Ontic built the system of record for protective intelligence — cases, investigations, incidents, with serious compliance credentials including FedRAMP Moderate. Threatwhere builds the intelligence itself: grounded AI documentation on a live geospatial platform, with the operational layer attached.
Ontic’s public materials document AI summaries — of signals, incidents and investigations already in the system. Threatwhere’s capability is generation: eleven governed intelligence products, shaped by your organisation’s doctrine where supported, protected before release, and delivered into a permissioned workspace as branded documents.
What it takes to fill their column
The Ontic column spans Risk Intelligence, Incidents & Case Management and Executive Protection modules, an AlertMedia integration for notification, and an announced International SOS alliance for travel risk. Our column is one platform — Overwatch for the operations room, with an Operator licence for the field included in every Overwatch seat.
Quote-only, scoped per deployment. No third-party estimates found — and we won’t invent one.
$1,999 /seat/month — Overwatch
Every Overwatch seat includes an Operator licence for the field at no extra cost; standalone Operator seats from $199/month. $19,990/seat billed annually. Every number is on our public pricing page.

How you buy
Published pricing and a self-serve 7-day trial — sign up and start without a sales call. Overwatch $1,999/seat/month with an Operator licence included per seat; standalone Operator seats from $199/month.
None of the five vendors on these pages publishes a price; every one routes you to a sales conversation. Third-party buyer-reported estimates — not vendor list prices — show quote-only pricing varies materially by deployment and buyer: Everbridge estimates alone span roughly $15,000 to over $300,000 a year. When the range is that wide, the price is about you, not the product. source
These are the documented reasons Ontic belongs on a serious shortlist — from their own public materials. The matrix below shows where Threatwhere takes the operation further.
Protective intelligence pedigree: acquired SIGMA Threat Management Associates (2021); Dr. Marisa Randazzo leads its Center of Excellence and Fred Burton its Center for Protective Intelligence. source
Compliance: annual SOC 2 audits, FedRAMP Moderate Authorization, ISO 27001, CSA STAR, per-client isolated databases, 30-day post-contract deletion. source
Backing: a $230 million Series C led by KKR (August 2025) for its Connected Intelligence Platform. source
Analyst recognition: Growth and Innovation Leader in the Frost Radar for Risk Intelligence Solutions, three consecutive years. source
