Why Sintra

Where a standard check stops, we keep going.

A judgment, not a data dump. You get a clear read on the risk and a recommendation you can act on.

Across borders. We follow a subject through every country they operate in, not just the one in front of you.

Sized to the decision. A single background check or a full pre-acquisition review, priced to match.

Run by practitioners. A Swiss-Canadian team drawn from government, intelligence, and university administration.

Method

OSINT only. Sourced. Defensible.

Every finding is supported by a citable source. We separate sourced fact from inference and label our confidence. A null result is reported as a finding, never padded, and we never fabricate a case, filing, or record. Our work is built to hold up to a client, a lawyer, or a regulator.
