Unmask adversaries. Protect against human risk and digital threats.
Nisos is a human risk intelligence and managed investigations company that protects organizations and their people from human-driven and digital threats by operating as an extension of their security, intelligence, and legal teams. It leverages a team of expert analysts, specialized in open-source intelligence and adversary tradecraft, to provide actionable intelligence that addresses complex risks like executive threats, insider fraud, and third-party vulnerabilities. By focusing on the human element behind threats, Nisos helps clients identify, investigate, and mitigate risks before they can escalate and cause reputational or financial harm.

Ascend™ is the AI-powered human risk management platform that productizes Nisos's expert tradecraft and puts its capabilities directly into the client's hands. The software offers at-a-glance visibility into risk exposure, and enables teams to conduct client-led risk assessments and continuous threat monitoring at scale. Modules within the platform address specific areas of concern, such as executive protection and insider threats, by collecting and analyzing signals from the surface, deep, and dark web. Ascend delivers real-time external signal intelligence, detects behavioral patterns, and provides risk analytics, allowing organizations to identify early warning signs of threats and accelerate investigations with AI-powered attribution. It is designed to complement Nisos's analyst-led services, providing a comprehensive solution for managing human-centric risks.
