Welcome Everyone.
Protect Everyone.
SafeHOWs brings enterprise-grade threat intelligence to houses of worship — helping communities deter threats, defend their congregations, and maintain the welcoming spirit that defines them.
Security Through Intelligence
The same threat intelligence that protects government buildings and critical infrastructure — now accessible to your community.
Deter
Knowledge is the first line of defense. Understanding who poses a threat allows communities to take proactive measures before incidents occur.
Detect
Multi-source intelligence correlation identifies threats that single-source systems miss. When multiple independent sources agree, confidence increases.
Defend
Actionable intelligence empowers security teams and leadership to make informed decisions — protecting congregations while preserving their welcoming nature.
Multi-Source Threat Intelligence
We aggregate and correlate data from open-source intelligence (OSINT) and authoritative government sources worldwide.
Why Multi-Source Matters
No single intelligence source tells the complete story. A person flagged by one agency might appear on multiple international watchlists — or might be a false positive. By correlating across sources, we increase confidence in true threats while reducing false alarms.
When the UN Security Council, the US Treasury Department, and the EU consolidated list all identify the same individual, that's a high-confidence threat. When only one obscure source flags someone with a common name, that warrants caution but not alarm. Today more than 130,000 of our records — over a third — are corroborated by more than one independent source.
Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT)
We leverage publicly available threat data drawn from more than 160 upstream datasets across dozens of jurisdictions — national sanctions regimes, financial-crime registers, debarment lists and curated open records. Open-source intelligence provides breadth of coverage that no single government agency can match, while remaining legally accessible and shareable.
Authoritative Sources
Government sanctions lists, law enforcement databases, and international organization watchlists provide the authoritative foundation — among them OFAC, the UN Security Council consolidated list, the EU financial sanctions file, UK HM Treasury, and the FBI's wanted and seeking-information programs. These sources carry legal weight and represent official determinations by recognized authorities.
Collection runs on a daily cycle, and each record carries the date it was last updated. Sources differ in how current they are, so the application shows every source's status and the date it was last successfully retrieved — including sources that are inactive or no longer permit automated collection — rather than presenting the whole database as uniformly fresh.
The Value of Intelligence-Led Security
Moving from reactive to proactive protection.
Proactive, Not Reactive
Traditional security responds to incidents. Intelligence-led security identifies potential threats before they materialize, shifting the advantage to defenders.
Focused Resources
Limited security budgets go further when directed by intelligence. Know where to focus attention rather than treating every unknown as equal risk.
Preserve Community
Heavy-handed security changes the character of a house of worship. Intelligence allows targeted vigilance while maintaining the open, welcoming environment congregations expect.
