What Protiviti Brasil does

Protiviti Brasil (legal name ICTS Global Serviços de Consultoria em Gestão de Riscos LTDA) is a Brazilian enterprise consulting firm founded in 1995 and headquartered in São Paulo (Barueri), operating as a member firm of the global Protiviti network across 25 countries. The company delivers professional services across six core lines: Compliance & Forensics (anti-fraud, M&A/IPO support, asset investigation, DFIR digital forensics, governance); Management Consulting (business transformation, risk management, business continuity, TPRM, RPA/BPMS, AI agent orchestration, loss prevention); Internal Audit (IT, operational, regulatory, investigative, and SOX audits, plus managed internal audit services); Cybersecurity & Data Privacy (LGPD compliance, cloud security, threat intel, OT security, tech governance, AI governance, pentest, DLP via Safetica); ESG/Sustainability (regulatory support, anti-harassment); and dedicated AI Services. It also runs an Education platform for compliance and professional training.

The firm's underlying technology stack combines proprietary methodologies (DFIR, Investigação de Ativos, TPRM, Profit Shield) with partner technologies including Alteryx for low-code analytics, Safetica for Data Loss Prevention, and IoT sensors feeding AI-driven predictive models in retail loss prevention. AI capabilities span generative AI governance, autonomous process orchestration, predictive analytics, anomaly detection, RPA, OSINT, and computer vision–based forensic investigation. Profit Shield, co-founded by executive Rodrigo Castro, is a sub-brand that productizes IoT + AI for retail refrigeration monitoring and predictive maintenance, delivering documented outcomes of R$6.5M annual loss reduction and R$7.5M annual energy savings for an unnamed leading Brazilian retailer.

Commercially, Protiviti Brasil operates an enterprise field-sales motion with no self-serve or channel-partner distribution; senior consultants scope and deliver bespoke engagements on project or multi-year retainer contracts, with no publicly disclosed rate cards. The firm employs more than 500 professionals (one firmographic source states 307, reflecting inconsistency in the data) and serves 74% of Brazil's top 100 companies in the Valor 1000 ranking. Named enterprise clients span financial services (GP Investments, Rio Bravo Investimentos), energy/food (Raízen, Petrobras/BRF), transportation/retail (Rodobens), media (Globo), and retail. The company is wholly owned under ICTS Holding, which in February 2026 reorganized into two independent business fronts, placing Protiviti at the core of a Compliance, Risk Management, Data Privacy, and Cybersecurity portfolio alongside technology platform Be.Aliant and software reseller Nexoria. Protiviti Brasil is the only consultancy certified Pró-Ética by the Brazilian government's CGU for six consecutive years and was recognized in six categories in Leaders League 2026.
