Janes operates a curated OSINT platform serving defence and intelligence agencies with validated military data spanning equipment specifications, geolocation, orders of battle, and risk analysis across 197 countries. The company's hiring pivot—accelerating sales and marketing roles while maintaining parallel security infrastructure work (ISO 27001, penetration testing, supply-chain risk assessment)—reflects simultaneous moves into new markets (US and Americas expansion) and hardened compliance posture, common when legacy defence contractors scale distribution.
Janes is a UK-headquartered defence intelligence platform founded in 1898 and now serving militaries, governments, and defence industry customers globally. The product aggregates millions of open-source data points—military equipment catalogs (85,000+ items), installation geolocation databases (28,000 sites), event graphs (800,000 linked records), and country-level PMESII reports—all verified by subject-matter experts and formatted for operational sharing. The company operates from Croydon, Surrey, with a 501–1,000 person workforce split across product, sales, security, and design functions.
Janes uses Azure and AWS for cloud infrastructure, Microsoft 365 for productivity, HubSpot for sales operations, and security tools including Microsoft Defender, Tenable, and Nessus. Design workflows run on Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) and Figma.
Janes is actively pursuing ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials compliance, conducting third-party penetration testing, performing supplier security assessments, and enhancing technical security controls—consistent with defence-sector customer requirements.
