In their view, Ukraine has now developed a somewhat chaotic and decentralised system of information concealment that poses more risks than it provides real protection. The sudden disappearance of data from open registries effectively \u201chighlights\u201d defence companies for the enemy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>This is not the only compliance and security challenge facing Ukraine\u2019s defence sector. Using real cases, YouControl analysts demonstrate how open-data-based tools can help prevent financial and reputational risks, information leaks, and exposure of sensitive data to hostile actors.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, Ukraine\u2019s defence-industrial complex is demonstrating a pace of development that has drawn the attention of global analysts and investors. <a href=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/en\/2026\/04\/ukrainian-defense-technology-market\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Research<\/a> by KSE Institute, conducted in cooperation with Brave1 and Defence Builder, shows that Ukraine\u2019s defence tech market reached approximately $6.8 billion in 2025. The most notable growth came in high-tech segments: UAV production (+137%), ground robotic systems (+488%), and EW systems (+215%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rapid progress of the defence sector has made transparency of ownership structures among manufacturers a critical issue. Professional compliance is becoming an essential operational standard, with the reputational \u201ccleanliness\u201d of partners becoming as strategic an asset as the technologies themselves. The expansion of the ecosystem through new contracts and investments creates additional channels for hidden hostile influence or technology leaks, requiring businesses to move beyond intuitive trust toward deep verification of every link in the supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 1257, adopted in 2025, which allows defence companies to restrict access to their data, has created additional barriers for KYC\/AML procedures and the attraction of international capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To scale the sector and establish joint ventures with Western partners, a hybrid compliance model is required in which automated OSINT analytics ensures UBO verification and sanctions resilience despite restricted access to state registries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The transparency paradox: data closure as an additional compliance and security challenge<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rapid expansion of the defence sector is being accompanied by radical but often inconsistent changes in state open data policy. Ukraine has now developed a somewhat chaotic and decentralised information concealment system \u2014 one that creates more risks than actual protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the level of individual business initiatives, selective depublication is taking place. Under Cabinet of Ministers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kmu.gov.ua\/npas\/pro-zatverdzhennia-poriadku-tymchasovoho-obmezhennia-dostupu-do-informatsii-s1257031025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Resolution No. 1257<\/a> dated 3 October 2025, defence companies were granted the right to independently choose which electronic information resources should restrict access to their data. More than 250 companies have already used this mechanism by sending official requests to the Ministry of Defence to temporarily limit access to information in their YouControl profiles. At the same time, YouControl analysts found that information about these companies remains publicly accessible through a number of other resources. Such an approach appears inconsistent and dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the level of systemic legislative \u201cblackouts\u201d of registries, the situation is becoming more complicated due to the following processes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Unified State Register of Legal Entities, Individual Entrepreneurs and Public Organisations remains only partially open. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/zakon.rada.gov.ua\/laws\/show\/4576-20#Text\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Law No. 4576-IX<\/a>, defence companies are entitled to register contact addresses instead of actual locations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Since 18 November 2025, the State Register of Property Rights, under <a href=\"https:\/\/zakon.rada.gov.ua\/laws\/show\/4576-20#Text\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Law No. 4576-IX<\/a>, has restricted access to cadastral numbers related to property rights and encumbrances, as well as property addresses down to the settlement level. According to information published on the official website of <a href=\"https:\/\/nais.gov.ua\/article\/uvaga-vneseni-zmini-do-servisnoi-poslugi-u-formi-ari-drrp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">the National Information Systems state enterprise<\/a>, an exception is made only for banks, which receive access under service agreements with the technical administrator. This creates an information gap: banks can see the data, while investors and partners are left with \u201cblank spots\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite intentions to protect the defence-industrial complex, such fragmented and inconsistent depublication creates a \u201cbeacon effect\u201d: Russian intelligence can identify priority targets by comparing archived and current databases. The sudden disappearance of a company from YouControl, while its data remains visible in less popular registries or archived versions of the state register, becomes a direct marker of strategic importance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-align-left wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/en\/2025\/12\/denying-access-youcontrol\/\"><strong>Read more:<\/strong> YouControl warns against mass removal of public data on defence companies<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to security risks, data closure creates several operational challenges:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Property opacity and raiding risks<\/strong>. Restricted access to the State Register of Property Rights (since 18 November 2025), where property addresses are hidden at the administrative-unit level, makes it impossible to verify a counterparty\u2019s assets, increasing corruption risks and the threat of covert property seizures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Financing barriers<\/strong>. For international investors, the \u201cinvisibility\u201d of a company makes KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) procedures impossible or significantly more difficult, resulting in refusals to cooperate and blocked currency transactions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Loss of budget oversight<\/strong>. The absence of public information eliminates journalistic and public oversight over the use of state funds in the sector.