SONIC
Surveillance Operations Network for Intelligence on Cybercrime
SONIC is Evaluris's operations unit for lawful, cybercrime-focused intelligence: monitoring relevant criminal infrastructure and abuse patterns so organizations and law enforcement partners can disrupt threats earlier, with clear rules, proportionality, and respect for privacy and jurisdiction.
Intelligence-led defense: understand how the cybercrime ecosystem moves before it lands on your balance sheet.
Why SONIC exists
Cybercrime scales faster than manual triage alone. Fraud ecosystems, ransomware affiliates, and commodity abuse leave signals in the open, when collection and analysis stay lawful and proportionate. SONIC exists to turn those signals into actionable intelligence for defenders and structured cooperation with authorities, without vague fear-mongering.
What SONIC does
Intelligence services scoped to cybercrime risk and your legal constraints
Threat landscape monitoring
Ongoing analysis of cybercrime-relevant signals, criminal infrastructure, abuse ecosystems, and campaign tradecraft, scoped to your risk profile and legal constraints.
Early warning & prioritization
Intelligence translated into defensive action: what to block, what to hunt, what to escalate, and what to deprioritize so teams focus on material risk.
Authority-aligned cooperation
Structured, lawful support when incidents cross into criminal conduct: evidence timelines, technical context, and referrals, as directed by your legal counsel and policy.
Victim-centric framing
Emphasis on reducing harm and supporting resilience, clear reporting for leadership without sensationalism or vague fear-mongering.
SONIC · Identity Intelligence
Identity intelligence for high-stakes decisions
KYC · KYB · AML · blockchain forensics · enhanced background due diligence
Financial crime, fraud, and corporate risk often hinge on identity, real, synthetic, or deliberately obscured. SONIC's identity intelligence unit supports regulated and high-risk decisions with verified findings on individuals, entities, and on-chain actors, within agreed scope and applicable law.
Know your customer. Know your business.
Due diligence that goes beyond checkbox screening: sanctions and PEP exposure, adverse media, beneficial ownership, and corporate structure analysis where automated tools stop short.
- Identity and entity verification within mandate scope
- Sanctions, PEP, and watchlist screening (global and regional lists)
- Beneficial ownership and control mapping
- Registration, licensing, and affiliated-structure review
Financial intelligence, traditional and on-chain
We trace value movement, map counterparties, and document findings for compliance, legal, and executive review.
- Transaction and relationship pattern analysis
- Cross-border fund-flow reconstruction
- On-chain tracing, wallet clustering, and VASP attribution
- Mixer, bridge, and DeFi exposure analysis where in scope
- Reports structured for internal review and regulatory workflows
Enhanced background investigations
Structured investigations combining documentary research, multi-source verification, and authorized collection, delivered under formal rules of engagement.
- Identity, alias, and credential verification
- Criminal, civil, regulatory, and insolvency record research
- Employment and professional standing checks where authorized
- Adverse media and digital footprint review within legal boundaries
Work is scoped to client authorization and applicable law (including GDPR, UAE PDPL, and US privacy requirements where relevant). AML deliverables align with FATF-aligned frameworks in each jurisdiction.
Confidential mandate review
Available to financial institutions, law firms, corporate security, and compliance teams. All engagements are subject to conflict review and scoping before work begins.
How SONIC works with authorities
SONIC does not replace police, regulators, or courts. It complements them: Evaluris can help organizations prepare intelligence products, document facts, and coordinate lawful referrals when a matter meets the threshold for government involvement.
Every jurisdiction differs. Your legal team defines what can be shared, when, and with whom. SONIC operates within those boundaries, not ahead of them.
Lawful use, privacy, and boundaries
SONIC activities are conducted only for legitimate security and intelligence purposes under contract, applicable law, and your internal policies. Evaluris does not conduct unauthorized monitoring of individuals, does not support stalking or harassment, and does not facilitate unlawful access to systems or data.
Customers remain responsible for lawful collection, retention, and sharing of information, including obtaining required authorizations where monitoring or intelligence gathering could implicate privacy, employment, or telecommunications rules.
If a collection method or sharing path is unclear, pause and resolve it with legal counsel before proceeding.
Who it is for
- Security and risk leadership needing repeatable intelligence inputs for decisions
- Incident response and detection teams integrating cybercrime context into hunts
- Fraud and financial crime functions facing targeted abuse and scams
