Ecosystem studies

A company’s documents rarely come out of its own systems. They come out through a supplier, a contractor or a customer. So we study a sector as a whole: the big companies and their suppliers together.

Each study takes one scenario, an attacker with a goal, and looks at what is already published. Each one ends with searches you can run on your own name.

What a study contains

  • The scenario: who could want the files, and why, one step causing the next.
  • What is already published: ratios and shares from our index, never a raw count about one company.
  • A map of the sector: the big companies and their suppliers. Suppliers are not named.
  • Searches to run on your own name, and what to do with the result.

Published studies

  • European aerospace: certification files

    Airbus, Dassault Aviation, Safran, Thales and their suppliers. What a foreign aircraft maker could look for.

In preparation

Other scenarios for European aerospace are being counted.

How we count

Every study follows the same rules. How we count, and the limits
