As rumours of “malign actors’ compromising British military payroll gather pace, one ex-army reconnaissance soldier, experienced in covert surveillance intelligence gathering, is advising UK firms to be on their guard at the risk of threats from both inside and outside their organisations.
Jack Charman’s time in the army has given him a wealth of experience and knowledge, which has equipped him to gather an outstanding team for National Private Investigators, the company he founded in March 2016.
His firm is used by private individuals seeking the truth and increasingly by large organisations requiring military-grade security and peace of mind from the threat of espionage, fraud and theft.
‘Private Investigators are often known for their work in tracking down information to confirm suspicions of infidelity or disputed fiscal matters. However, there’s no doubt that corporate espionage is on the rise,’ says Jack, whose military career also featured a spell in the elite Grenadier Guards that protect the royal household.
‘That’s why we have assembled a highly skilled team of more than 40 world-class surveillance operatives across the UK to focus on specific detection techniques such as Technical Surveillance Counter Measures (TSCMs) - think bug sweeping and covert recording.
‘What we’re seeing in the media is a lot of rumours and finger pointing but I’ve just completed a large 3 day sweep for a major firm in London which has had a data breach.
