Security Intelligence Information & Strategic Guidance

Overview Core Service

The way we think delivers different and clear analysis. Clients are not 'talked at' but participate in the process. The core principals of HTMA Consulting bring deep experience in scenario-building, in alternate futures exercises, in optimizing physical security, and specific knowledge areas — energy, defense markets, foreign media, crime and extortion, terrorism and insurgencies.

Our regional expertise flows from long residence, deployments and friendships in specific areas. HTMA associates dissect business, political and social 'facts', and redefine the labels 'relevant' and 'irrelevant'. HTMA goes to source, reflecting its combined financial, political, security investigative and field experience. Using these tools, HTMA both rounds out simplifications and simplifies abstractions.

Methodology
HTMA works one-on-one with each client to obtain a clear and comprehensive intelligence picture of potential geo-political, strategic and institutional risks. We develop, individually, with each client procedures and strategies that reduce or help manage those potential risks.

Intelligence Disciplines Multi-INT

We design solutions to meet each client's particular needs, integrating analysis from multiple intelligence disciplines:

Discipline Description Application
SIGINT Signals Intelligence Communications intercept analysis, electronic surveillance data
GEOINT Geospatial Intelligence Location-based analysis, mapping, spatial pattern recognition
OSINT Open Source Intelligence Media monitoring, public records, social media analysis
HUMINT Human Intelligence On-ground source networks, relationship-based information
ABI Activity Based Intelligence Predictive behavioral analysis, pattern-of-life modeling
AI / ML Artificial Intelligence Database analysis, media & social monitoring, predictive analytics

Our Approach Proprietary

We design solutions to meet each client's particular needs, including up-to-date proprietary intelligence gathering, interpretation of geo-political and social developments, corporate and political profiles, as well as risk projections for entire regions, nations, specific locations and specific projects or ongoing operations.

We can further provide the client with an ABI (Activity Based Intelligence) picture of the issue or target in question based on intelligence gathered from multiple sources, combined with predictive behavioral analysis and data analysis coupled with AI applied to database, media and social monitoring. Moreover, we can facilitate a comprehensive advisory and solutions package in the event of extraordinary circumstances or crises.

Economic & Socio-Political Intelligence Primary Expertise

HTMA's primary area of expertise is in the field of political, business, economic and socio-political intelligence and analysis. We have access to an extensive network of human sources, proprietary information and actual on-the-ground political and social intelligence, provided by an exceptional network of people as well as third-party sources spanning the globe.

We act as an intelligence collector and information aggregator with the ability to provide superior information, access and analysis. HTMA can access information relevant and pertinent to its clients and package that information into a comprehensible and actionable set of steps ready for client consideration or execution.

Key Differentiator
HTMA's true contribution is not only in the nature of the introductions and information provided, but also in the comprehensive analysis and unique, proprietary data that it can access on behalf of its clients. Our network can often get information or access to data that is difficult to obtain from any other source or network.

With access to properly packaged information of this nature, the client will be better prepared for the economic decision faced or the operating environment encountered. Additionally, we process information relevant on behalf of the client to provide project-specific analysis — ensuring a smoother, more socially integrated operation with fewer potential incidents of economic, political or social discord, and a clearer risk assessment picture.
