Due Diligence

We provide comprehensive background information and intelligence reporting including: personal and business reputations; financial and operating histories; verification of key non-financial representations; records of litigation and disputes; environmental liabilities and other actual or undisclosed problems

Compliance

The complexities of today’s global economy present numerous challenges for educational institutions around the world. Contemplating new third-party and joint venture relationships while trying to understand and abide by regulatory standards means the barriers to expanding your institution with confidence have never been greater. With an increased focus on compliance, resulting in highly publicized incidents of corruption and bribery, corporations face greater pressure to take a risk-based approach to third-party due diligence.

Cyber Security

From student transcripts and medical records to research findings and financial information, academic institutions shoulder a heavy burden when safeguarding confidential data. A college or university data breach means navigating a maze of regulations, while working to maintain credibility in the eyes of key constituencies. When leadership is juggling competing priorities such as controlling costs, harnessing e-learning and improving student outcomes, little time or resources are left to focus on university cyber security threats. 

Security Risk Management

Since providing protection has become a primary concern of the nation’s leading educational institutions, we help clients protect students, staff and assets by providing risk assessments that reduce exposure to vulnerabilities, threats, and gaps in existing physical security programs. Because of the consequences of inadequate security must go beyond simple detection and be designed to deter criminal activity. Elsevier Investment Limited works toward a balance of architectural, electronic, and operational measures to provide safe learning environments for students.
