Corporate Intelligence, Counterintelligence & Insider Threat Advisory

About Temple-Rubicon

Temple Risk Advisory is a specialized corporate intelligence and counterintelligence firm focused on human-driven risk in high-stakes environments. We support boards of directors, general counsel, and senior leadership in identifying, assessing, and neutralizing insider threats, corporate espionage, and institutional betrayal - particularly when the risk is embedded in people, relationships, and covert human behavior rather than systems alone. In addition, one of our programs "Rubicon Insights group" provides highly select corporate counterintelligence, insider threat, espiopnage and clinical leadership consultation and training programs.  

 

Our work is designed for organizations where the consequences of misjudgment are severe and the tolerance for uncertainty is low. We provide intelligence-grade insight, not simply investigative output, enabling decision-makers to act with confidence in legal, regulatory, and board-level settings.

Wo We Serve

Temple Risk Advisory works with organizations that require intelligence-grade clarity and strategic decision support, including:

  • Boards of Directors and Special Committees

  • General Counsel and Litigation Teams

  • Enterprise Risk Management and Security Leadership

  • Insider Threat Programs

  • Regulated and high-trust organizations

 

We structure engagements to align with existing governance frameworks, legal requirements, and risk management practices.

Intelligence Isn’t Gathered -
It’s Extracted.

Operational Discretion

Temple Risk Advisory maintains strict operational anonymity for its personnel and sources. Information is handled on a need-to-know basis, and engagements are conducted with minimal internal visibility unless otherwise directed by counsel or the board.

Mission & Values

Temple Risk Advisory exists to protect organizations from human-driven risk by providing intelligence-grade clarity, judgment, and strategic insight. Our mission is to identify and neutralize insider threats, corporate espionage, and institutional betrayal before they become irreversible losses.

 

We operate according to a set of core values that guide every engagement:

  • Integrity: Honest, evidence-based assessments without sensationalism or bias.

  • Discretion: Protecting client confidentiality, operational security, and the safety of our personnel.

  • Rigor: Applying disciplined analysis and methodological precision to every case.

  • Accountability: Delivering intelligence products that are defensible, auditable, and aligned with governance requirements.

  • Human-Centric Insight: Prioritizing human context and behavioral understanding as the foundation of risk analysis.

Whether the issue is corporate, legal, or personal in nature, our model fuses intelligence, counter-intelligence and  investigative methodologies with forensic behavioral science to penetrate deception, uncover hidden influences, neutralize threats and resolve critical uncertainties.

The Temple Risk Advisory Difference

Operational Experience + Advanced Academic Rigor

Temple Risk Advisory’s personnel combine decades of frontline experience across national security, intelligence services, military intelligence, and specialized law-enforcement investigative units with advanced university education - up to and including doctoral-level training.

​

Areas of specialization include:

  • Operational-Forensic Behavioral science (doctoral-level)

  • Intelligence & Geopolitical Studies (doctoral level)

  • Law and Litigation-Grade Intelligence Support (practising legal counsel)

  • Forensic Accounting and Financial Intelligence (CPA  level)

  • Computer Science, Digital Forensics & Technical Intelligence (Degree/Graduate level)

TEMPLE RISK ADVISORY INTELLIGENCE MODEL

Intelligence-Led. Behaviorally Informed. Operationally Grounded.

Temple Risk Advisory operates as a private intelligence and counterintelligence firm providing boards, executive leadership, private equity firms, and corporate counsel with discreet, intelligence-led insight into high-stakes corporate risk. Our operating model is designed to surface covert threats, insider risk, compromised decision-making, and hidden influence that conventional compliance, audit, or investigative approaches often fail to detect.

 

We do not approach risk as a checklist or a single-discipline problem. Our work integrates human intelligence (HUMINT), behavioral and psychodynamic intelligence, counterintelligence tradecraft, and advanced technical OSINT/SOCMINT, Digital forensics and advanced surveillance and undercover operative placement capabilities into a coherent, defensible intelligence process.

Temple-Rubicon Intelligence Model

Our Operating Model

1. Intelligence Framing & Risk Definition

Every engagement begins with a disciplined intelligence-framing phase. We work with executive leadership and corporate counsel to define:

  • The intelligence question

  • The decision or exposure at stake

  • The operational, legal, and reputational boundaries

​

3. Intelligence Fusion & Validation

Collection alone is insufficient. Temple-Rubicon fuses behavioral, human, technical, and digital intelligence into a single analytic picture.

Key principles:

  • No single-source conclusions

  • Behavioral insight is always technically or operationally corroborated

  • Findings are stress-tested against alternative hypotheses

​

2. Full-Spectrum Intelligence Collection

Temple Risk Advisory deploys a full-spectrum intelligence framework, selecting only those capabilities required to answer the intelligence question at hand.

This may include:

  • Human Intelligence (HUMINT): Structured human-source engagement, behavioral observation, and influence-network analysis

  • Behavioral & Psychodynamic Intelligence: Assessment of motivation, defensive structures, relational dynamics, and leadership risk

  • OSINT & SOCMINT: Open-source and social intelligence to identify patterns, affiliations, and covert signaling

  • Digital Forensics: Technical validation, data compromise assessment, and evidentiary corroboration

  • Surveillance (when required): Sophisticated, multi-layered surveillance designed to obtain high-grade evidentiary material while leaving no operational footprint

  • TSCM: Advanced technical surveillance countermeasures integrated into a broader counterintelligence posture

  • Undercover Capability (selective): Highly controlled covert operations conducted only when intelligence objectives require it

 

4. Executive-Grade Intelligence Analysis

Our analysis focuses on intent, capability, opportunity, and impact — not speculation.

We assess:

  • Insider-threat vectors

  • Executive and leadership risk

  • Covert influence or compromise

  • Governance and decision-making vulnerabilities

  • Escalation pathways and mitigation options

​

5. Board-Ready Intelligence Reporting

Temple Risk Advisory intelligence products are designed for:

  • Boards of directors

  • Executive leadership

  • Private equity and investment committees

  • Corporate counsel

Reporting is:

  • Clear and non-sensational

  • Evidentiary and defensible

  • Action-oriented

  • Appropriate for legal and governance review

​

​This fusion process reduces false positives and ensures that intelligence withstands executive, board, and legal scrutiny.

All collection is conducted legally, ethically, and with strict operational discipline.

We focus on what leadership needs to know, why it matters, and what options exist.

Psychodynamic intelligence is applied as an analytic lens, never as a clinical exercise, and always within an intelligence framework.

This ensures that intelligence collection is purposeful, proportionate, and aligned with governance and enterprise-risk priorities.

When Temple Risk Advisory Is Engaged

Organizations engage Temple Risk Advisory when:

  • Risk is subtle, internal, or deliberately concealed

  • Executive or board-level exposure is material

  • Conventional controls have reached their limits

  • Discretion and intelligence tradecraft are essential

 

We are not designed for routine, commoditized investigative or consulting work. Engagements begin with a confidential consultation to assess suitability, scope, and risk. Due to the sensitive nature of our work, Temple-Rubicon operates on a selective engagement basis.
