Internal investigations: The basics | CSO Online
Internal investigations are a vital part of a security program. It’s a serious matter when an employee is alleged to be violating company rules. So-called ‘insider threats’ can cause as much damage as thieves outside. These threats come in many different forms, including:
Accounting fraud
Outright theft of physical assets
Unauthorized access, to manipulate data or to sell it
Threats, sexual harrassment or other inappropriate forms of behavior or communication
Internal investigations aim to uncover the truth about alleged misconduct within the organization.

There’s no standard, cut-and-dried internal investigation. Each is different. Some are run-of-the-mill, some are high profile. Some are triggered by an internal reporting or monitoring system, tip line or even social media. Others by whistleblowers. Sometimes, a previously improperly conducted investigation is the impetus for a whistleblower’s complaint and a new investigation.
