Why our investigators are in high demand
The main goal of our investigation is to bring the perpetrators to justice. If necessary, we will continue to be involved in the case until a sentence is carried out, by consulting lawyers and providing testimony in court.
Deep knowledge of criminal schemes
Based on our 16 year hands-on experience, we have an extensive knowledge of criminal schemes ranging from recruiting insiders and developing malicious programs to withdrawing and cashing out money. This enables us to immobilize the attackers before businesses or individuals suffer major damage.

Every investigation is different and may require a different route through the process. Group-IB’s investigations are conducted by a diverse project team consisting of e-Discovery and Forensic analysts, economic security, financial audit, corporate law specialists, financial crime experts.
Collaboration with law enforcement agencies
As technology reaches into nearly all areas of our lives, law enforcement officers are challenged to maintain the skills and tools needed to conduct thorough investigations. Our experts work closely with international police in combating various types of crimes — from computer-based crimes to murders and missing people.
Proprietary technologies for criminals detection
Group-IB’s investigation department has adopted a proactive approach and developed a set of technologies for identifying groups or individuals who are assessed as being involved in ongoing criminal activity. We accelerate investigations using in-house tools for pattern analysis, network analysis, tactical profiling.
What types of crimes we handle
