KCS Group is one of the world’s leading strategic intelligence, risk and security management companies. KCS’ clients include government agencies and some of the largest multinational businesses worldwide. With a proven track record of success, KCS has gained a reputation for discreetly providing assistance wherever its resources are required, regardless of the issues, challenges and sensitivity of the assignment.

KCS discreetly gathers intelligence globally including in complex and dangerous markets to both ‘level the playing field’ and, where possible mitigate the risk inherent within that market.

KCS offers a highly discreet profiling of potential acquisition targets, to determine strengths, weaknesses and opportunities to aid negotiation and/or identify deal-breaking issues. This includes identification and verification of assets in relation to claimed values and losses. In addition, local political and commercial dynamics may be treated differently: what is viewed in one country as illegal or unfair activity could be seen in others as ‘normal’, not contravening local regulations.

KCS’ approach considers factors pertinent to the market in which the target Subject operates and its investigations adopt passive and non-aggressive techniques to discreetly profile both the business and its key personnel.

KCS researches and identifies potential target partners for joint ventures and assists with market entry. This avoids natural in-country pitfalls and obstacles, inherent in many of the non-domestic markets under review.

The global reach and experience which KCS has in complex and difficult markets allows it to discreetly identify hostile or aggressive behaviour associated with third world corporates. Such activity is then nullified or mitigated to level the playing field.

KCS has vast experience in providing in-depth profiling and screening of key individuals/principals in non-domestic markets where background data and research is not immediately available for validation and certification.

In the wake of the exponential increase in cyber criminal activity, both criminal and government sponsored, KCS provides a unique range of defence options for clients to help maintain IT Security and, where possible, discreetly track and identify perpetrators.

Regular security is no longer effective and it is imperative that new strategies be put in place to prevent, counter and mitigate cyber attacks which emanate from many sources, including organised criminal groups, global competitors and government sponsored organisations.

KCS carries out sensitive, passive, offensive and non-aggressive operations in relation to cyber defence as required, which complement the standard security programme of any corporation profiling attackers’ modus operandi.
