Corporate Security Investigations in LA and Beyond
In the fast-paced, high-stakes world of Los Angeles business, safeguarding your organization is no longer optional – it’s essential. From sprawling tech campuses in Santa Monica to boutique firms in Century City, LA-area companies are navigating an increasingly complex web of internal and external threats. Corporate leaders are expected to manage everything from employee misconduct and cyber vulnerabilities to theft, fraud, and the growing threat of workplace violence. Compounding these concerns are California’s strict employment laws, high-profile media scrutiny, and a rise in mental health-related safety incidents that demand proactive, not reactive, solutions.
Most companies, regardless of size, simply aren’t equipped to address these issues on their own. Human Resources departments are often overwhelmed, IT teams are focused on daily operations, and internal security measures may only scratch the surface. This leaves many organizations dangerously vulnerable to both liability and reputational damage.

Based in Marina del Rey and serving the entire Los Angeles area and Orange County, Kinsey Investigations is a licensed and insured private detective agency with years of experience in corporate security investigations.

What sets Kinsey Investigations apart is its holistic approach. Our corporate security services go far beyond background checks or security audits.

Now more than ever, Los Angeles companies need experienced, discreet, and highly responsive partners to help manage growing security concerns. Kinsey Investigations is that partner. Here’s what corporate security investigations involve, why they’re crucial, and how Kinsey delivers results.
Why Corporate Security Investigations Matter in Los Angeles
Los Angeles is a dynamic business environment with a diverse workforce and a high concentration of media, tech, retail, education, and healthcare enterprises. Each of these industries comes with its own unique risks, but they all share one common vulnerability: people. Whether it’s an employee violating company policy, a contractor breaching confidentiality, or a customer threatening violence, internal and external threats are a constant concern.
Disgruntled employees can be one of the most dangerous security risks. From theft of physical assets to leaking sensitive information, these insider threats often go unnoticed until damage is already done. Likewise, poor hiring practices or lack of background checks can open the door to workplace violence or reputational damage.
At the same time, organizations face increasing scrutiny over how they manage these risks. Failing to address security concerns proactively can lead to legal liability, insurance issues, public backlash, or even business closure. California’s stringent regulatory environment makes it even more critical for employers to demonstrate due diligence and a proactive approach to corporate safety.
In short, prevention is not only better than a cure – it’s often the only viable option.
What Kinsey Investigations Offers
- Threat and Vulnerability Assessments
Kinsey Investigations begins each engagement by conducting a thorough assessment of potential vulnerabilities. This includes evaluating employee behavior, conducting on-site inspections, analyzing digital and physical access points, and reviewing internal policies. For instance, our team of private investigators might uncover a pattern of concerning behavior from an employee, such as violent posts on social media or persistent conflicts with coworkers – red flags that warrant intervention before they escalate. - Internal Theft and Loss Prevention
Employee theft, embezzlement, and misuse of resources can bleed companies dry if left unchecked. Kinsey Investigations’ private detectives discreetly monitor and document any suspected wrongdoing, helping management take action with confidence and legal backing. These investigations are always handled with professionalism and discretion to avoid unnecessary disruption or liability. - Workplace Violence Prevention
With the increasing frequency of workplace shootings and threats, employers have a duty to identify and manage the risk of violence. Kinsey Investigations helps businesses recognize early warning signs, from verbal threats to behavioral red flags, and offers strategies to minimize harm. This may include surveillance, interviews, safety recommendations, or working with law enforcement if needed. - Background Checks and Due Diligence
Hiring the wrong person can have devastating consequences. Kinsey Investigations offers comprehensive background checks that go beyond standard screening, verifying criminal history, financial records, prior employment, references, and more. These checks can also be extended to business partners, vendors, and board members – anyone with access to sensitive company information or decision-making authority. - Facility Security and Cyber Risk Audits
Kinsey Investigations evaluates both physical and digital security infrastructure. Their team can assess building entry protocols, surveillance coverage, data storage practices, and employee access to confidential files. They identify areas where breaches are most likely to occur and provide detailed recommendations to strengthen defenses. - Mystery Shopping and Integrity Testing
