What Dogma does

Dogma S.p.A. is an Italian private investigation agency founded in 2004 and headquartered in Milan, with additional offices in Rome, Turin, London, and New York. The firm operates under government authorization (Prot. N. 8694/2011/area 1/ter) issued by the Territorial Government Office of Turin, allowing it to conduct defensive investigations under Italian law and to process sensitive personal data under Garante Privacy authorization n. 6/2009. Dogma serves four primary customer segments: corporate enterprises (commercial due diligence, employee misconduct, IP protection, anti-competitive behavior), law firms (defensive investigations, labor and family law support, judicial debt recovery), insurance companies (fraud detection and claims verification), and private individuals (infidelity, family law, asset investigations). The firm reports 6,000+ completed cases over 22+ years and a multidisciplinary staff of 30+ investigators, intelligence analysts, security managers, and psychologists.

Dogma's offering is structured around a proprietary technology stack rather than purely manual fieldwork. Its InvestigationTech platform applies AI and predictive analytics to movement and risk analysis; the DOGMA Cloud Virtual Data Room provides secure document handling for investigations; blockchain certification of investigative reports is offered as authenticity verification; and the T.I.S.P. System® (a registered trademark) is a proprietary counter-surveillance methodology. The company has built a multi-channel intake system combining physical offices, a toll-free line (800.750.751), live chat, an online investigation activation platform (webcam/OTP/digital signature), and a worldwide partner network for cross-border work. Revenue is generated primarily through project-based professional services billed at hourly rates of €50–€90, supplemented by a subscription-based premium assistance club (DOGMA+ Plus), training revenue from DOGMA Academy, and ancillary security and counter-surveillance services.

The business model is essentially that of a regulated professional services firm with a light technology overlay. Dogma does not disclose revenue and has not raised external funding; ownership appears founder/management-controlled under CEO Dimitri Russo. International expansion has been modest (two offices outside Italy), and productization beyond core investigations (DOGMA Cloud, DOGMA Academy, DOGMA+ Plus) is recent and unproven at scale.
