Remote Worker & Contractor Diligence
Organizations hire remote technical staff, contractors, and vendors. Some applicants are not who they claim to be. Cipher Cortex investigates identity, persona consistency, and risk indicators — including tradecraft associated with DPRK IT worker revenue operations when those indicators appear.
What a diligence review covers
- Identity and persona consistency across resumes, portfolios, and public profiles
- Technical footprint, location and time-zone signals, and infrastructure overlap
- Indicators consistent with front companies, shared hosting, or known remote-worker fraud patterns
- A written memo with risk indicators and hiring or vendor recommendations
Analysts may draw on an internal research corpus during these engagements. That corpus is not a public database, not a licensed feed, and not a product you can subscribe to. The engagement is the service.
Who it helps
Security teams, HR and talent, legal, fraud units, staffing platforms, and technology firms hiring remote engineers.
How to start
Send the applicant, contractor, or vendor concern. We will scope a fixed diligence review. See also the services overview.
