Capabilities

Core Service Lines

Four integrated operational domains delivered across the full threat lifecycle with precision, evidentiary discipline, and absolute confidentiality.

01 / INTELLIGENCE

Intelligence & Threat Analysis

MITRE ATT&CK-mapped adversary tracking, APT group profiling, geopolitical risk modeling, and dark web intelligence. We produce structured assessments — finished intelligence with sourcing, confidence levels, and scenario forecasts — not raw data dumps.

  • APT group profiling & nation-state attribution
  • Dark web & DARKINT monitoring
  • OSINT/HUMINT/SIGINT collection & analysis
  • Geopolitical risk assessment & scenario modeling
  • Threat actor TTP mapping (MITRE ATT&CK)
  • Strategic intelligence reports with confidence ratings
MITRE ATT&CK APT Tracking DARKINT HUMINT Geopolitical Risk
02 / CYBERSECURITY

Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Protection

Full-spectrum offensive and defensive operations: red team engagements (external/internal/physical/social), SOC support, SIEM/SOAR integration, and 24/7 incident response. We work at the operational layer — not just assessments, but active threat containment.

  • Red team & full-scope penetration testing (PTES/OSSTMM)
  • Active Directory, cloud, web, mobile, and OT/ICS security
  • SOC operations support & SIEM/SOAR integration
  • 24/7 Incident Response — retainer & ad-hoc
  • DFIR: forensics, malware analysis, chain-of-custody
  • Purple team exercises & adversary simulation
Red Team / PTES SOC Operations DFIR SIEM / SOAR ICS / OT Security
03 / SOFTWARE

Custom Security Software Development

Bespoke security tooling engineered for classified and high-sensitivity environments. Custom SIEM connectors, threat intelligence platforms with STIX/TAXII feeds, end-to-end encrypted communication systems, and proprietary collection infrastructure — built to spec, not adapted from templates.

  • Custom SIEM & threat intelligence platforms
  • STIX/TAXII-compatible intelligence feed infrastructure
  • End-to-end encrypted (E2EE) communication systems
  • Proprietary OSINT collection & processing pipelines
  • AI-assisted threat detection & anomaly analysis modules
  • Secure API integrations for enterprise security stacks
STIX / TAXII E2EE Comms Custom SIEM AI Detection Classified Ops
04 / IDENTITY

Identity & Document Verification

Professional examination of personal identification documents for authenticity, manipulation indicators, cross-document consistency, and fraud exposure. We support high-risk onboarding, internal investigations, compliance-sensitive due diligence, and dispute-sensitive credential review with structured findings rather than informal opinion.

  • Passport, national ID, residence permit, and driver's license review
  • Forgery, substitution, tampering, and image-manipulation detection
  • MRZ, layout, typography, and security-feature consistency analysis
  • Cross-document identity correlation and discrepancy reporting
  • KYC / onboarding support for high-risk jurisdictions and counterparties
  • Formal reporting suitable for compliance, legal, and investigative workflows

Philosophy

Operational Principles

Our approach has been refined through eight years of operational experience across high-risk environments globally.

01

Confidentiality as Foundational Practice

02

Structured Methodology

No ad-hoc assessments. All analytical work follows the five-stage framework, ensuring consistency and defensible conclusions.

03

Source Documentation

All intelligence data is cross-verified and sources are documented to the point of collection.

04

Tailored Precision

Solutions are engineered from the specific client threat model, not adapted from generic frameworks or templates.

05

Hybrid Intelligence

Open-source and proprietary intelligence are systematically integrated for superior situational awareness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our services, methodology, and engagement process.

