What International Risk Intelligence does

International Risk Intelligence LLC (operating as IRI Analytix) is a private professional services firm founded in 1988 by former U.S. and foreign government officials, providing cross-border business intelligence, corporate intelligence, security intelligence, and information management services. The firm is organized as a New Hampshire LLC with operations centralized in New London, NH and a New York office, employing 1–10 professionals. Core service areas are Corporate Intelligence (due diligence, competitive intelligence, investigations, forensic accounting, intellectual property protection, anti-money laundering), Security Intelligence (security culture, business and university security, crisis management, personal protection, counter-terrorism), Information Management (country and sovereign risk analysis, international marketplace intelligence, internet monitoring), and IRISeminar training and HSEEP-compliant exercises.

The firm's product portfolio rests on four proprietary platforms: e-Plus™, an internet-based e-learning system for security and corporate intelligence training; Alert Command System™, a customizable incident reporting, tracking, and crisis communications platform available as standalone or integrated subscription; COPE™ (Crisis Operations Planning and Education) for emergency preparedness, disaster recovery, and pandemic planning; and the ATM school security program (Avert, Thwart, Minimize). A Domestic Terrorist Tracking and Reporting System is offered as a niche specialty to clients in targeted industries. Technology differentiation is positioned as "Analysis Meets Technology," combining human expert analysis with proprietary software tools rather than AI/ML-driven automation.

The business model is primarily project-based professional services, with project budgets established per engagement scope and senior manager oversight included. Recurring revenue exists via the Alert Command System subscription and ongoing training programs. Go-to-market relies on direct enterprise field sales, professional referrals (law firms, accounting firms, consulting firms), and industry affiliations (SCIP, ASIS International). Customer segments span Fortune 1000 and multinational corporations, law firms, government and military entities (including embassies and trade missions), schools and universities, and private clients (celebrities, sports figures, high-net-worth individuals). Pricing is opaque and not publicly disclosed, but the firm offers unlimited no-obligation consultations and stands behind a no-charge-if-expectations-not-met policy.
