Intelligence & Security division

Intelligence & security for businesses.

Qualified information in support of decisions: corporate and strategic intelligence, OSINT, reputational risk, security consulting, travel risk and executive protection. For companies, law firms and executives who need to decide — not only to verify.

In brief

What corporate intelligence is.

Corporate intelligence is the practice of gathering, verifying and analysing information in support of business decisions. While investigations establish facts that have already occurred, intelligence builds a forward-looking scenario picture: assessing a counterparty, anticipating a reputational risk, protecting people and assets, managing the security of premises and travel. Ethix combines the two levels — establishing the facts and reading the context — under confidential engagement, with a deontological approach and traceable documentation.

Frequently asked questions

The most frequently asked questions.

What we mean by corporate intelligence, and how it differs from traditional investigative work.

What is corporate intelligence?

Corporate intelligence is the practice of gathering, verifying and analysing economic, corporate and competitive information in support of business decisions. Unlike simple documentary research, it combines open sources (OSINT) and qualified analysis to reduce uncertainty before a strategic choice: an investment, a partnership, entry into a new market or the assessment of a counterparty.

What is the difference between investigations and intelligence?

Investigations establish specific facts that have already occurred and produce usable documentation, often for legal or disciplinary purposes. Intelligence is future-oriented: it builds an informational and scenario picture to anticipate risks and support decisions. An agency such as Ethix combines the two levels — establishing the facts and reading the context — when a company needs to decide, not only to verify.

Who are intelligence & security services for?