CSIID delivers four integrated service lines. Intelligence: MITRE ATT&CK-mapped threat actor tracking, APT profiling, dark web monitoring, geopolitical risk modeling, HUMINT/OSINT collection. Cybersecurity: Full-scope red team engagements (external/internal/physical/social engineering), SOC support, SIEM/SOAR integration, 24/7 IR retainer, DFIR (forensics, malware analysis, chain-of-custody), purple team exercises, ICS/SCADA security. Identity & Document Verification: professional examination of passports, IDs, residence permits, driver's licenses, breeder documents, and forgery indicators for KYC, internal investigations, and high-risk onboarding. Software: Custom SIEM connectors, STIX/TAXII threat intel feeds, E2EE communications, proprietary collection pipelines, AI-assisted anomaly detection.

Yes. CSIID conducts structured examination of passports, national identity cards, residence permits, visas, driver's licenses, and related supporting documents to identify manipulation, substitution, counterfeit indicators, and cross-document inconsistencies. Depending on scope, reviews may include visual and layout examination, typography and security-feature checks, MRZ consistency review, image-integrity assessment, and evidentiary reporting for compliance, due diligence, onboarding, insider-risk review, and investigative matters.

CSIID offers IR retainer agreements providing guaranteed response SLAs: initial triage within 2 hours, full team mobilization within 6 hours, 24/7/365. Retainer clients receive pre-engagement preparation — asset inventory review, playbook customization, tabletop exercises — so response is immediate rather than reactive. IR follows NIST SP 800-61r2 phases: Preparation → Detection & Analysis → Containment → Eradication → Recovery → Post-Incident Review. All forensic work maintains chain-of-custody for potential legal proceedings.

Six primary verticals: Financial Services (PCI-DSS, SWIFT CSP, DORA, SOX); Government & Defense (NIST 800-53, FedRAMP, ITAR); Critical Infrastructure / Energy (NERC CIP, IEC 62443, NIS2 Directive); Telecommunications (SS7/Diameter security, GSMA FS.07, CALEA compliance); Legal & Professional Services (GDPR, attorney-client privilege protection, ABA Model Rules); Private Clients / HNWI (personal threat assessment, digital footprint reduction, travel security intelligence). Each engagement is scoped against the applicable regulatory framework.

Reasonable due diligence: (1) Corporate email — all correspondence originates from @csiid.com with valid SPF/DKIM/DMARC records. (2) Technical inquiry — request a scope-of-work document or threat model template; our team responds with structured, technically precise answers. (3) Secure contact — we support PGP-encrypted communication for sensitive inquiries; request our public key via info@csiid.com. (4) Credentials — team members can provide verifiable certification credentials (CISSP, OSCP, CISA) through official (ISC)², Offensive Security, and ISACA verification portals. We operate with intentionally minimal public footprint by design — not by default.

CSIID penetration tests follow PTES (Penetration Testing Execution Standard) and OSSTMM. Phases: Pre-engagement (scope definition, rules of engagement, legal authorization); Reconnaissance (passive/active OSINT, infrastructure enumeration); Threat Modeling (attack surface analysis, MITRE ATT&CK scenario planning); Exploitation (controlled, documented, with real-time client coordination option); Post-Exploitation (lateral movement, privilege escalation, persistence evaluation); Reporting (executive summary + full technical annex with CVE references, CVSS scores, and remediation roadmap). Scope options: external network, internal network, web application, mobile, Active Directory, social engineering, or full red team.

Submit via the secure inquiry form on this page or email info@csiid.com directly. For sensitive inquiries, request our PGP public key for encrypted communication. Response SLAs: standard inquiries within 24 hours, priority engagements within 4 hours, active incident response within 2 hours for retainer clients. Initial scoping call typically within 48 hours. We operate 24/7/365 across all time zones. All initial communications are treated as confidential regardless of whether an engagement is initiated.

Team certifications: CISSP (ISC)², OSCP (Offensive Security), CISA (ISACA), CEH (EC-Council). Operational standards: ISO/IEC 27001:2022, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, PTES, OSSTMM. Industry memberships: ISACA, (ISC)², ISSA, OWASP. All operations are conducted within applicable legal frameworks. Engagements requiring formal authorization documentation are provided with signed rules-of-engagement prior to any active testing.
