Very Digital Audit

1. Executive Intelligence Summary

This Technographic Audit constitutes a forensic examination of The Very Group’s digital infrastructure, capital structure, and supply chain dependencies. The objective is to determine the entity’s “Digital Complicity Score” by identifying material and ideological support for systems of occupation, surveillance, and militarisation associated with the State of Israel. The analysis is derived from open-source intelligence (OSINT), corporate filings, technical job requisitions, and industry case studies.

The investigation establishes that The Very Group, a prominent UK digital retailer and financial services provider with annual revenues exceeding £2.15 billion ¹, has systematically integrated a “High-Risk” technology stack. This infrastructure is heavily dependent on Israeli-origin firms with direct, documented, and foundational ties to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), specifically Unit 8200 (Signals Intelligence) and the broader Israeli national security apparatus.

Key Intelligence Findings:

• Capital Structure Alignment with the Defense Industrial Base: The recent acquisition of The Very Group by The Carlyle Group in late 2025 represents a seismic shift in the retailer’s ideological alignment. Transitioning from the family-owned Barclay structure to a US private equity firm with a prolific history of defense sector investment (e.g., ManTech, Booz Allen Hamilton) places The Very Group within a portfolio deeply embedded in the global military-industrial complex.²
• The “Unit 8200” Cyber-Kinetic Nexus: The audit confirms the target’s reliance on a “Full-Stack” Israeli cybersecurity architecture. The Very Group operationalizes Check Point Software Technologies for network perimeter defense ⁴, SentinelOne for autonomous endpoint protection ⁵, Wiz for cloud security posture management ⁶, and Vectra AI (a US firm with deep Israeli R&D and personnel integration) for network detection.⁵ This configuration ensures that the security of UK consumer data is contingent upon technology developed by the architects of Israeli state cyber warfare.
• Behavioral Surveillance & Biometrics: The target utilizes BioCatch, a behavioral biometrics firm founded by Unit 8200 veterans, to monitor user interactions at a cognitive level.⁷ Furthermore, the retailer employs NICE CXone (NICE Systems), a company founded by former IDF intelligence officers, for customer contact center operations, enabling voice biometrics and sentiment analysis capabilities.⁸ This effectively subjects the retailer’s 4.4 million customers to surveillance methodologies originally refined for counter-insurgency and intelligence gathering.
• Cloud Complicity: The Group’s digital transformation is anchored in Amazon Web Services (AWS) ⁹, a primary contractor for the Israeli government’s “Project Nimbus.” This strategic partnership raises critical questions regarding data sovereignty and the indirect subsidization of state cloud infrastructure used by the Israeli military.
• Attribution & Market Intelligence: The Very Group has migrated its mobile attribution and analytics to AppsFlyer, an Israeli market leader in mobile surveillance and user tracking.¹⁰

The aggregation of these vendors creates a high-fidelity “Digital Complicity Score.” The Very Group does not merely procure software; it operationalizes the output of Israel’s “Startup Nation” military-industrial pipeline, effectively funding and validating the dual-use technologies that underpin the occupation.

2. Corporate Ownership & The Geopolitics of Capital

To understand the depth of complicity, one must analyze the capital flowing into and out of The Very Group. The transition of ownership in late 2025 marks a pivot from private family governance to institutional private equity control with deep ties to the defense sector.

2.1 The Carlyle Group Acquisition: A Militarised Capital Structure

As of November 2025, The Carlyle Group (NASDAQ: CG) acquired a majority controlling stake in The Very Group, effectively ending the two-decade ownership tenure of the Barclay family.² This transaction is not merely financial; it aligns The Very Group with one of the world’s most significant investors in the aerospace, defense, and government services (ADG) sectors.

The Defense Nexus: The Carlyle Group’s history is inextricably linked to the defense industry. The firm has invested more than $12 billion across over 45 transactions in the ADG sector.¹¹ By bringing The Very Group under this umbrella, the retailer’s profits potentially cross-collateralize or sit alongside investments in companies that directly arm or support military operations.

• Portfolio Complicity: Carlyle’s portfolio has historically included ManTech International, a primary contractor for the US intelligence community and defense agencies, and Booz Allen Hamilton, known for its deep integration with the NSA and global surveillance apparatus.¹² In 2025 alone, Carlyle participated in follow-on equity offerings for StandardAero (aerospace/defense maintenance) and maintained investments in V2X Inc. (defense services).¹³
• Operational Control: The acquisition grants Carlyle operational sovereignty over The Very Group’s strategic direction, including IT procurement. Private equity firms typically enforce “preferred vendor” lists across their portfolios to leverage economies of scale. Given Carlyle’s defense orientation, this increases the probability of further entrenchment with “dual-use” technology providers that service both retail and defense sectors.¹⁴
• Geopolitical Exposure: Carlyle’s annual reports explicitly note that conflicts such as the war between Israel and Hamas impact their commodity prices and investment performance.¹⁵ This acknowledgement highlights that the firm’s financial health is coupled with geopolitical instability in the region.

