Open Briefing supports at-risk organisations and activists around the world with innovative safety, security and intelligence services.
We work with human rights defenders, local NGOs, independent journalists, environmental defenders, peacebuilders and others on the frontlines of civil society.
We help them achieve social and environmental change by ensuring their physical, digital and psychological security or through enhancing their campaigns with intelligence and research support.
