Scenarios

Who I work with

One expert, many entry points. Find your role: each lists the typical problems and a concrete next step.

Business owner

The owner is usually the last to learn about a problem — and learns about it as a number. The job is to move that moment earlier.

Business security

  • Internal threats and theft
  • Fraud inside the perimeter
  • An unreliable partner
  • Information leaks
  • Shareholder conflicts
  • Transaction risk
  • Reputational threats

CEO and senior management

When a decision has to be made quickly, what matters is not the volume of information but whether it has been verified.

Risk management

  • Company and executive security
  • A crisis in progress
  • Investigating an incident
  • Protecting assets
  • Pressure on management

Investor

An independent check costs incomparably less than entering a project known only through the founder's account of it.

Risk management

  • Project due diligence
  • Checking partners and founders
  • Founder risk
  • Reputational risk
  • Country and operational risk in Central Asia

HR and HRD

HR security is not distrust of people. It is a normal procedure for roles where the cost of a wrong hire is high.

People and HR security

  • Candidate screening
  • Personnel risk
  • Internal fraud
  • Leaks on exit
  • Difficult employees
  • Executive team security

Lawyers and advocates

The analytical part of the work, for which proceedings leave no resource, is a separate competency and a separate pair of hands.

Legal and investigative support

  • Finding witnesses
  • Gathering facts
  • Case analytics
  • Locating people and assets
  • Supporting a legal position

Private individuals

The first conversation is confidential and commits you to nothing. Sometimes it is enough to know what to do next.

Private security

  • Family safety
  • Fraud
  • Finding a person
  • Verifying information
  • Protecting personal data

International partners

The region needs more than translated documents: it needs an understanding of how decisions are actually made here.

  • Entering Central Asia
  • Local expertise
  • Investigations in the region
  • Due diligence
  • Security advisory

Industry colleagues

Competing is not compulsory: complex cases usually call for combined competencies. That is exactly what Qalqan exists for.

  • A case beyond your competence
  • Work in another jurisdiction
  • A subcontractor is needed
  • Exchange of practice
  • Referral network

Media

Topics, biography, photographs and a direct line are in the media section.

  • Expert comment
  • Interview or broadcast
  • Analysis of a high-profile case
  • Participation in a documentary

Government bodies

Experience includes the working group on Kazakhstan's private detective activity bill at the Atameken National Chamber and organising an international industry conference.

  • Industry expertise
  • Working groups and draft legislation
  • Conferences and educational programmes
  • Engagement with the professional community

Mental Shield students

A free programme. No mysticism: logic, facts and practical algorithms.

  • How to recognise manipulation
  • How not to fall for fraud
  • How to protect parents and children
  • How to think under pressure

Next step

Where to start

Describe the situation in two or three sentences — that is enough to establish whether a service is needed at all, and which one.
