We are in the trust business.

Prae — pronounced "pre" — is Latin for "before." We help organizations detect human risk before something bad happens, and before it creates costs.

Built on Intelligence Community tradecraft

We are a team led by former U.S. Intelligence operators who brought operational tradecraft to private industry and battle-tested it there. We saw firsthand how threat actors weaponize publicly available information. So we took the attacker's playbook and flipped it around.

Prae blends data science, open-source intelligence (OSINT), and human psychology to turn public data into continuous, FICO-like risk ratings, without intrusive endpoint tools or access to sensitive HR data.

Protection, in plain language

We protect people. That means being trustworthy and direct: never scary, never stuffy. Clarity over fear: we show you what attackers see, first, so you can act before they do.

We don't scrub data or rewrite records. We measure exposure, grade it continuously, and deliver real red flags instead of noise, so the people responsible for protecting others can make decisions with a clear signal.

We share what we're building, what we're seeing in the public domain, and how to stay ahead of it.
