Enhanced & Investigative Due Diligence
Decision-grade due diligence designed to identify political, reputational, regulatory, and security risk that standard diligence often misses.
When the stakes are significant and the consequences of missed risk are irreversible, conventional commercial screening is not sufficient. Veritas Intelligence applies intelligence tradecraft — not database searches — to uncover what matters.
Pre-litigation intelligence, adverse party due diligence, asset and reputation risk analysis
Pre-investment diligence, partner vetting, counterparty intelligence, management background checks
M&A due diligence, third-party screening, market entry vetting, joint venture partner analysis
Discreet due diligence on investments, partners, advisors, and personal or family exposure
Intelligence Tradecraft, Not Database Searches
Our due diligence goes beyond what any database, commercial screening platform, or automated tool can surface. We apply intelligence collection methodologies refined across decades of CIA operations — combining open-source analysis with human source networks to identify risk that is deliberately concealed.
- Human source networks developed over 25+ years of operational experience
- Multi-source corroboration — no single-source conclusions
- Collection across jurisdictions where transparency is limited
- Tradecraft that protects client identity at every stage
Due Diligence Services
Every engagement is tailored to the client's specific transaction, risk profile, and jurisdictional complexity.
Enhanced Due Diligence
Comprehensive diligence designed to identify political, reputational, regulatory, and security risk that standard database searches and commercial screening consistently miss. Our methodology combines open-source intelligence with human source networks developed over decades of operational experience.
Investigative Due Diligence
When standard enhanced due diligence is insufficient, investigative due diligence deploys intelligence tradecraft to uncover deliberately concealed risk — hidden liabilities, undisclosed relationships, adverse regulatory history, and reputational exposure that subjects have actively worked to suppress.
Pre-Investment Due Diligence
Intelligence support for capital deployment decisions. We vet potential investments, partners, and counterparties across complex jurisdictions — identifying risks that investor decks and management presentations do not surface. Tailored for private equity, family offices, and institutional investors.
Litigation Support Due Diligence
Due diligence structured to support legal strategy, protect privilege, and meet evidentiary standards. We work with law firms on pre-litigation intelligence, adverse party analysis, and fact-finding in matters where international risk and complex fact patterns intersect.
Corporate Due Diligence
Due diligence for corporations evaluating acquisitions, joint ventures, third-party relationships, and market entry in complex or emerging markets. We identify regulatory, corruption, sanctions, and reputational exposure that conventional commercial screening does not reach.
Partner & Counterparty Vetting
Discreet background intelligence on potential business partners, counterparties, and management teams. Focused on identifying undisclosed conflicts, adverse associations, and risk factors that could materially impact the relationship or transaction.
Jurisdictional Depth Where It Matters
We conduct due diligence across complex jurisdictions where transparency is limited and reliable information requires networks and operational experience — particularly Latin America, South Asia, and the Middle East, where our founder has operated extensively as CIA Chief of Station.
- Latin America — two-time Chief of Station, native Spanish fluency
- South Asia — senior operational leadership across the subcontinent
- Middle East — Foreign Service and intelligence experience in the region
- Cross-border matters involving sanctions, corruption, and political risk
Why Veritas Due Diligence Is Different
Intelligence Tradecraft, Not Database Searches
Our due diligence goes beyond what any database, commercial screening platform, or automated tool can surface. We apply intelligence collection methodologies refined across decades of CIA operations — combining open-source analysis with human source networks to identify risk that is deliberately concealed.
Decision-Grade, Not Volume-Driven
We do not produce 100-page reports filled with public records summaries. Our deliverables are designed for decision-makers — principals, general counsel, and investment committees who need clear, actionable intelligence they can act on immediately.
Jurisdictional Depth
We conduct due diligence across complex jurisdictions where transparency is limited and reliable information requires networks and operational experience — particularly Latin America, South Asia, and the Middle East, where our founder has operated extensively.
