About D-Shield

An investigative firm for decisions that are hard to undo.

D-Shield is a corporate integrity and risk intelligence firm. We trace beneficial ownership, effective control and the money between companies, and report what we find with the source behind every finding.

What we look at.

Beneficial ownership, financial relationships, political exposure and corporate affiliations, including possible links to fraud, corruption, sanctions breaches and organized crime. Technology gives the work its scale; experienced analysts confirm what the findings mean.

We protect companies from financial crime, fraud and hidden relationships that threaten business integrity, financial security and long-term growth.

How we hold ourselves to account

Principles we work by.

  • Past the First Tier

    We follow ownership, control and payments past the counterparty in front of you.

  • Confirmed Evidence

    Every finding is documented and tied to a primary source.

  • Expert-Led

    Experienced analysts confirm all findings.

  • Global View

    Expert systems map networks across borders, online and off.

  • Fair to the People We Name

    Appearing in a network is not wrongdoing. People are named with identifiers and sources, and reports are kept apart from established facts.
