Seven integrated
practice areas.
Each service line is underpinned by a common methodology: human source intelligence combined with AI-augmented open-source analysis, applied by practitioners with direct field experience — not analysts working from a distance.
Political & Security Risk Advisory
Bespoke threat assessments, scenario planning, and early warning for corporates, investors, and governments entering or operating in fragile, contested, or transitional markets. We combine human source networks with AI-powered monitoring of open-source signals — media, social networks, and grey-zone indicators — to deliver assessments that reflect ground reality, not modelled assumptions.
Strategic Intelligence Products
Tailored intelligence reports, competitive analysis, market entry assessments, and monitoring briefs for clients operating in or entering complex markets. Our AI-augmented open-source analysis pipelines synthesise vast data streams into actionable intelligence; our human networks validate what no algorithm can verify.
Crisis & Access Advisory
Operational support for clients navigating active conflict, engagement with non-state armed groups, and humanitarian access facilitation. Extended to due diligence and third-party vetting for corporates, investors, and financial institutions requiring deep background intelligence on partners and agents in frontier markets.
IHL & Compliance Advisory
International humanitarian law guidance, sanctions due diligence, and expert litigation support for law firms, arbitration bodies, and institutions operating in conflict-adjacent contexts. Our IHL-qualified practitioners provide expert witness testimony, written legal opinions, and regulatory navigation support — with AI-assisted sanctions screening embedded throughout.
AI & Influence Threats
Strategic assessment and counter-analysis of AI-driven disinformation, coordinated influence operations, and narrative manipulation. We deploy AI detection and attribution tools alongside human analyst judgement to map, track, and counter influence operations across fragile political and competitive commercial environments.
Executive & Asset Protection Intelligence
Personalised threat profiling, travel risk intelligence, and asset security assessments for senior executives and organisations in high-risk environments. We provide the intelligence layer — not physical security provision — enabling informed decisions. AI-powered threat monitoring delivers continuous situational awareness while our field networks provide the ground truth no system can replicate.
Training, Assessment & Leadership Advisory
Bespoke assessment, training, and leadership advisory for organisations navigating complexity, transition, or performance challenges — across the public, private, and institutional sectors. Drawing on direct experience with government bodies, armed forces, international institutions, and corporate leadership teams, SISG evaluates organisational effectiveness, leadership capacity, and institutional resilience. Engagements range from discrete diagnostic assessments to sustained advisory relationships with senior leadership.
