Why MGSC

Experience You
Can Rely On

MGSC Security Consultants was established by a former Police officer with over 20 years of investigation and intelligence experience, including serious crime, criminal intelligence and structured investigation at the highest level.

We provide private clients, law firms, corporate businesses and high net worth individuals with intelligence gathered to the same methodological rigour applied to professional Police enquiries — systematic, source-cited and legally defensible.

Based in Greater Manchester, we operate across three regions — serving clients who require the highest levels of discretion alongside genuine investigative expertise, not simply database access.

Every instruction is handled personally, under strict NDA, using exclusively lawful open-source intelligence (OSINT) methods and professional-grade tools. We are fully compliant with UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Investigatory Powers Act 2016.

  • 20+ Years ExperienceInvestigation, criminal intelligence and serious crime experience forming the foundation of every instruction.
  • Qualified Security Risk ConsultantFormally qualified in security risk assessment — we contextualise intelligence into clear, actionable risk advice.
  • Court-Ready ReportsAll intelligence products are produced to an evidential standard — cited, dated and suitable for legal proceedings.
  • NDA on Every InstructionAll work conducted under non-disclosure agreement. GDPR compliant. Data deleted after delivery.
