Intelligence, Consultancy & Operational Support for NGOs

Specialist Threat Intelligence for NGO Operations

Operating in fragile and conflict-affected environments requires a clear understanding of both conventional and emerging threats. EWS provides tailored intelligence support to NGOs, enabling better preparation, risk mitigation, and operational continuity.

Open Source Threat Database (OSTD)

Our Open Source Threat Database (OSTD) offers NGOs access to structured, verified intelligence on global explosive threats. This resource supports organisations working in high-risk regions where explosive hazards may impact personnel, logistics, or programme delivery.

Key capabilities include:

• Global monitoring of RCIED incidents
• Detailed technical insights into device types and trends
• Analyst-verified intelligence updates
• Access to supporting imagery and source material

OSTD enables NGOs to strengthen risk assessments and enhance duty of care for personnel operating in hazardous environments.

OverSite: UxV and Emerging Threat Intelligence

For NGOs operating in areas where unmanned systems and emerging technologies are present, OverSite provides critical insight into the use of drones and other unmanned platforms.

OverSite supports NGOs with:

• Intelligence on unmanned aerial and ground systems
• Analysis of adversary tactics and deployment patterns

This capability is particularly relevant for organisations operating in contested or surveillance-heavy environments.
