OUR APPROACH

Watchful, by name
and by practice.

Matajaga — Bahasa Indonesia for "watchful eye." A name we have to earn before each engagement, and again after. Our work begins where rumor ends and the record begins: licensed databases, court archives, sanctions lists, the people who knew the subject before they were a subject.

We are deliberately small. We do not subcontract sensitive work. Every report carries the name of the analyst who wrote it.

01 — Lawful

Public registries, court records, and licensed commercial sources. Never grey-channel data, never social engineering.

02 — Discreet

Encrypted delivery. Compartmented teams. 90-day post-engagement purge unless contractually retained.

03 — Accountable

Every finding is sourced and citable. We are governed by UU PDP 27/2022 and aligned to international standards.

PRACTICE AREAS

Ten disciplines.
One standard of care.

WHY IT MATTERS

The cost of overlooked risk.

Most failures are not the result of unknown threats. They are the result of known risks that no one was paid to ask about — at the right time, in the right detail. We are paid to ask.
