Investigations & Digital Evidence

Internal Investigations

Internal investigation support for an authorised team. We turn allegations and scattered records into a source map, a chronology, an issue analysis and an evidence summary, without taking the decisions that belong to the organisation and its advisers.

AploIQ supports internal and corporate investigations with source mapping, communications analysis, issue development, timelines and evidence summaries. Guilt, disciplinary outcomes and legal conclusions remain with the authorised decision-makers.

  • The mandate, the authorised sources, the confidentiality route and the escalation points are agreed before evidence work begins.
  • We build the factual and evidential record. Guilt, disciplinary outcomes, privilege and legal conclusions stay with the authorised functions.

When an evidence trail is needed

  • An allegation, a whistleblowing report or suspected misconduct has to be tested against the records.
  • A suspected fraud or conflict runs through transactions, communications and system activity across several people.
  • The evidence sits in email, chat, documents, devices, business applications or access logs.
  • The investigation team needs the chronology, the open questions and the supporting evidence in one working record.

What we do

Mandate and source map

Translate the allegations into people, sources, periods and collection priorities.

Communications and records analysis

Review the communications, files and system records for events, relationships, inconsistencies and corroboration.

Timeline and issue development

Connect events to the questions and keep the open points, evidence gaps and alternative explanations in view.

Evidence summary

Prepare a concise record that links each material observation to its source and states its limits.

What you receive

  • Allegation, custodian and source map
  • Event chronology with source references
  • Issue, evidence-gap and follow-up log
  • Evidence summary for the decision-makers

How we work

  1. Frame the mandate

    Agree the questions, the authority, the need-to-know group, the sources and the reporting route.

  2. Connect the record

    Correlate communications, documents and system activity into events and issues.

  3. Separate fact from inference

    Present what was observed, the competing explanations, the missing evidence and the follow-up questions separately.

How to start

Send a brief, non-sensitive description of the allegation type, the likely sources, the decision timetable and who is authorising the work. Do not identify individuals or attach evidence.

Investigation roles

  • Does AploIQ decide the investigation outcome?

    No. We support the source mapping, the analysis and the evidence record. The organisation's authorised functions decide the findings, any employment action and the legal position.
