Flare · Departing employees
When a staff member leaves for a competitor or to start their own business, the risk isn't usually a hacker. It's a USB drive, a personal email account, a cloud folder or a phone full of photos of your client list.
Digital forensics can usually show what was accessed, copied, sent or deleted in the weeks before someone left. Done properly, that evidence can support a letter of demand, an injunction or a court case. Done badly, it can be challenged and lost.
Don't reuse their devices
Put the laptop and phone aside. Don't hand them to a new starter or let IT reimage them.
Don't go looking yourself
Browsing their files and email changes the evidence and can weaken your position later. Let us collect it properly first.
Keep their accounts intact
Disable access, but don't delete the mailbox or cloud account. Deleted accounts can be hard or impossible to recover.
Talk to your lawyer
If legal action is possible, involve your lawyer early. We regularly work under their instruction.
What Flare does
You'll know what happened, with evidence you can act on, whether that's a conversation, a letter of demand or court proceedings.
Having a cyber incident?
Call now. The line is answered 24/7, and early action protects evidence and money.
Often not. Many records survive for weeks or months on devices and in cloud services. The key is not to reuse or wipe the devices.
You may have the right to, but doing it yourself risks altering evidence and can raise privacy and employment law issues. Speak to your lawyer and let us collect it properly.
Our process is built for that: forensic copies, documented chain of custody and reports written to the standard courts expect.
