ICRM

Intelligence Collection Resource Management

Conundrum isn't quite like a typical Threat Intelligence Platform. It's better described as a new class of tooling: an ICRM platform — purpose-built around your Prioritised Intelligence Requirements, treating collection as a resource you direct and account for, not a firehose you subscribe to.

Why a TIP isn't enough

Traditional threat intelligence platforms are built around aggregation: more feeds, more indicators, more volume. The hard problems sit elsewhere.

Everyone gets the same feed

Generic feeds tell every subscriber the same thing. What matters to a regional bank is noise to a hospital — and without your priorities driving collection, most of what arrives is someone else's intelligence.

Volume isn't analysis

A million indicators answer no questions. Someone still has to turn raw collection into finished intelligence: what happened, who's behind it, whether it matters to you, and what to do about it.

Collection goes unmanaged

Feeds break, move, and go quiet — usually silently. When nobody manages sources as a resource, a dead feed becomes an invisible gap in your coverage that nobody notices until it matters.

The intelligence cycle, run as a product

ICRM operationalises the discipline intelligence teams have always used — requirements first, collection directed, analysis grounded, dissemination deliberate.

1. Requirements define everything

Your Priority Intelligence Requirements — the questions your organisation actually needs answered — drive what is collected, what is prioritised, and what is filtered out. Industry-specific PIR libraries get you started; your team refines from there.

2. Collection is directed, not subscribed

Continuous OSINT collection across curated sources, matched against your PIRs. Sources are chosen for your sector and requirements — and every source is monitored for health and reliability, so collection stays a resource you can account for.

3. Analysis answers your questions

Collected intelligence becomes finished reports — situation, assessment, recommendations — tied back to the PIRs they answer, with every factual claim traceable to its source. Not a wall of indicators; answers to the questions you asked.

4. Dissemination reaches the right people

Reports route to the teams and stakeholders who need them — by attack vector, by group, on their terms — with a logged trail of who was told what, and when. Intelligence that stays in a dashboard didn't happen.

The "Resource Management" is the point

A source count is easy to put on a slide. Keeping those sources actually flowing — and knowing when they aren't — is the harder part, and it's what separates managed collection from a subscription.

Sources break. We notice.

Feeds move, change format, or go quiet. Conundrum monitors the health of every collection source and flags degradation — so a silently broken feed never becomes a silent gap in your intelligence.

Coverage you can audit

Because collection is driven by dated, reviewable PIRs, you can always show what you prioritised, what was collected against it, and what was reported — the traceable trail regulators and auditors ask for.
