Benjamin House
Founder, Veritas Intelligence
Benjamin House is the Founder of Veritas Intelligence, a boutique global intelligence and risk advisory firm supporting law firms, investors, corporations, and private clients facing complex, high-stakes decisions. His career spans more than three decades across intelligence, diplomacy, military counterintelligence, and executive leadership.
Benjamin retired from the Central Intelligence Agency as a Senior Operations Officer in the Directorate of Operations, where he served twice as Chief of Station, as Senior Representative to the Director of National Intelligence, and in senior operational leadership roles across Latin America and South Asia. He was also a senior instructor at the CIA's Directorate of Operations training academy.
Before the CIA, Benjamin served as a U.S. Foreign Service Officer with the Department of State in Latin America, South Asia, and the Middle East, focused on international security, political-military affairs, and counterterrorism. Earlier, he served in the U.S. Army as a Counterintelligence Special Agent, conducting counterespionage investigations and operational security assessments, and later as an instructor at the Department of Defense's Advanced Counterintelligence Training Academy.
Following government service, Benjamin led global safety and security operations for a Fortune 500 company, responsible for protecting more than 25,000 employees across 2,000+ locations worldwide.

What We Do
Discreet & Defensible
Our work reflects an understanding of legal exposure, privilege, and reputational risk. Client identity, intelligence requirements, and operational details are compartmentalized at every level. We work with a limited number of clients to ensure senior-level attention.
Legally Compliant
Every collection method and analytical process operates within the legal frameworks of applicable jurisdictions. Veritas holds FL License # A3400174 and structures all work to meet evidentiary standards and protect privilege.
Veteran-Owned & Mission-Driven
Veritas Intelligence is a Service-Connected Disabled Veteran-Owned Business. Our founder is a service-connected disabled veteran with more than three decades of service across the CIA, U.S. Department of State, and U.S. Army.
Operational Approach
Every engagement follows a disciplined intelligence cycle refined across three decades of operations across five continents. Methodology is adapted to the client's specific requirements and risk profile — never templated, never commoditized.
Scoping & Requirements Definition
Initial consultation to define the intelligence requirement, assess the risk landscape, and establish operational parameters. All engagements are subject to conflict checks and jurisdictional review. We scope for decision relevance — not volume.
Collection & Source Development
Multi-source intelligence gathering through HUMINT, OSINT, proprietary databases, and vetted networks. Our approach draws on decades of human intelligence tradecraft — not database aggregation — to surface risk that conventional diligence misses.
Analysis & Corroboration
Raw intelligence is processed through structured analytical frameworks. Findings are corroborated across independent sources before inclusion in any deliverable. No assessment is issued without multi-source validation.
Decision-Grade Reporting
Delivery of intelligence products with executive summary, risk assessment, and actionable recommendations tailored for principals, investment committees, and legal teams. Follow-on monitoring and advisory available.
