Intelligence-as-a-Service (INTaaS) refers to a model where intelligence, particularly in the context of threat intelligence, is delivered as a service. This means organisations can access and utilise expert-driven intelligence without needing to build and maintain their own in-house intelligence capabilities.

Open-source intelligence (OSINT) is the practice of collecting and analysing publicly available information to generate actionable intelligence. With the increasingly interconnectedness of our society, and the vast volumes of publicly available data and information, OSINT has become a critical function within the broader craft of intelligence. Both public- and private-sectors have recognised the value of OSINT as the "INT of First Resort".

Intelligence can help businesses by: Identifying risks and threats before they impact operations. Monitoring competitors and market trends to gain a strategic edge. Conducting due diligence before making high-stakes business decisions. Enhancing information and cyber security by detecting vulnerabilities and potential breaches.

Industries such as finance, tech, energy, manufacturing, government, and defense rely on intelligence to make informed, risk-based decisions. Whether you're a startup, investment firm, or multinational company, intelligence can help you anticipate risks and seize opportunities.

An intelligence customer (or consumer) is the party for whom intelligence products are produced and disseminated to. In traditional, nation-state level intelligence, the customer would be government officials and policymakers. In the private sector, the customer would typically be business executives, managers, and other decision makers.

Deltabridge is an on-demand intelligence platform that connects businesses with expert intelligence analysts. Customers submit intelligence requests (otherwise referred to as "Requests for Information" or "RFIs") through the platform. Requests are matched with a Deltabridge Expert Analyst who provides the requested insights and delivers a timely and actionable finished intelligence product.

Deltabridge has one mission: to foster a democratised, modern intelligence community by making intelligence accessible to all. As such, we charge flat fees for all intelligence requests. We may charge more for custom, or more sensitive requests, but we handle these on a case-by-case basis.
