Code of Conduct

Upholding Integrity at Every Step

Integrity is the foundation of everything we do. From the moment a case begins, we commit to upholding truth above all else—ensuring that every test, every report, and every interaction is free from influence, manipulation, or bias. Our examiners act independently, prioritizing ethical decision-making and ensuring that our work stands up to scrutiny both legally and professionally.

“The truth is our highest priority.”

We understand that the nature of our work involves sensitive, personal, and often high-stakes information. That’s why we follow strict protocols to protect all data—from test results to personal disclosures—at every stage of the process. Information is only shared with authorized individuals and never used outside the agreed scope.

“What you share stays protected.”

Our credibility depends on the precision of our methods and the impartiality of our reporting. We use modern polygraph and ocular detection systems, combined with scientifically validated techniques, to ensure that outcomes are reliable and repeatable. All conclusions are based on data—not assumptions—so you can act on results with confidence.

“Science-driven. Result-focused.”

Regardless of the circumstances or allegations involved, every examinee is treated with empathy, professionalism, and respect. We are mindful of the emotional and psychological weight of truth verification, and we create a safe, supportive environment that promotes cooperation and transparency. Upholding dignity isn’t just ethical—it’s essential to getting accurate, honest results.

“Every person deserves fairness.”

Our work reflects not just our organization, but also the credibility of the broader industry. That’s why we adhere to international guidelines, engage in ongoing professional development, and welcome oversight and feedback. True professionalism demands transparency, continuous improvement, and an unwavering sense of responsibility.

We answer to the highest standards.”
