Illuminating Hidden Supply
Chain Threats

ChainSentry is more than software - it’s a force multiplier for national security. By illuminating hidden gray market channels, ChainSentry delivers actionable intelligence that enables authorities to act decisively - ensuring sensitive technologies stay out of adversaries’ arsenals, disrupting illicit supply networks, and closing critical security gaps.

Gray Markets – An Overlooked
Security Vulnerability

Unseen
Proliferation

U.S. export-controlled microelectronics and dual-use components are ending up in adversary weapons through unauthorized gray market channels.

Uncontrolled Distribution

Online marketplaces enable unauthorized sales of sensitive U.S. technology, placing advanced components directly into adversaries' hands.

Critical Intelligence Gaps

Legacy export controls and tracking methods fail to detect illicit gray market transactions, creating dangerous blind spots in national security intelligence.

Threat Magnitude

In one analysis, 94% of U.S. dual-use components used in Iran’s Shahed drone were openly sold on popular e-commerce marketplaces.

“I had not even considered the gray marketplace for what we are doing until we heard of ChainSentry. It was like, holy smokes, we’re missing an entire aspect of the supply chain.”

Illuminating the Invisible

  • Challenge: Legacy methods like export controls and shipment monitoring missed the vast scale of unauthorized transactions occurring on global marketplaces. U.S. components were appearing in foreign weapons systems - undetected.
  • Solution: ChainSentry’s specialized platform brought clarity from chaos. Continuous monitoring and structured intelligence gave analysts actionable data for deep investigations.
  • Impact: Monthly intelligence deliverables now shape national security strategies. Tasks that took days or weeks now take minutes. Visibility has expanded, investigations strengthened, and teams are empowered.

“ChainSentry is doing something that no one else is — and it’s hugely important.”

Key Metrics & Differentiators

20,000+ gray market entities tracked across 75,000+ web domains

 

Only dedicated platform focused on forensic market intelligence

Proprietary database identifying 300+ weapons systems and their key U.S/Western components

Approximately 25,000 listings found monthly for every 100 dual-use parts monitored

ChainSentry illuminates the gray market supply chain, its flow, and the
availability of dual use components either restricted or unrestricted and how those can be bought and sold. Without it, we had no visibility into this problem.”

Due Diligence & Regulatory Review

Support government procurement officials and defense contractors in vetting suppliers and partners by exposing unauthorized sales and other hidden risks. Improve accuracy and depth of export license reviews by identifying high-risk or illicit entities concealed in the supply chain.

Actionable Intelligence That Drives Results

  • Rapid Threat Detection: Faster response to breaches in supply chain integrity.
  • Enhanced Policy and Enforcement: Data-driven insights inform policy development and enforcement strategies.
  • Expanded Investigative Reach: Structured intelligence helps reveal hidden trends and patterns. 

ChainSentry is a Game-Changer

ChainSentry is the world’s only dedicated solution for forensic gray market intelligence, purpose-built to address high-stakes national security challenges. Our platform continuously evolves to meet emerging threats and supports those on the front lines with the intelligence they need to act.

“The job is to highlight where these components are being sold on the gray market, where they’re available across the globe to buy, procure, purchase, and obtain. Those are the things we’re interested in stopping.”
