Global Experts in Workplace Investigations.
As Featured By
Prevent leakage. Protect margins. Restore accountability — with intelligence from within.
When performance drops, losses rise, or culture starts to fray, the “official” data often tells only part of the story. Dashboards don’t catch collusion. Internal reporting gets diluted. People change behaviour when they know they’re being watched.
Refined over more than 20 years, Warden Consulting conducts workplace and internal investigations across Mexico and LATAM to uncover misconduct, collusion, theft, and control failures inside real operating environments — so leadership can act on facts, not theories.
We operate as a legal + investigative hybrid: discreet fieldwork, disciplined evidence handling, and structured reporting that supports executive decisions, HR actions, security planning, and—when required—legal strategy.

No distorted reality
In many organisations, truth gets filtered on its way up. Staff avoid trouble. Middle management avoids looking incompetent. Vendors and insiders protect relationships. Even well-run audits can miss what’s happening day to day.
Our approach is designed to surface live, unfiltered reality—so leadership can see what’s actually happening, not what people say is happening.
Insight from the frontline
Often, the people closest to the operation hold the most valuable information—yet the conditions for that information to reach decision-makers aren’t there.
We bridge that gap, capturing frontline truth and translating it into clear findings and practical actions.
Practical fixes, not generic recommendations
Operational truth—captured carefully, verified properly, and delivered in a way that protects margins and supports key decisions.
What workplace investigations can uncover
Employee theft & internal fraud
Inventory shrinkage, diversion, parts leakage
Cash-handling exposure, returns abuse, ghost labour
Timesheet fraud, overtime manipulation, misuse of company assets
Procurement & vendor fraud
Inflated invoices, kickbacks, ghost services
Vendor collusion and internal influence
Procurement anomalies and control bypassing
Operational leakage & collusion
Access-control failures and weak gate discipline
Night-shift leakage patterns and supervision gaps
System workarounds that quietly become “normal”
Staff performance & supervision reality
Productivity drift and role misuse
Weak accountability structures
Training failures that create repeat risk
Health & safety and compliance in practice
Whether protocols are followed on the floor (not just on paper)
Unsafe norms, hazards, behavioural patterns
Where compliance posture is vulnerable
Culture & conduct risk
Bullying, harassment risk indicators, retaliation dynamics
Morale issues and breakdowns in trust
Where culture is enabling misconduct
How we work
Evidence-led, discreet, and built for real environments
Refined over more than 20 years, our workplace investigations are designed to uncover misconduct, collusion, theft, and control failures inside real operating environments. We use evidence-led investigative methods—and where appropriate, controlled covert techniques—to establish what is true, what is likely, and what remains unknown.
Real-time collection, disciplined reporting
Where appropriate, we capture information as it happens—through observation, verification, structured note-taking, and pattern analysis—so you’re not relying on retrospective explanations.
Our outputs are designed to be usable at executive level: clear, specific, sourced, and actionable.
Testing what happens when conditions change
One of the most valuable elements of inside-the-operation work is the ability to see how people and systems respond to changes—new controls, new processes, new supervision, new rules.
That means you don’t just learn what’s wrong—you learn what actually works in your environment.
Outputs you can act on
A Warden workplace investigation is designed to produce decisions and improvements, not just findings. Typically you’ll receive:
A clear narrative of what occurred (with supporting detail)
Who was involved (and the strength of indicators)
How the system was bypassed (controls, process, oversight)
Exposure assessment (operational, financial, cultural, safety)
Practical remediation you can implement quickly
These findings often become the blueprint for remediation across:
Operations (process redesign to reduce repeat exposure)
Security (CCTV, access control, guard force design, procedures)
Staff performance (supervision fixes, redeployment, removals where warranted)
Health & safety (improvements grounded in real behaviour, not policy language)
Who we support
We support corporates operating across Mexico and LATAM, especially in high-throughput and high-risk environments, including:
Manufacturing and industrial sites
Logistics, warehousing, and distribution (CEDIS)
Retail operations
Ports/terminals and transport-linked operations
Multinationals with compliance and third-party risk exposure
We work alongside HR, compliance, internal audit, corporate security, and in-house legal—aligning to decision pathways and confidentiality needs.