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Restrictions on access to public registries in Ukraine do not eliminate the need for deep compliance \u2014 on the contrary, they transform it into a complex analytical challenge. In an environment of closed or \u201cmasked\u201d data, standard due diligence becomes impossible, requiring the use of professional OSINT tools. Only solutions capable of working with historical archives, indirect links and international databases can verify partners in a \u201csemi-closed\u201d information environment where direct evidence may be hidden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Strategic \u0441ompliance: From OSINT \u0448ntelligence to systemic automation<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the context of hybrid warfare, traditional auditing is no longer sufficient: identifying hidden affiliations concealed within \u201cmatryoshka-style\u201d structures has become a priority. Deep verification of ultimate beneficial owners (UBOs) creates three key safeguards: financial hygiene (blocking aggressor-linked money flows), technological resilience (protecting developments from leaks), and global compliance necessary for cooperation with Western partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the professional compliance environment, partner reliability is never determined by a single indicator \u2014 it is always the result of intersecting legal, financial, sanctions and reputational data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Key areas of OSINT analysis using YouControl solutions<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Initial screening and sanctions control through automated checks<\/strong> across more than 600 due diligence factors on the <a href=\"https:\/\/youcontrol.com.ua\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">YouControl<\/a> platform. The system provides continuous monitoring of international sanctions, PEP (Politically Exposed Person) statuses and their associates (LIPs). The \u201cExpress Analysis\u201d feature instantly identifies more than 10 types of potential links to the aggressor state that may be hidden within complex ownership structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additional tools for checking individuals help companies make informed hiring decisions, which is critically important for defence firms. Through name-based matching, the system aggregates data from state registries that may indicate links, debts, court cases or political exposure. This allows key due diligence factors to be assessed quickly using public data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Case 2025.4.2.4 (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fiu.gov.ua\/pages\/dijalnist\/tipologi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">State Financial Monitoring Service Typology Studies<\/a>): The use of the A7A5 stablecoin and the Garantex exchange to circumvent international sanctions.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As described in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.info-res.org\/reports\/a7a5-circumventing-sanctions-with-stablecoin-cryptocurrency\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">the Centre for Information Resilience report<\/a> from June 2025, A7A5 \u2014 a stablecoin backed by the Russian rouble \u2014 was created by A7 LLC, which helps Russian businesses affected by Western sanctions conduct cross-border payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elliptic.co\/blog\/the-rise-of-a7a5-the-ruble-stablecoin-now-transfers-1-billion-per-day?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Elliptic<\/a>, A7 was founded by Ilan Shor, who was convicted in 2017 for crimes linked to the theft of $1 billion from three Moldovan banks in 2014.

This case demonstrates that traditional auditing focused only on direct counterparties is incapable of identifying complex transit chains. For the defence sector, this means cross-border analysis capable of tracking dual-use goods through intermediaries in third countries is now essential to prevent technological support for the aggressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Behavioural auditing and reputational resilience<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Behavioural auditing through court records allows companies to reconstruct counterparties\u2019 business histories based on approximately 100 million documents. The system provides access to \u201carchival traces\u201d \u2014 court rulings involving corruption disputes or criminal proceedings that may have been deleted from official registries but remain preserved in the database as evidence of a company\u2019s real background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, media monitoring helps identify reputational signals such as scandals or investigative reports before they evolve into lawsuits. ESG compliance assessments are also becoming mandatory. ESG has become a marker of sustainable development and effectively a \u201cticket of entry\u201d for cooperation with Western defence companies and international investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Particular attention must also be paid to the dynamic nature of the sanctions landscape. Since assets are often transferred to affiliated individuals immediately after sanctions are imposed, analysing only current sanctions lists creates a false sense of security. Only the combination of historical ownership-change data and \u043e\u043f\u0435\u0440\u0430\u0442\u0438\u0432\u0435 analytics allows the identification of attempts to urgently replace owners and guarantees full compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultimately, any analytical architecture requires qualified management. To address this, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youcontrol.events\/yc-defence-program\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">YouControl has implemented a specialised support programme<\/a> already covering more than 100 defence enterprises and military structures. Through training, defence-sector specialists learn OSINT intelligence methods, enabling companies to establish their own in-house risk-management competence centres under wartime conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Data transparency as a strategic asset for the defence sector<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Ukraine\u2019s defence technology market, currently undergoing rapid capitalisation and integration into global supply chains, professional compliance has ceased to be merely a legal formality. Under current conditions, it has become a critical element of business survival and scaling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through systematic open-data-based analysis, three fundamental objectives can be achieved:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Protection of production cycles from hostile capital infiltration, hidden aggressor influence and industrial espionage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trust from international partners and funds, for whom transparent ownership structures and clean reputations are baseline requirements for providing technology or capital.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compliance with high security standards, opening access to state preferences and special regimes such as Defence City.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Transparency in the defence-industrial sector does not mean exposing sensitive data \u2014 it means creating a verified ecosystem where every counterparty is checked and every risk identified in advance. OSINT analysis tools are becoming the \u201cdigital armour\u201d that allows Ukrainian defence tech not only to expand production capacity, but also to remain resilient against hybrid threats over the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-align-left wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/en\/insights\/drone-ip-basics-for-developers\/\"><strong>Drones as intellectual property objects: <\/strong>what developers need to know.
