Nisos is a human risk intelligence company, founded in 2015 and headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, that combines analyst-led investigative tradecraft with an AI-assisted platform to help enterprises detect, investigate and mitigate threats that originate with people. Its Managed Intelligence services cover executive protection and digital exposure, employment and hiring fraud, insider threat, third-party and supply-chain intelligence, threat landscape assessment, OSINT monitoring and adversary attribution investigations, drawing on surface, deep and dark web collection. Its Ascend platform productizes that tradecraft for client-led use, shipping Executive Shield and Insider Threat Intelligence modules with continuous monitoring, PII removal, risk analytics and dashboard reporting. Nisos sells enterprise-only through a demo request; it publishes no developer portal, no API reference and no machine-readable contract, though the Ascend console does call a live, credential-gated external API host of its own.
