Ethics & Compliance

Integrity is part of the advice.


Security and defense programs involve public money, sensitive information and powerful technologies. Our clients need to know that the advice they receive is lawful, independent and clean.

Our standards

The principles behind every SecuFense engagement.

These standards apply to our consultants, representatives and partners in every country where we work.

Anti-bribery & anti-corruption

SecuFense does not offer, pay, solicit or accept bribes, facilitation payments or improper advantages of any kind, directly or through others. Gifts and hospitality must be modest, transparent and never linked to a decision. We expect the same of every partner and representative who works with us.

Export control & sanctions

Many security and defense technologies are controlled. Defense-related work is advisory only and handled at capability-category level. We screen engagements against applicable export-control and sanctions regimes and do not take part in transactions that would breach them.

Conflicts of interest & disclosure

Where we represent a manufacturer, we tell clients before advice is given. We never act for a buyer and a supplier in the same procurement, and we decline mandates where a conflict cannot be managed properly.

Confidentiality & information handling

Client information is shared on a need-to-know basis, protected in transit and at rest, and returned or destroyed at the end of an engagement on request. We sign non-disclosure agreements where appropriate and respect national classification rules.

Partner & third-party due diligence

Before working with an integrator, representative or supplier, we check ownership, reputation, sanctions exposure and compliance practices, and we include clear compliance obligations in our agreements.

Responsible use of technology

Surveillance, screening and AI-enabled systems affect people's rights. We encourage proportionate, lawful use, privacy by design and human oversight, and we will not support projects aimed at unlawful repression.

Fair procurement

When we help authorities prepare tenders, we aim for specifications that invite genuine competition. When we support bidders, we respect procurement rules and the confidentiality of the process.

Accountability & review

These commitments apply to everyone who works for or with SecuFense. We review them regularly as laws and good practice evolve.
