Our Intelligence and Advisory services include:

• Business & Competitive Intelligence: Stay ahead of the competition and informed about your operating environment. We provide market entry studies, competitor benchmarking, and stakeholder mapping to help corporate executives and investors identify opportunities and make strategic business moves with confidence. Our analysts examine industry trends, regulatory landscapes, and key players, delivering insights that give you a competitive edge.

• Geopolitical Risk Analysis: For clients with global interests, we offer deep analysis of country and regional risks – political stability, security threats, regulatory changes, and socio-economic trends that could impact your business. Our team (which includes regional experts and former government analysts) produces scenario planning, risk forecasts, and impact assessments that enable you to anticipate crises and adapt strategies accordingly. Whether you’re concerned about sanctions, conflict zones, or political upheaval, we’ll help you quantify and mitigate the risks.

• Threat Assessments & Protective Intelligence: The Simon Agency specializes in identifying and evaluating threats to people and operations. We conduct comprehensive threat assessments for facilities, events, executives, and cyber assets, helping clients understand their vulnerabilities and prepare defenses. Our protective intelligence analysts monitor open sources and dark web forums for early warning signs of targeting or malicious intent against our clients. By turning vast data into actionable alerts, we enable you to take preventive measures and neutralize threats before they materialize.

• Due Diligence Research (Compliance Intelligence): (See more under Due Diligence) Our intelligence team frequently supports due diligence investigations by delving into the backgrounds and networks of key individuals or entities. We check for hidden risks such as corruption, litigation history, reputation issues, or regulatory non-compliance that standard checks might miss. By providing an intelligence-led profile of prospective partners, investments, or hires, we help clients avoid costly entanglements and safeguard their organizations’ integrity.

• Crisis Monitoring & Advisory: In fast-moving crisis situations – from political unrest and natural disasters to pandemics – our agency offers real-time intelligence updates and strategic counsel. We monitor unfolding events through our global sources and on-ground contacts, giving clients timely information to make critical decisions (such as evacuations, supply chain adjustments, or public communications). Our advisors, experienced in crisis management, help you develop response plans and navigate the crisis to emerge resilient.

Our approach to intelligence is proactive and tailored. We recognize that each client’s risk profile is unique, so we align our analysis with your specific concerns and strategic goals. You’ll receive concise intelligence briefs, in-depth reports, and direct access to our analysts for discussions. In all cases, The Simon Agency remains “unbiased and non-partisan” in our assessments, ensuring you get objective information[3]. We turn information into a catalyst for your success – enabling smarter investments, stronger legal cases, and safer operations.
