Market analysis on the Investigative Agencies in Rome

The Financial Analysis Division of DOGMA has analyzed the market trends of the investigative agencies located in Rome, widening the picture throughout the national territory.

The last decade has witnessed a radical change in the presence of Investigative Agencies on the Italian sole. Precisely, between 2007 and 2017, there was a significant drop in the number of investigative agencies, which from 2,838 decreased to 1,521, with a diminution of 46%.

By contrast, the Region of Lazio has shown an increase in the number of the Agencies present on the territory, that from 185 recorded in 2007 have become 203 in 2017, of which 163 only in the province of Rome.

In particular, what has changed over the last 10 years is the number of requests made by companies and private individuals. The reason of such increase is that the Investigative sector has been able to adapt to the ever-increasing level of professionalism sought.

The recent legislation on investigative agencies (Ministerial Decree n. 269 of 2010) and the approval of the Code of Conduct for lawyers and private investigators (provision of the Italian Data Protection Authority No. 60 of 2008), have contributed to stimulate a relevant professional and organizational growth of the private investigative sector.

Dogma: point of reference among the Detective Agencies in Rome

Over the years, Dogma has been perfectly able to interpret and satisfy the professional change and the needs of its customers, with transparency and professionalism. Precisely for this reason, Dogma has remained at levels of continuous and constant growth.

The opening of the new headquarters of the Investigation Agency in Rome demonstrates, once again, the ability to broaden the scope of the investigative activities, through a widespread branching throughout the national territory. The new Office is also an important point of reference and coordination for the Central and Southern Italy area.

Dogma, the first Investigative Agency in Italy to have set up a Division of Investigative Psychology, is able to offer complete and in-depth Intelligence and Investigation services, thanks to a multidisciplinary staff composed of over 30 professionals, especially IT, legal counselors, psychologists, investigators and experts in criminology, forensic science and security management.

Private and corporate investigations: data from the Rome Office

Indeed, more than 65% of the corporate investigations conducted in this area concerns the verification of violations and abuses committed by unfaithful or absentee employees, in order to allow the company to protect its assets by licensing them for just cause.
