What Sovereign Intelligence, LLC does

Sovereign Intelligence, LLC is a privately held, British-funded software company headquartered in McLean, Virginia (Delaware-registered), with regional offices in London and Tokyo. Founded in 2014 by Mark Johnson, a former US clandestine intelligence officer and attorney, the company builds Aurora, an Intelligence-as-a-Service platform that fuses GEOINT, SIGINT, OSINT, HUMINT, and cyber threat intelligence data streams for national security, law enforcement, public safety, and commercial enterprise buyers. The platform centers on a proprietary token-free byte-level AI architecture (distinct from token-based transformer models), a Global Collection Network ingesting structured and unstructured intelligence at reported scale (16 billion daily geolocations, 10,000+ unique data sets across 25 countries), and a relationship-weighted multidimensional visualization layer called Contextual Gravity.

The product portfolio is structured as a core SaaS platform (Aurora:IaaS) with modular add-ons: Aurora:GeoStudio for geospatial analysis, Aurora:GeoCanvass for digital canvassing, Aurora:GeoRunDown for pattern-of-life analysis, and the Aurora:GeoLocation API layer. Aurora is sold on a subscription/recurring SaaS and licensing basis, deployed exclusively through OEM partners rather than directly to agencies, and delivered via REST APIs that embed inside public-safety video, security, investigative, mapping, and intelligence dashboard platforms. Pricing is quote-based with no public list, and all engagement begins with discovery or proof-of-concept conversations ([email protected] for government, [email protected] for commercial).

Revenue mechanics layer platform subscriptions on top of OEM licensing and intelligence data subscriptions; the company holds a CERT Authorized User designation from Carnegie Mellon SEI, maintains four registered brand identities (Aurora, Aurora:GeoLocation, Contextual Gravity, EyeRIS), and operates with a small leadership team of roughly 10–15 named members across engineering, product, data science, and regional MD roles in the US, UK, and Japan.
