Meet Nisos—Human Risk Intelligence Experts
We help security teams identify, investigate, and prevent human-driven threats before they escalate.
Who Are We
Nisos is your Human Risk Management Partner
We’re a team of experts passionate about intelligence, investigation, and making a difference.
We recruit, train, and maintain a cadre of intelligence experts from US Intel, law enforcement, and the private sector with the skills and experiences that matter for unmasking threats to protect people and organizations.

Our Impact
It’s our mission to protect organizations from human-driven threats
We safeguard their people, clients, users, and critical assets.
For nearly a decade, Nisos has helped leading brands protect their reputation, reduce risk, mitigate losses, avoid regulatory fines, navigate legal processes, and maintain their competitive advantage.
We’ve exposed fraud schemes, protected executives, uncovered insiders, and helped organizations avoid losses while earning the trust of top brands.
What We Do
Nisos provides intelligence-driven human risk management solutions
We solve critical “who, what, why, how” questions. These challenges include protecting your executives from threats, identifying and preventing employment fraud and insider threats, and the human element of third-party risks.
We work with your intelligence, cybersecurity, HR, legal, and trust and safety teams – and existing tech stacks – to answer questions, address your specific risks, and inform critical decisions.
How We Do It
Nisos applies real-world experience
We aim to right the balance of power between threat actors and their targets – you. Our elite team of intelligence experts use advanced tradecraft and tools to surface intelligence other firms can’t, helping to reduce your risk.
We assess, monitor, and investigate as an extension of your team, delivering human risk intelligence without noise.

Investigations
We help law enforcement bring those who lurk in the shadows to justice. We partner with investigative journalists to shine a light on threats faced by organizations around the world.
A Legacy of Protecting Organizations from Human-Driven Threats
As cyber operators and intelligence professionals in the U.S. Government, our co-founders observed corporations who were routinely falling victim to sophisticated threat actors. These adversaries were traversing the digital and physical planes with ease, using opportunistic and targeted attacks to disable systems, foster distrust, and cause harm.
We founded Nisos with the mission to provide companies with adversary insights so they could better defend themselves. Today we help make the world safer by operating as an extension of our clients’ teams to help them make critical decisions, protect their organizations and people, and drive real world consequences.
