Background Investigations and Due Diligence
USS will meet the demands of companies entering into formal business relationships in new areas or locations, or hiring new employees, by providing reliable, timely, and detailed background reports and profiles. USS will use a network of consultants and experts to conduct due diligence and background investigations on executives, senior management and corporations in areas including financial history, regulatory checks, and criminal and civil history. USS will work with these consultants and experts to provide valuable due diligence, not otherwise readily available and of vital interest to companies seeking to do business in new and unfamiliar areas. USS will provide essential due diligence to its clients, as failure to uncover important information prior to formal contractual arrangements could lead to serious and costly consequences. Background inquiries conducted by USS will normally include, but are not limited to, checks of criminal, civil, bankruptcy, professional and personal reputation, financial reviews and general due diligence checks, i.e., media search, liaison with regulatory authorities, etc.. USS will also examine whether an overseas firm or individual has engaged in conflicts of interest and/or untoward business ethics. All significant derogatory information will be reported immediately.
Executive Protection and Crisis Management Planning
Executive protection and crisis management planning go hand-in-hand. One compliments the other. Crisis management is simply being prepared to provide a swift, effective and efficient response to any event or action that seriously disrupts the operations of an organization. Certainly, any threat of bodily harm to an executive or to his or her family members would be the subject of this type of crisis management. Crisis management and security awareness planning is an essential component of any corporate security and executive protection program. USS will provide expert assistance in all phases of the design, monitoring and execution of existing procedures to deal with criminal or other acts capable of bringing harm to a firm’s operations or employees. USS can design, with input from each individual client, strategies to monitor and execute guidelines and procedures to deal with potential criminal harm to firm operations and employees as well as any of the following crisis situations:
