Field Operations & Human Intelligence
Our defining capability. The discipline our competitors have abandoned.
The Problem
There is intelligence that no database, no open-source report, and no digital tool can provide. It exists only in the knowledge of people: inside organizations, inside environments, and inside relationships. Collecting it requires a trained operative in the field, with the skills to develop trust, manage sources, and extract reliable primary intelligence.
Most corporate intelligence firms have quietly moved away from this. The industry has shifted to screens - analysts monitoring social media, algorithms processing public data, reports generated from what is already visible. It is cheaper. It is scalable. And it cannot tell you what you actually need to know.
Why Corporate Intelligence Agency
Corporate Intelligence Agency moved the other way. We invest in operatives - people trained in HUMINT first contact collection, source development, covert surveillance, and counter-surveillance. People who work in the physical world, not on dashboards. Boots on the ground, in Romania and internationally.
HUMINT First Contact, the discipline of approaching and developing a human source inside a target environment, is the most demanding capability in intelligence collection. It cannot be automated, outsourced to a junior analyst, or replicated by a platform. It requires experience, tradecraft, and physical presence. Corporate Intelligence Agency delivers it.
When you need to know what is actually happening inside an organization, what a competitor is planning, or who is behind a threat - this is the capability that answers the question.
Solutions - What we deliver
▸ HUMINT (including First Contact Operations)
The collection of intelligence directly from human sources - developed, managed, and validated by trained Corporate Intelligence Agency operatives. First Contact Operations represent the most demanding phase: the initial approach to and development of a source inside a target environment. This is the foundation of everything Corporate Intelligence Agency does.
▸ Operative Profiling & Target Analysis
Behavioral, operational, and situational profiling of individuals and groups to support source development, field decision-making, and investigative targeting. Corporate Intelligence Agency profiling is built from direct field observation and primary intelligence - not inferred from social media or public records.
▸ Field-Verified Intelligence Collection
Every piece of intelligence is pressure-tested against field-verified evidence. We move beyond inference, utilizing HUMINT First Contact to cross-corroborate digital findings with primary source reality, delivering actionable intelligence that is immune to algorithmic error.
▸ Undercover Worksite Investigations
Sustained deployment of trained operatives within target organizations to collect primary intelligence on misconduct, fraud, or operational irregularities from the inside. The most direct and reliable method for establishing what is actually happening in an environment to which external access is restricted.
▸ Controlled Acquisition Operations
Covert test-purchase operations to document vendor fraud, counterfeit supply, or corrupt commercial practices. Operatives conduct the acquisition directly, establish the evidence chain, and document findings to litigation standard.
▸ Covert Physical Surveillance
Ground-deployed mobile and fixed surveillance teams operating locally, nationally, and internationally. Human-led, legally compliant and operationally managed. Used for subject observation, movement tracking, location confirmation, and intelligence collection in the field.
▸ Covert Technical Surveillance
Operative-deployed audio and visual documentation of subjects and events for intelligence collection and evidentiary purposes. Applied in conjunction with physical surveillance to build complete, documented intelligence records. All technical operations are conducted within legal parameters.
▸ Hostile Surveillance Detection
Identification and attribution of surveillance operations directed against your organisation, principals, or facilities. Corporate Intelligence Agency operatives detect the presence of hostile surveillance teams, establish their identity, and attribute their operations, providing the intelligence basis for counter-action.
▸ Counter-Surveillance Operations
Active field measures to detect, document, disrupt, and neutralize hostile surveillance. Deployed when hostile surveillance has been confirmed or is strongly suspected. Operatives manage the counter-surveillance operation from the field, not from a control room.
▸ Tactical Operative Field Support
Boots-On-ground operative support for time-sensitive intelligence moments and dynamic field situations — including short-notice deployments, rapid-response collection requirements, and operational support for other Corporate Intelligence Agency investigations and assessments.
▸ Technical Counter Surveillance Measures (TSCM)
We ensure the absolute integrity of your sensitive environments. This service involves a comprehensive, physical sweep and neutralization of any unauthorized technical presence. We move beyond the limitations of automated scanning; our process is defined by expert-led, field-conducted detection that physically verifies the security of your space. If there is a breach in your operational perimeter, we identify, isolate, and neutralize it on-site.
