Our Code of ethics
At OpSec Solutions, we provide you with complete transparency, confidence and peace of mind. That’s why we follow a strict code of ethics set by the Association of British Investigators.
The code, comprising of Ten Principles, is sponsored by the Governing Council of the Association of British Investigators (ABI). It is a reflection of the way in which we should conduct our business according to rigorous ethical, fair, professional and legal standards. It flows from our determination to be:
Fair, transparent, accountable, honest, cautious, thorough, law abiding and mindful of the confidentiality of that with which we are entrusted.
WE OPERATE BY THESE 10 PRINCIPLES
Principle 1 – Responsibility and Accountability
We are personally responsible and accountable for our actions or omissions, as are our employees and other persons paid to assist an investigation. We will always ensure that the latter adhere to this Code of Ethics and Professional Standards.
Principle 2 – Honesty and Integrity
We strive to act with honesty, integrity and not compromise our position or that of any of our clients.
Principle 3 – Caution and Thoroughness
We will always verify the credentials of clients to ensure that they have lawful and moral reasons to request an investigation.
Principle 4 – Conflict of Interest
Any time we have a personal or conflicting interest in any matter in which we are involved, we shall disclose that interest, if it is in conflict with the interests of our clients.
Principle 5 – Acting within the Law
We will always obey the law and refrain from carrying out any act that we know is unlawful, or contrary to this policy.
