The annual cost of insurance fraud and wrongful claims to the industry is estimated to be around £1.6 billion.
IntaForensics provides data recovery and Computer Forensic Analysis for insurance companies, loss adjusters, claims investigators and claims managers. In today's technological society, the insurance claim investigation may require the interpretation of data held on computer systems, mobile phones or network storage devices.
IntaForensics can perform Computer Forensic Analysis to assist in the determination of cause. Where the incident involves the failure of, or damage to, the insured's computer network, areas of investigation might include virus attacks, denial of service attacks, computer hacking, phishing, spam email attacks and other malicious attacks on computer network security. In cases of data loss, IntaForensics can employ specialist procedures to recover lost data and repair computer hard drives to mitigate or reduce insurance claims.
The temptation to commit a fraud of this type is on the increase, but using the latest Forensic techniques, it is possible to recover evidence that can prove the sequence of events, and make life a great deal more difficult for the fraudsters.
IntaForensics was recently called in to recover vital business data from a computer which had suffered 'accidental' damage, apparently having been struck by a large falling object. Much to the annoyance of the owner of the computer, IntaForensics was able to recover all of the data from the hard disk, also providing evidence that the computer had not been used for at least six months. The insurer was therefore able to avoid a potential claim for loss of business data, plus the cost of the computer system, which overall saved the insurer £45,000 pounds.
