How to Run an Incident Investigation in 72 Hours | Siva RP I Corp Security
Most workplace investigations fail for one reason:
They start without a process.
Professional investigators follow a structured methodology designed to preserve facts, protect evidence, and produce defensible findings.
The 72-Hour Investigation Framework:
📍 Day 1 — Preserve
• Secure the scene
• Collect witness statements
• Preserve evidence
• Protect documentation
📍 Day 2 — Analyze
• Conduct structured interviews
• Review records and documentation
• Build a timeline
• Identify gaps and inconsistencies
📍 Day 3 — Report
• Develop findings
• Document evidence
• Present recommendations
• Produce a defensible investigation report
Speed matters.
Accuracy matters more.
The best investigators deliver both.
That's the difference between reacting to incidents and professionally investigating them.
