BEHIND EVERY STRATEGIC
OUTCOME IS INTELLIGENCE
YOU NEVER SEE
Temple Risk Advisory is a premier Ottawa Headquarted internationally scoped Corporate Intelligence,
Counter-Intelligence & Investigation firm
Temple Rubicon Advisory is a boutique private corporate intelligence, counterintelligence and investigations firm with a deliberate Human Intelligence (HUMINT) specialization, concentrating on the human element of risk - insider espionage, institutional betrayal, covert influence and trust exploitation - while integrating the classic counterintelligence investigative and analytical disciplines into a unified, asymmetric, HUMINT-driven approach.
We conduct discreet intelligence operations and forensically driven counterintelligence investigations for corporations, law firms, government bodies and select private clients, supporting boards of directors, general counsel, risk committees and senior security leadership when threats are subtle, sensitive and embedded within trusted environments, and where conventional compliance, cybersecurity and audit mechanisms are insufficient on their own.
Through the Rubicon Insights Group, the firm further provides highly select consultation and training programs in corporate counterintelligence, insider threat, espionage and clinical security leadership. Temple Rubicon Advisory is headquartered in Ottawa and licensed by the Government of Ontario as a private investigation firm.
Trusted. Invisible. Decisive.
OUR OPERATING PHILOSOPHY
HUMINT-Led Multidisciplinary Asymmetric
Temple Risk Advisory operates on the premise that the most consequential corporate threats are human in origin and strategic in nature. Technology, policy, and controls are necessary - but they are rarely sufficient when risk manifests through deception, allegiance shifts, coercion, grievance, or covert collaboration
We are a HUMINT specialty firm. Human intelligence is the organizing discipline around which all other intelligence capabilities are integrated. Our approach is intentionally asymmetric: we use technical, OSINT/SOCMINT, forensic digital, financial, and Forensic-Operational Behavioral science methods and intelligence grade Private invesigations to support and cue human judgment, not replace it.
specialised practice
Defence & National Security
Corporate strategic intelligence, counterintelligence and risk advisory across Canada and within NATO and Five Eyes security environments.
WHERE WE CONCENTRATE
Defence Contractors
Tier-one and specialized subcontractors
Aerospace and defence-technology companies
Dual-use technology developers
Defence start-ups and scale-ups
Space and satellite companies
Artificial intelligence and autonomous-systems enterprises
Strategic research and development organizations
Secure communications companies
Quantum and advanced-computing enterprises
Critical and strategically important technology companies
These organizations occupy a distinctive position.
Their products, technologies, research, intellectual property, personnel and commercial relationships may simultaneously represent corporate assets and elements
of national capability.
That makes them potential targets for hostile intelligence services, state-directed competitors, organized criminal entities and ideologically motivated groups.
The threat may involve espionage, insider compromise, covert influence, technology acquisition, sabotage, targeting of personnel, supply-chain penetration or the exploitation of trusted relationships.
CAPABILITY IS SELECTED BY REQUIREMENT

THE SAME DISCIPLINE. MORE WIDELY
Although our specialist practice is concentrated on defence and national-security enterprises, the underlying counterintelligence discipline applies wherever an organization possesses information, technology, relationships or capabilities worth acquiring.
Pharmaceuticals and life sciences / Energy and critical minerals / Telecommunications / Financial services /
Advanced manufacturing / Artificial intelligence and emerging technology / Strategic research organizations /
Major transactions / High-value litigation / Other strategically important enterprises
Foreign intelligence services, competitors, criminal organizations and opportunistic insiders may employ different methods, but the underlying objective remains similar: gain access to something valuable.
We show how that access could occur — and where it can be disrupted.
