Recruitment.
The effectiveness of SIS is defined by government-level training and experience that provides our clients with continuity and specialist operational capabilities together with highly proficient operational judgement, evidential standards and risk management.
Our personnel are selected because they share a common professional foundation developed within specialist government intelligence, investigative and operational environments.
If you can demonstrate a strong former UK government intelligence or investigative background, or recent extensive experience within a dedicated surveillance team, technical surveillance unit or other covert operational environment, have been vetted to a minimum of Security Clearance in your previous role and are looking to migrate your skills to the private sector, please contact us.
Entry onto our surveillance teams requires nationally recognised government accreditation in conventional surveillance, advanced driver/motorcyclist qualification (with surveillance accreditation) and surveillance photography accreditation (including urban Observation Post), together with a comprehensive knowledge of RIPA and CPIA.
Those who possess additional covert accreditations/licences are eligible for deployment in those specific roles.
Entry onto our operational support team requires government accreditation in advanced surveillance, kidnap protocols and operating in hostile controlled environments.
Please note, these qualifications are not achievable commercially.
Managing Risk:
Intelligence, Investigations & Protective Intelligence.
Investigation companies investigate.
Intelligence companies collect intelligence.
Security companies provide protection.
SIS was established on a different principle: we integrate intelligence, evidence and risk.
Specialist Investigative Support was established from extensive experience within specialist government investigative, intelligence and protective environments, where operational activity and critical decisions were routinely subject to rigorous scrutiny, governance and review.
That experience directly shapes how SIS operates today.
The methodologies, professional standards and operational judgement developed within those environments have been adapted for commercial application, providing the foundation for how we approach investigations, intelligence and protective activity.
Our staff all share the same specialist operational background, training and professional standards.
We remain deliberately focused, maintaining highly proficient capabilities in areas where that experience provides genuine value rather than expanding simply to create scale or service volume.
This foundation provides professional continuity across instructions.
Intelligence, investigative and operational activities are undertaken to consistent and measurable standards, with highly experienced personnel remaining directly involved from initial assessment through delivery and, where required, subsequent proceedings.
We are structured to provide a specialist capability where intelligence, evidence and risk management need to remain connected, supporting accountable, informed and defensible decision-making.
We are Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) registered, members of the Association of Corporate Investigators and maintain appropriate insurance for the services we provide.
