Recon Reports:
Analyst-Verified Risk Intelligence for Critical Security Decisions
Why Clients Use Recon Reports
Recon Reports are used to support defensible security decisions and retain documented due diligence before and after action is taken. This is not about predicting the future. It is about being able to show how and why decisions were made.
Recon Reports help organizations:
Demonstrate Informed Decision-Making
Show that security decisions were based on documented risk intelligence, not assumptions.
Client Briefings & Defensible Recommendations
Create a clear, retained record of risk assessment and decision support.
Defensible Security Posture
Support why a specific security posture was selected — or why alternatives were declined.
Justify Staffing, Scope & Spend
Provide intelligence-backed rationale for resourcing, coverage, and cost decisions.
Reduce Liability Exposure
Help reduce liability before and after incidents by documenting informed decisions
Support Leadership & Client Briefings
Use structured intelligence to brief leadership and clients with confidence.
Retain Review-Ready Intelligence
Maintain records that hold up under audit, review, or legal scrutiny.
Enable Post-Incident Review

About Our Reports
When a deeper dive into a person, entity, or threat group is needed, we have you covered. The reports are produced using our special blend of AI-powered data analytics and highly experienced intel operatives.
If you don’t see a report you need, contact us and we can look at how to fulfill your request.
Threat Vulnerability Assessment (TVA) Standard
A proprietary threat and risk analysis focused on security and threat factors associated with a location or specific place. These reports are useful for planning events, getting baseline risk understanding, advocating for security resources, optimizing security placement, and understanding possible weak points. These can be performed in any location domestically or abroad. These follow a five-factor assessment (Commerce/Investment, Weather/Terrain, Economy/Government, Terrorism, Critical safety/Security information) and are delivered as easy-to-read/brief reports.
Threat Vulnerability Assessment (TVA) Deep Recon
The Deep Recon is a much lengthier report than the TVA scan and covers several security and risk factors in depth. This report offers a complete understanding of all threats and risks in and around the property and can be helpful when negotiating contracts, planning important events, or choosing properties for operations.
Intelligence Summary (INTSUM)
A summary of SIGACTS (significant threat activities/events/indicators) over a given time period for a given geolocation/or threat topic. Usually, INTSUMS covers 30 days and provides a recent review of threat activity. These reports are useful to obtain or provide a useful snapshot of recent risks or threat topics in a given area or place.
Situation Report (SITREP)
A report on a given threat topic, event, or organization that provides an update on an emerging or ongoing threat/risk environment. Multiple SITREPs may be necessary to adequately cover a topic. These reports are useful for specific conferences, protective operations, client updates, critical event updates, and more.
Human Risk Assessment (HRA)
includes detailed investigations into criminal history, financial history, civil records, and more extensive employment and education verification
Human Risk Scans (HRS)
Include national criminal databases, sex offender registries, education and employment verification, and possibly credit checks.
Company Vulnerability Profile
A comprehensive report on an organization’s attack surface across multiple edges and vectors. This results in a report covering prioritized threats and potential weaknesses. Think of this report as a Recon into your organization’s weakest points and areas of concern based on threat, business environment, and organizational analysis.
Personal/Entity Vulnerability Profile
A comprehensive report on a Pricipals attack surface across multiple edges and vectors. This results in a report covering social, political, business, and financial actions that could expose the principal to security risks. This includes dark web scans of available private data, a negative sentiment that could lead to security events, and details on assets and exposure. This report allows the Security team to advise principals on known risks as well as recommend actions the principal may take to lower the risk exposure.
City/Country Risk Reports
A City/Country Risk Report is a comprehensive document that evaluates the potential risks and challenges associated with operating or traveling in a specific city or country. These reports are used by businesses, government agencies, NGOs, and individuals to make informed decisions about investments, travel, and strategic planning.

These reports are very important for understanding early indicators of threats and possible attacks, from cyber threats to kidnapping or organized crime.
Deep Web Vulnerability

This assessment aims to identify security threats and data breaches that could affect an organization or individual
