Employee might be leaking company info
We've had 3 major deals fall through this quarter and our competitor somehow knew our exact pricing each time. There's one sales guy who's been really cagey and protective of his work phone lately. He's also been meeting the competitor's rep for "coffee" according to our receptionist. Is there a text message tracker that actually works? Need to figure this out before we lose another client or worse, end up in a lawsuit.

Oof, been there. Had a similar situation 2 years back with our marketing lead. Turned out she was feeding campaign strategies to a startup her boyfriend was launching. Cost us a massive client.
For the text message tracker uMobix ? Tread carefully here. Depending on your location, monitoring company phones without explicit consent can land YOU in legal hot water, not just the sketchy employee.
What worked for us: HR pulled phone records (legit since it's company property), spotted the patterns, then had a direct confrontation with IT present. Guy cracked immediately when faced with call logs.
My 2 cents - loop in your legal team FIRST before installing anything. Document everything weird you're seeing. The "coffee meetings" alone might be enough if you have a solid non-compete clause. Sometimes just knowing you're watching makes them slip up on their own.
Also check your internal systems - might be a simpler leak than texts. We found ours was screenshotting Slack convos
