A leading international manufacturer with significant operations in Ukraine and Eastern Europe needed to monitor rising geopolitical tensions with Russia.

• Information Overload: The client was inundated with vast amounts of information, much of which was irrelevant to their specific operational needs.
• Skill Gaps: The client’s intelligence analysts, though proficient in open-source intelligence (OSINT), lacked the specialised knowledge, technical expertise, and linguistic capabilities required to effectively monitor developments in Ukraine.

Sibylline provided tailored tactical monitoring reports via the World Risk Register (WRR,our flagship subscription-based intelligence service). In early January 2022, our WRR reporting indicated a likely Russian invasion. Using this intelligence, the client consulted with Sibylline analysts to prepare for various scenarios.

As the invasion unfolded on February 24, 2022, the client was prepared to execute safety measures that had been carefully planned and rehearsed. These measures included the successful evacuation of all Ukraine-based staff from multiple production sites. The actionable intelligence provided by Sibylline’s WRR and the consultation with analysts ensured that the client’s response was timely and well-coordinated, minimising disruptions to their operations and safeguarding their employees.

Sibylline’s World Risk Register and expert analytical support proved critical in enabling the client to anticipate and effectively respond to a major geopolitical crisis. This case demonstrates the value of tailored, actionable intelligence in helping businesses navigate complex risk environments, prioritise employee safety, and protect operational continuity in uncertain times.
