SIU Consultant Group

What SIU Consultant Group does

SIU Consultant Group is a privately held, US-based nationwide investigation firm founded in 1998 and headquartered in San Ramon, California, operating with 11-50 employees. The company provides insurance fraud investigation, surveillance, activity checks, skip tracing, recorded statements, background and social media research, medical canvassing, and subrogation recovery services to insurance carriers, self-insured employers, third-party administrators, public entities, and legal counsel. Its primary commercial wedge is serving claims adjusters and insurance carriers managing workers' compensation, liability, and auto liability cases — a market where fraud is estimated to cost insurers $40 billion annually.

The firm's core technology asset is the Secured Case Management System, a proprietary cloud-based platform offering 24/7 real-time access to investigation files including video evidence, audio, background reports, and case documentation. The platform supports same-day case updates, electronic video delivery to medical providers, and multi-party connectivity across the claims team (employer, adjuster, attorney). The firm also operates an online referral portal for client intake and a secure client login for case management, alongside a toll-free intake line (888-748-1130).

SIU Consultant Group generates revenue through professional services fees on a per-case or retainer basis, with pricing negotiated per engagement rather than publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is primarily direct B2B sales (enterprise field sales targeting insurance carriers and self-insured employers) supplemented by inbound digital channels (website, online referral portal, LinkedIn, Facebook). The company maintains a California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services license (BSIS# 188748) and operates a nationwide investigator network across all 50 states.

Broad incumbents

• Kroll: Kroll is a global investigations, risk consulting, and security firm with a dedicated insurance claims investigation practice. It is comparable to SIU Consultant Group as a provider of corporate and insurance investigation services, though its portfolio is much broader including cyber, compliance, and financial advisory.
• LexisNexis Risk Solutions: LexisNexis Risk Solutions provides background check, identity verification, and insurance fraud detection data and analytics. It is comparable to SIU Consultant Group for the background research and skip-tracing portions of its service portfolio, but delivers them as data products rather than investigator-led services.
• Control Risks: Control Risks is a global risk consultancy with a significant investigations practice covering fraud, insurance claims, and corporate diligence. It is comparable to SIU Consultant Group in delivering investigative services to insurance and corporate clients, but with a much larger international footprint and broader consulting scope.
• Verisk: Verisk is a major insurance analytics and data provider whose ClaimSearch and anti-fraud solutions are used by carriers to detect suspicious claims. It is comparable to SIU Consultant Group as an upstream fraud-detection partner to insurers, though Verisk operates as a data/analytics incumbent rather than a field investigation firm.
• Allied Universal: Allied Universal is a large security and investigation services provider offering surveillance, investigative, and risk consulting to enterprise and insurance clients. It overlaps with SIU Consultant Group on insurance surveillance and investigation but serves a much broader security services market.

Emerging players

• Shift Technology: Shift Technology provides AI-native fraud detection and claims automation software to insurance carriers. It is comparable to SIU Consultant Group as it addresses the same insurance fraud workflow, but competes via software automation rather than human investigators — making it both a partial substitute and a productivity tool for legacy SIU providers.
• FRISS: FRISS is an insurtech company offering AI-powered fraud, risk, and compliance detection for property & casualty insurers. It overlaps with SIU Consultant Group's fraud detection value proposition but delivers it via real-time analytics at the point of claim rather than through post-claim field investigation.

Direct peers

It is directly comparable to SIU Consultant Group as both serve enterprise insurance carriers with surveillance and investigation services, though Pinkerton operates at significantly larger scale globally.
