Know what is coming.Before it happens.

Intelligence-grade threat analysis, delivered together with our selected partner, to protect your organisation and your people proactively.

Threat intelligence picture
The threat situation

Are you on the radar of hostile actors?

The threat

Active attackers

State actors and cybercriminals increasingly target organisations and their employees, in order to steal sensitive data, disrupt operations or compromise specific individuals.

The consequence

High-value targets

A successful compromise of your organisation causes disproportionate damage: physical danger to employees, loss of reputation, disclosure of confidential information and erosion of stakeholder trust.

The solution

Situational awareness

Systematic evaluation of the deep, dark and surface web as well as relevant social media channels detects concrete threats and vulnerabilities, so that you can act proactively instead of reacting.

Partnership

We deliver this service together with our selected partner, an internationally operating security company with an intelligence background. The combination of our social engineering expertise and their intelligence capabilities creates a threat picture that combines operational relevance with strategic depth.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is a threat intelligence picture?

A threat intelligence picture is a structured threat analysis that shows you whether and how your organisation is targeted by hostile actors, based on intelligence methodology and access to the deep, dark and surface web.

Who carries out the analysis?

The analysis is carried out by our specialised partner, a team of former intelligence experts with access to closed forums and privileged sources. HRC coordinates the entire process.

How long does it take?

From signing the non-disclosure agreement to the presentation of the results usually takes 12 weeks.

Are individuals analysed as well?

Yes. In addition to the organisation-level analysis, individual threat assessments can be carried out for executive management and exposed employees.

What happens after the threat picture?

Based on the results, further measures can be initiated: from permanent intelligence overwatch and targeted investigations to technical and physical security measures.
