Intelligence Meets Discretion
Our analysts blend structured methodology with intelligence-grade capability to uncover risk, verify truth and reveal what standard checks often miss.
We provide the clarity required to support serious decisions through reporting crafted for precision, relevance and absolute discretion.

About William + Grey
Guided by clarity, built on discretion.
William + Grey is a boutique risk, compliance and intelligence firm built on precision, clarity and quiet confidence. We help platforms, family offices and private organisations make informed, high-trust decisions through structured due diligence, intelligent verification and clear, commercially-aligned reporting.
What sets us apart is the calibre of our intelligence capability. Behind the scenes, our work is supported by a small, highly specialised team of accredited analysts with backgrounds across Australia’s national security, defence and intelligence sectors. Their experience includes screening, online investigations, geolocation analysis, network mapping and structured risk assessment on complex projects for government, defence programs and high-stakes environments.
We translate that level of rigour into the commercial world, offering reporting that goes far beyond traditional tick-box compliance. Our frameworks are built around three core lenses:
Standard Due Diligence (SDD) — What’s true?
Verification
Hybrid Due Diligence (HDD) — What’s really going on?
Intelligence
Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) — What’s the full story?
Deep-dive investigations
Every assessment is tailored, discreet and delivered with a level of clarity our clients rely on. We don’t just present information, we interpret it, contextualise it and communicate it in a way that supports real decision-making.

Our Services
-
Standard Due Diligence (SDD)
What’s true?
(Verification)
Identity, documentation and foundational legitimacy checks.
SDD confirms whether the information presented is accurate, consistent and supported by evidence.
A fast, reliable baseline that shows you the truth at face value. -
Hybrid Due Diligence (HDD)
What’s really going on?
(Intelligence)
A deeper look beyond the surface using technology + human analysis.
HDD uncovers patterns, behaviours, inconsistencies, operational activity and early-risk indicators that basic verification can’t detect.
Perfect for moderate–higher risk clients where more clarity is needed. -
Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD)
What’s the full story?
(Investigation)
A comprehensive investigation into identity, behaviour, networks, history and intent.
EDD reveals the entire context behind a client — who they are, what they do and what it all means for your risk position.
Best for high-value, high-risk or cross-border onboarding.
