Know who you are dealing with. Before it matters.

We tell you who is really on the other side of a decision, the person you are about to hire, the company you are about to sign, the partner you are about to bring into your research.

Why Sintra

Where a standard check stops, we keep going.

01
A judgment, not a data dump. You get a clear read on the risk and a recommendation you can act on.
02
Across borders. We follow a subject through every country they operate in, not just the one in front of you.
03
Sized to the decision. A single background check or a full pre-acquisition review, priced to match.
04
Run by practitioners. A Swiss-Canadian team drawn from government, intelligence, and university administration.

How we work

The risk is in what you can't see.

Every major decision rests on people and companies you don't fully know. We close that gap, turning open information into a clear, sourced read on who you are really dealing with, before you commit.
