Related Issues: Intellectual Property Disputes, White Collar Crime, and Fraud
In a contemporary environment with highly developed global communication and information technology systems, the key question is no longer how data, ideas and news are delivered to customers, but how fast it is delivered.
Using periodic or random polygraph tests on individuals responsible for the security of a company's critical information can strengthen the protection of intangible assets such as patents, copyrights and trade secrets.
The commitment to protect privileged or classified knowledge is paramount, making the difference between profitability and stagnation. Companies all over the world spend millions on improving the security of trade secrets by building sophisticated security measures such are secure facilities, Internet protection, implementing the latest electronic surveillance/detection gadgetry and employing reliable security professionals.
Yet the most valuable trade secrets are usually compromised due to insider thefts. As a result of growing competition between companies due to the lack of new markets, many companies are tempted to acquire profitable intellectual property by using industrial espionage, as an effective and profitable tool to gain quick profit while substantially reducing the cost of their own research and development programs. In such an environment, the corporate community is aware of the problems of intellectual property theft.
Chief Executive Officers are facing shareholders pressure to protect as well as increase the profitability index of a company, while constant reductions in company expenditure are forcing many organizations to handle their research and development projects with minimum funding. Protecting a company's assets and their scientific and technological advancement from overaggressive industrial competitiveness is becoming an increasingly challenging task for any profitable company in the era of Globalisation.
The ability of a company's management to further penetrate into lucrative markets diminishes if they are incapable of protecting their new ideas and products against the long lasting damages of industrial espionage.
Polygraph testing can prove or disprove involvement in activities such as selling company secrets, obtaining profits by selling intellectual property such as projects, designs, ideas and software.
Periodic polygraph testing or case-to-case examinations of potentially risky elements within a company departments (production, design, distribution, sales, logistics or management of projects) can prevent economic losses within the company caused by mismanagement and neglect of internal security or operational procedures.
Security and private investigation professionals can add additional services portfolio, offering security threat assessments and internal investigations, suggesting potential clients to utilise scientific tool through Polygraph examinations, which can be a part of their investigative/security services.
