"Praxis Detection" realizes and embraces the reality that the Internet of Everything(IoE) is here to stay and has changed investigations (Criminal and Civil). The following is from the Texas Occupations Code outlining what a private investigator can be contracted for:
In Texas, a licensed investigations company (via the employed licensed investigators) engages in the business of obtaining or furnishing, or accepts employment to obtain or furnish, information related to:
(A) crime or wrongs done or threatened against a person, state, or the United States;
(B) the identity, habits, business, occupation, knowledge, efficiency, loyalty, movement, location, affiliations, associations, transactions, acts, reputation, or character of a person;
(C) the location, disposition, or recovery of lost or stolen property; or
(D) the cause or responsibility for a fire, libel, loss, accident, damage, or injury to a person or to property.
(E) accepts employment to secure, evidence for use before a court, board, officer, or investigating committee.
(F) engages in the business of securing, or accepts employment to secure, the electronic tracking of the location of an individual or motor vehicle other than for criminal justice purposes by or on behalf of a governmental entity; or
(G) engages in the business of protecting, or accepts employment to protect, an individual from bodily harm through the use of a personal protection officer.
(H) obtaining or furnishing information through the review and analysis of, and the investigation into the content of, computer-based data not available to the public.
Security under the 'Praxis' approach is two pronged: Physical and Cyber. Both of these variables contribute to a entity's risk posture and concerns regarding protecting critical assets.
