EWSRC accepts selected commissions from institutions that need an independent research answer to a specific strategic question. Commissioned work applies the same open-source, cross-sector and fully attributable method used in the published research — and helps sustain the open record.
How does your sector's threat picture actually compare to the fifteen next door? A benchmark built from The Observatory's enriched layer — severity scoring and actor extraction across all 4,328+ incidents — that no sector-siloed vendor can produce.
A standing research function scoped to your footprint, for less than half the fully loaded cost of a single senior analyst.
Original 30 to 70 page study on a threat or question. Scoped in days. Delivered under your imprint or EWSRC byline, shareable without the classification friction of platform intelligence.
Because commissioned work funds The Observatory, hiring EWSRC keeps the commons standing watch for everyone else. Data licensing lives at 16sectors.org; analysis lives here. License the enriched layer when your team will do the analysis — commission EWSRC when you need the answer.
EWSRC accepts commissions from organizations across all critical infrastructure sectors and Space Systems, with one exception: the Communications sector, where preexisting client relationships preclude new advisory engagements. Communications-sector research remains freely available through The Observatory and EWSRC’s published work.
Engagements are governed by a published conflict-of-interest standard. Read the independence statement.
