Security Intelligence & Counter-Intelligence

Counter-Intelligence is the collective term used to describe all those measures taken to discover, assess and defeat the threat from hostile organisations, including competitors, corporate spies and terrorist groups.

In its simplest from, it has two distinct but inter-related aspects – one offensive, the acquisition of Security Intelligence, the other defensive, the implementation of Protective Security – to ensure the security of personnel, assets and information.

It is impossible to provide protective measures unless there is a sound understanding of the nature of the threat. Moreover, this needs to be a continual cycle of identification, appraisal and defensive measures.

Most conventional ‘security’ companies fail because they do not understand this, do not have a counter intelligence capability and therefore implement security measures against an undetermined source of threat.

Any plans to counter the activities of hostile organisations, competitors, criminals and corporate spies must be based on timely and accurate intelligence concerning the: identity, organisation, methods, motives, capabilities, locations and targets of the opposition, based on counter-intelligence operations.

Our specialists in this area use the careful study of attempts to break through a client’s security controls combined with the analysis and penetration of hostile organisations, and use of covert and overt sources, to provide intelligence from which appraisals and re-appraisals of the threat may be made.

Our counter-intelligence operatives and security analysts are well versed in the correct methods of assessing and countering such threats, and are drawn from UK special forces, security and military intelligence analysts.
