Course overview
Commercial organisations conducting digital investigations operate in an increasingly complex legal environment. While businesses do not work under formal investigative authorities in the same way as government agencies, there remains a critical requirement to understand where legal thresholds, privacy obligations, and potential authorisation issues may arise in order to avoid regulatory breaches, reputational damage, and adverse litigation.
The Law & Legislation in Digital Investigations Course is a practical 2-day intensive programme designed for commercial investigators, intelligence professionals, compliance teams, and managers responsible for internet- based investigations, due diligence, fraud enquiries, cyber investigations, and corporate intelligence gathering.
The course focuses on the legislation, regulation, and governance relevant to the private sector, ensuring learners understand how to conduct investigations lawfully, proportionately, and defensibly. It also addresses the importance of recognising where investigative activity approaches thresholds that, in government environments, would require formal authority—allowing organisations to identify risk early and protect themselves from legal challenge.
Delivered by Sorinteq’s legal lead, a qualified barrister, Doctor of Law, and experienced practitioner, the programme combines legal expertise with operational case studies and practical tradecraft considerations.
