Defence & National Security
7 AI SkillsSovereign intelligence for the decisions that don't forgive mistakes.
Multi-source signals, adversarial networks, dual-use supply chains and export-control exposure — reasoned about in one place, deployed inside your perimeter, with an audit trail every board and inspector can follow.
For defence primes, MoDs, procurement agencies and authorized intelligence units.
The problem
What's broken today
The structural problems we solve.
Programmes span years and dozens of Tier-N suppliers, but supplier ownership shifts in weeks. Sanctions and export-control regimes move faster than the internal review cadence. Investigators still stitch evidence in slides. There is no consolidated, sovereign environment where all of this can be reasoned about together.
Capture intelligence on whiteboards
Competitive landscape, customer-country signals and stakeholder rotations live in capture leads' heads. When the lead changes, institutional context resets to zero.
Program risk surfaced after the milestone slips
Supplier financial deterioration, regulatory shifts and geopolitical events are visible months before they hit a milestone — but rarely routed to the program manager in time.
Sovereign requirements vs commercial AI
Most AI tools require data to flow into a US public cloud. For sensitive programs, that's a non-starter — and a reason teams default to spreadsheets.

How it works
From source to deliverable
From the systems you already run to the deck you hand over — one model in between.
The signal feed, live
Every source below lands in the same feed, already resolved onto the entity it belongs to — and carries where it came from.
- 01Programme & supplier data
- 02Sanctions & export-control lists
- 03Company registries, beneficial ownership & sub-tier supplier data
- 04OSINT
- 05Classified & controlled repositories
- 06Structured evidence
Programme & supplier data
ERP, PLM, MES, contract management
Sanctions & export-control lists
EU dual-use, US EAR/ITAR, national annexes
the list, the date, the matched name and the reason — deduplicated.
The resolved model
The raw name is resolved onto the modelled entity — subsidiaries, owners and links already attached — so a signal lands on something that already exists instead of opening a new record.
Reports, decks, spreadsheets, dashboards and alerts — finished, not drafts.

Named jobs, already scoped for this sector — each one runs on your model.
| Skill | Family | What it does | Output |
|---|---|---|---|
| Export Control Check | Trade & Supply Chain | Screens shipments against dual-use lists, end-user checks and jurisdictional restrictions — flagging risk before goods leave. | alertaudit |
| Sanctions Screening | Risk & Compliance | Screens counterparties and payments against EU, UN, OFAC and national lists — with explainable hits and lower false-positive rates. | alertaudit |
| Supplier Risk Radar | Trade & Supply Chain | Continuously monitors the supplier base for financial distress, sanctions, ESG events and single-source concentration. | dashboardalert |
| Counterparty Network Map | Trade & Supply Chain | Reveals hidden ownership chains, intermediaries and shared directors across a portfolio of counterparties. | graphbrief |

A concrete case
Defence & National Security
A Tier-4 supplier acquired overnight. Award frozen before contract signature.
Win rate on competed programs
+20% · Capture teams arrive with continuously enriched context on every stakeholder and competitor.
Earlier program-risk signal
3–6 mo · Supplier and geopolitical indicators reach the PM before the milestone slips.
A sub-component supplier changed ownership in a jurisdiction of concern between the technical evaluation and the contract award. Compass flagged the change within hours, reconstructed the new beneficial-owner chain, cross-referenced export-control regimes and produced a briefing pack. The award was frozen, an alternate qualified, and the programme protected from a post-facto sanctions incident.

Common questions
What defence leaders ask us first.
Yes. Compass runs in EU-based or on-prem deployments for sensitive programs. No data leaves your jurisdiction or control.
Compass operates strictly on the data your environment permits. Classified content is processed only inside the cleared deployment, with role-based permissions and full audit logging.
All three. Primes use it for capture and program risk; suppliers for opportunity and stakeholder visibility; program offices for end-to-end context across the supplier base.
