Tailored threat intelligence data

An intelligence collection plan is a process often used by armed forces and intelligence services to ensure that the intelligence requirements of a mission or client are met.

An ICP helps to close gaps in knowledge and provides clear direction for the collection process. They also give intelligence teams a standard structure to work from and help analysts remain focused on the task at hand.

Why is it important?

The intelligence collection plan process helps us to develop a deep understanding of your operations as well as who or what you’re protecting.

We aim to understand:

• If there are any gaps in your current intelligence collection
• The geographical areas you operate in and any plans for future expansion
• Any properties or assets across the globe you’ll be monitoring
• Where your people and employees regularly travel
• If there are particular routes they take, accommodation that they stay in or places they visit
• Groups of interest, including activists, terrorists and extremists
• Historical threats to your business or the industry as a whole

All of this detail allows us to provide you with a comprehensive and complete intelligence picture tailored to your organisation.

The information gathered during your ICP session is used to guide both our manual and datamining collection efforts. This means that we strengthen our internal resource, and identify new sources to extract data, to make sure that we’re always meeting your intelligence needs.

Your intelligence collection plan is a working document. So as your business evolves or your needs change, we can be reactive to new requirements.

Use cases for threat intelligence can vary significantly, which means that a standardised approach to intelligence collection puts you at risk of missing critical information. Whichever data or software solution you choose, our collection plan process promises a relevant, reliable and actionable feed of intelligence for you and your team.
