Gurpreet Thathy is a Director at Valkyrie and a specialist in complex, intelligence-led investigations with a strong operational and technical foundation. He is regularly instructed by law firms, corporates, and private clients to investigate individuals, organisations, and digital footprints in the context of litigation, disputes, and reputational or security concerns.
Highly regarded for his discretion, precision, and calm under pressure, Gurpreet blends digital forensics, open-source intelligence (OSINT), and surveillance countermeasures to generate timely, evidence-based insights. He has led investigations involving asset tracing, intellectual property theft, insider threats, surveillance detection, and the profiling of persons of interest. His work frequently informs litigation strategy, supports high-value arbitration, and underpins cross-border due diligence.
As head of Valkyrie’s Technical Surveillance Counter Measures (TSCM) practice, Gurpreet leads a specialist in-house team in detecting and mitigating eavesdropping threats.

He is a recognised authority in the field and has been featured as an expert in media interviews, podcasts, and televised documentaries.
Drawing on experience across cyber operations, law enforcement support, and private client advisory, Gurpreet is valued for his ability to bridge technical, human, and behavioural intelligence. He is frequently retained in fast-moving or highly sensitive matters, where clarity, discretion, and sound judgment are paramount.
