The Only Firm Converging Geospatial Technology
with Sanctions, Risk & Investigations

Most advisory firms bring policy expertise or technology fluency. SSI Analytics Inc. brings both — and layers on the operational field intelligence that only comes from two decades on the ground.

SSI Analytics Inc. was founded on a simple conviction: that geospatial technology fundamentally changes what is possible in geopolitical risk assessment, sanctions investigations, and due diligence. Location data, spatial networks, and GIS-driven analysis reveal patterns that traditional desk research simply cannot see.

Our principal brings together 20+ years of experience spanning UN terrorist financing investigations across East and Central Africa, national security research focused on Middle East geopolitics, and senior-level geospatial intelligence advisory across MEA markets.

For US-based clients — law firms, financial institutions, technology companies, and government agencies — SSI Analytics delivers the kind of spatially-informed, politically-grounded intelligence that shapes real decisions in complex markets.
