Risk and Security | An Interview with Paul Viollis

For over three decades, Paul Viollis has dedicated his career to the protection of our country, as well as to the shareholder value of the businesses he has navigated to the pinnacle of their respective vertical markets.

What was your vision in creating Viollis Group International?

Our industry has withered considerably since we began, despite our original projections, leaving our firm positioned where we are today. My vision was truly global. When I was CEO of Risk Control Strategies, the vision there was much more domestic. As the world became more spontaneous with respect to need and the nature of a client’s desire for instant solutions on a global scale became more apparent, the need to be truly global was evident.

When I created Viollis Group, my intent was to reach back out to people I had worked with over my 38-year career from all different walks of life to come join me.

The vision was also to have a greater depth of technology and technological solutions and investigation, and that’s what we’ve built.


How have the service offerings evolved and what is Viollis Group’s sweet spot?

Information has become the cornerstone of the entire firm. One would think it would be cyber, and that is important. However, when we think about the forensic side of the investigation and when it comes to representing either very wealthy people or very large corporations, the nefarious individuals that are going to target that demographic will most likely not be found.

Cyber is more of a breezeway to the overall intelligence gathering we pride ourselves on. This ranges from in-depth investigative due diligence to the type of information that is available through cyber intelligence. These have enabled us to position ourselves with very large corporations, law firms, private equity firms, venture capital firms, hedge funds, private individuals, personal investors and institutional investors that are looking for information that is not readily available.

We dovetail that with advanced information gathering on what is going on in the world. We garner information on people and entities, validate intentions and peel back the onion so we can clearly crystallize who people should and should not be in business with.
