documentation and have the credentials and experience to testify in court about the methods used for any information governance, privacy or security project.

Cybersecurity & Privacy

The cybersecurity threat landscape continues to grow as reliance on third parties, usage of Internet of Things devices, implementation of emerging technologies and hybrid workforces have created numerous access points for threat actors to exploit.

Ensuring cybersecurity is included in an overall risk management plan is essential to mitigating threats and corresponding damages.

In response to increased threats, cybersecurity and data privacy regulators are ramping up enforcement across the globe, and data protection laws have added millions to the cost of corporate compliance. Investigating these incidents is costly, complex and can be highly disruptive to a business. Negative media coverage or stakeholder blowback can result in significant and long-term reputational damage.

An integrated, comprehensive and intelligence-led cybersecurity and data privacy program is paramount in mitigating the risk of an incident, avoiding legal and regulatory repercussions, and maintaining stakeholder trust.

Our cybersecurity consultants work closely with clients to ensure their cybersecurity and privacy approach is consistent with regulatory guidance and represents best practices. Our team is capable of delivering worldwide and consists of hundreds of dedicated cybersecurity consultants, incident response experts, privacy professionals, developers, strategic communicators and data analysts. It is led by those with decades of experience at the highest levels of law enforcement, prosecuting offices, intelligence agencies and global private sector institutions.
