Foundational Intelligence & Profiling

Due Diligence & OSINT Intelligence — Stakeholder Profiling and Risk Assessment

Knowing Your Stakeholders

Behind every business decision lies a network of people, entities, and interests. Doing your due diligence is essential to understanding who you’re working with — and what risks may be hidden beneath the surface.

NSSG’s Foundational Intelligence & Profiling services provide clients with structured corporate investigations, enhanced background checks, and detailed risk assessments on companies, individuals, and networks. Our approach combines advanced open source intelligence (OSINT), HUMINT, dark web exploration, and commercial data to produce tiered intelligence reports — from rapid checks to in-depth investigations.

We map:

• Ownership structures and beneficial interests
• Political affiliations, litigation history, and sanctions exposure
• Reputational backgrounds and conflict-of-interest indicators

This intelligence enables better decisions in M&A, market entry, vendor selection, and strategic partnerships. It also supports compliance, background checks and screening, and know your customer (KYC) requirements — helping organizations reduce exposure and protect their reputations.

Our monitoring programs go beyond single reports, providing security alerts when risk profiles change. In today’s interconnected environment, due diligence is not a one-time exercise — it’s a strategic layer of protection. Trust must be verified — not assumed.
