Frequently asked questions
Understand the service before you engage.
Answers about Baruch's work, engaging our team, physical and cyber fraud investigations, asset tracing, cybersecurity and the Whistleblowing Channel.
Start with the problem you need to solve. Our team can help define the right service, the information required and the deliverables.
01 · Chapter
Getting started
What to share and what to expect from the proposal.
- Do I need to know which service to choose?
- No. Tell us what happened, what decision you need to make and whether there is any urgency. Baruch reviews the request and identifies services that may help. When a case requires more than one specialism, the activities can be combined within an agreed scope.
- How do I contact Baruch?
- Use the website's contact channels: WhatsApp, email or the enquiry form. Include your name, company and a brief description of your needs. An initial summary is enough; our team will explain which documents are required and how to share them.
- How are the price and timeline defined?
- The proposal considers the objective, the volume of information, the depth of the review and the specialists required. It sets out the activities, deliverables, timeline and fee. Tell us about important dates so that availability can be assessed before the engagement begins.

Investigations and assets
How to clarify concerns, events and losses in different contexts.
- Does Baruch investigate fraud outside the digital environment?
- Yes. We investigate physical and cyber fraud, such as diverted goods, falsified documents, online scams and compromised accounts. The methods and relevant sources depend on the facts, objective, authorisations and information available.
- What do I receive from a fraud investigation?
- A report organises the facts established, the sequence of events, sources examined and relationships relevant to the case. It distinguishes evidence, unresolved questions and recommendations for decision-makers. Activities and format are defined in the proposal.
- What is the difference between due diligence and a background check?
- A background check verifies information, history and relationships concerning individuals or companies. Due diligence examines a relationship or transaction in greater depth, including ownership, reputation and risk factors. Both can be combined according to the decision the business needs to make.
- Does tracing assets guarantee that money will be recovered?
- No. Asset tracing looks for assets, transactions and relationships that may help explain where funds went. Baruch organises the findings into a dossier for legal advisers to assess. Recovery depends on what is identified, the available measures and the circumstances of the case.
- How does Baruch investigate workplace misconduct and help prevent recurrence?
- Workplace Misconduct investigates reports of harassment, discrimination, favouritism and other possible workplace irregularities. Interviews, documents and authorised records help clarify events without presuming guilt. The report distinguishes verified facts, evidence and inconclusive points to support HR, Compliance and Legal. The scope may also include policy reviews and training. Compliance and Integrity complements this work by assessing company controls.

Digital risks
A specialism for risks involving systems, data and online channels. Match the review to the problem: exposure, weaknesses or an incident.
- Do Brand Protection and Threat Intelligence do the same thing?
- Brand Protection identifies brand misuse, such as counterfeiting, listings and suspicious channels. Threat Intelligence and Digital Exposure examines threat indicators, leaks and exposed information. The deliverables organise the findings and help determine what needs attention and follow-up.
- When should we use penetration testing, Red Team or Blue Team services?
- Penetration testing identifies and validates vulnerabilities through controlled testing and exploitation, with authorisation and a defined scope. Red Team operations emulate adversary techniques under controlled conditions to assess detection and response. Blue Team and Access Management reviews threat detection, accounts and permissions. Deliverables set out findings and improvement priorities.
- How does Baruch help during a digital incident?
- Incident Response brings together known facts and supports the responsible teams in decisions about identification, containment and recovery, within the agreed scope. Digital Forensics and Analysis examines materials obtained with authorisation to reconstruct events, recording their origin, preservation procedures and the limits of the conclusions. Both services can work together according to the need.
04 · Chapter
Whistleblowing Channel
Report intake, follow-up and guidance on handling each allegation.
- Does the Whistleblowing Channel include a platform and anonymous reporting?
- Yes. The service includes a platform to receive allegations, allow anonymous reporting and follow how reports are handled. Its distinguishing feature is a structured report with the available information, questions to resolve and a roadmap: a plan of priorities and next steps for those responsible for the case.
- Can I submit an allegation through this website's form?
- The public form is for commercial enquiries and proposal requests. To submit an allegation, use the platform provided by the organisation that has engaged the Whistleblowing Channel service. Reports and follow-up are handled in that environment, with the option of remaining anonymous.
