Forensic investigation services in Kenya involve the use of scientific methods to examine evidence for legal purposes. This includes digital forensics (recovering data from phones and computers), questioned document examination (verifying signatures and documents), and financial forensics (tracing assets and investigating fraud).
The cost of a background check in Kenya varies depending on the depth of the screening. A basic check might include identity and criminal record verification, while a comprehensive check could add employment history, education verification, and credit history.

Yes, employee screening is legal in Kenya, provided it complies with the Data Protection Act (DPA), 2019. Employers must obtain consent from the candidate before conducting background checks and ensure the data collected is relevant, securely stored, and used only for its intended purpose.
To get a Police Clearance Certificate in Kenya, you need to apply through the eCitizen portal, pay the required fee (Ksh 1,050), and book an appointment to have your fingerprints taken at the DCI headquarters in Nairobi or regional offices. We can assist in verifying the authenticity of presented certificates as part of our background checks.
Digital forensics in Nairobi involves collecting, preserving, and analyzing electronic data from devices like computers, mobile phones, and servers. Our experts can recover deleted messages, trace online activities, and investigate cybercrimes, providing crucial evidence for corporate and legal cases.

In a competitive market like Kenya, TSCM helps secure boardrooms, executive offices, and private residences from hidden listening devices, cameras, and other surveillance threats, safeguarding your trade secrets.
