Sibylline Ltd

What Sibylline Ltd does

Sibylline Ltd is a UK-headquartered strategic risk consultancy founded in 2010 by Justin Crump, a former British Army officer, delivering geopolitical intelligence, embedded risk advisory, and security consulting to large multinational clients. The firm serves more than 10% of the Fortune 500, 11% of the FTSE 100, and a broader base of 250+ corporations plus governments, international NGOs, and defence clients across manufacturing, healthcare, FinTech, technology, and consumer electronics. Its core technology comprises two proprietary platforms: ASTRA, a geospatial/risk intelligence platform offering country risk cards, local risk indicators, sub-national risk assessments, and a GDPR-hosted API; and the World Risk Register (WRR), a subscription-based flagship intelligence service providing daily geopolitical monitoring, scenario planning, and early-warning indicators.

The firm's commercial model is dominated by Embedded Services — dedicated Sibylline analysts placed inside client security operations centres and supported by the wider bench — which represents 85% of overseas trade and yields multi-year recurring revenue. This is complemented by subscription access to WRR and ASTRA (standard tier up to 15 users), Access-to-Analyst (A2A) consultations, a premium Executive Insights Program (closed-door briefings, proprietary data models, 1:1 executive access), plus discrete professional services in consulting, training (GSOC capability build), bespoke solutions, and business intelligence investigations. Distribution is enterprise field sales from five regional hubs (London, Singapore, Washington D.C., Brazil, Dublin) with embedded operational presence across multiple US cities, Sydney, Hong Kong, and Mexico City.

Sibylline has been bootstrapped throughout, achieving 370% growth in international sales over 2021–2023 (international revenue from £8.1M to £38.1M; overseas clients ~85% of total), with headcount scaling from roughly 275 to ~500 professionals. The company received the King's Award for Enterprise in International Trade in May 2025, the same year it announced planned expansion into India and Australia, reflecting continued offensive growth strategy funded entirely through reinvestment rather than external capital.
