About us
“In Russia there is about a score of reliable non-government structures somehow fitting the definition of “non-governmental intelligence”. Among them there is a handful of companies specializing in information gathering and processing, in contrast to mere protection practice, and engaging a lot of professional analysts from former Soviet KGB and Russian FSS. Perhaps, the major company of this kind is "Special Information Service"…"

Its sources are exceptional and its staff are skilled, creative, and careful; they work quickly and with the utmost integrity and discretion.

And S.I.S. dedicates itself to meeting deadlines and its other commitments to the client, including its eminently fair pricing.
