A 360° view of clients and partners

We take a holistic approach to customer and jurisdiction assessment. Ethics in intelligence work are dynamic, and we regularly reassess:

  • operational consequences
  • accountability obligations
  • alignment with our purpose and values

These evaluations are grounded in long-term principles of responsible intelligence delivery. For instance, we may choose not to operate in certain jurisdictions if there is a foreseeable risk that our capabilities could be misused or lead to harm.