2.2 International Media Investments (IMI): The Sovereign Wealth Interface

Retained as a “key stakeholder” alongside Carlyle is International Media Investments (IMI).² IMI is an Abu Dhabi-based private investment vehicle controlled by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President of the UAE.¹⁷

Normalization & Influence:

• RedBird IMI: IMI is a joint venture partner in RedBird IMI, which has aggressively pursued Western media assets, including the attempted takeover of The Telegraph.¹⁹
• Sky News Arabia: IMI operates Sky News Arabia as a joint venture with Sky Group.¹⁷ The platform has been scrutinized for its editorial positioning regarding Israel, particularly following the Abraham Accords. Interviews with Israeli opposition leaders on the channel have sparked debate regarding the normalization of media relations between the Gulf states and Israel.²⁰
• Financial Leverage: IMI transitioned from a lender position—holding debt secured against Barclay family assets—to an equity owner. This solidifies the influence of UAE sovereign capital over UK retail infrastructure. While the UAE maintains diplomatic relations with Israel, the flow of capital through IMI into Western assets serves to normalize the economic integration of the region under frameworks that often sideline Palestinian self-determination.¹⁴

2.3 Debt Structure & Liability Management

The Very Group’s capital structure involves complex liability management exercises, including a 2025 tender offer for £575 million in senior secured notes due 2026.²² The shift to Carlyle ownership provides a “strengthened capital base” ², but it also binds the retailer’s solvency to the broader credit markets where Carlyle operates. The refinancing of this debt likely involves global institutional investors, potentially including Israeli financial institutions or funds that invest heavily in the region, although specific bondholder identities remain opaque in the provided snippets.

3. The “Unit 8200” Cyber-Defense Stack (CIR 1)

The most direct evidence of digital complicity lies in the composition of The Very Group’s cybersecurity architecture. The audit reveals a “Full-Stack” reliance on vendors originating from the Israeli military-industrial complex. These firms are not merely commercial entities; they are the commercialized output of Unit 8200, the IDF’s signals intelligence corps, which is responsible for cyber warfare, surveillance, and intelligence gathering in the occupied Palestinian territories.

The following table summarizes the identified “Unit 8200” vendors currently operational within The Very Group:

3.1 Check Point Software Technologies: The Perimeter Guardian

Operational Status: CONFIRMED / ACTIVE

Technographic Evidence: The Very Group explicitly recruits engineering talent with proficiency in “Check Point R8x firewalls”.⁴ This specific versioning (R80/R81) indicates a modern, updated deployment of Check Point’s “Infinity” architecture, rather than legacy hardware. The role of “Senior Data Solutions Architect” requires this specific vendor knowledge, placing Check Point at the core of the network design.

The “Unit 8200” Connection:

Check Point is the foundational company of the Israeli cyber sector. Founded by Gil Shwed, a veteran of Unit 8200, the company is often described as the “grandfather” of the Startup Nation.

• State Integration: Check Point maintains a symbiotic relationship with the Israeli government and the IDF. Its “ThreatCloud” intelligence network relies on global telemetry to identify threats, data which is processed and analyzed in Israel.
• Surveillance Capabilities: The technologies used in Check Point’s firewalls (Deep Packet Inspection, SSL Inspection) are dual-use technologies that are fundamentally similar to the internet filtering and surveillance tools used to monitor communications in the occupied territories.
• Implication: By utilizing Check Point as its primary firewall, The Very Group entrusts the integrity of its entire network perimeter to a firm that is a pillar of Israel’s strategic national security assets. Every packet of data entering or leaving The Very Group’s network passes through Israeli-designed inspection gates.

3.2 SentinelOne: Autonomous Endpoint Militarisation

Operational Status: CONFIRMED / ACTIVE

Technographic Evidence: In the 2025 “Capital Structure Business Update,” The Very Group formally discloses the use of SentinelOne for “providing endpoint and response capabilities”.⁵ This is a definitive, high-confidence confirmation of active deployment across the enterprise estate (laptops, servers, point-of-sale terminals).

The “Unit 8200” Connection:

SentinelOne was founded by Tomer Weingarten and Almog Cohen in Tel Aviv. The company’s R&D center remains heavily based in Israel.

• Doctrine of Autonomy: SentinelOne’s marketing emphasizes “autonomous” AI-driven protection. This doctrine mirrors the operational requirements of asymmetric cyber warfare, where systems must operate without human intervention—a key priority for IDF cyber units.
• Integration: SentinelOne integrates deeply with other Israeli vendors like Wiz and Torq.²⁵ This creates a “mesh” of Israeli technology where data is shared between platforms, increasing the stickiness of the stack.
• Implication: The deployment of SentinelOne places a persistent, kernel-level agent on every device owned by The Very Group. This agent has the capability to monitor all processes, memory, and files. The telemetry gathered is fed into SentinelOne’s “Singularity” data lake, contributing to the refinement of algorithms that are also marketed to defense and intelligence clients globally.

3.3 Wiz: Total Cloud Visibility

Operational Status: CONFIRMED / ACTIVE

Technographic Evidence: Job listings for “Cloud Security Engineer” positions at The Very Group explicitly name “Wiz” as a required skill set and internal tool (“Internal use only – Grade G… Wiz, Inc.”).⁶

The “Unit 8200” Connection:

Wiz is perhaps the most direct transfer of elite Unit 8200 talent to the commercial sector in recent years. Founded by Assaf Rappaport and the team that previously built Adallom (sold to Microsoft), the founders are high-profile veterans of Unit 8200.

• Mechanism: Wiz connects to the cloud environment (AWS) via API and scans the entire infrastructure without agents. It builds a “graph” of every asset, permission, and vulnerability.
• Strategic Value: Wiz provides “God-mode” visibility into an organization’s cloud. By adopting Wiz, The Very Group is granting a tool built by ex-intelligence officers complete insight into its data architecture, customer databases, and proprietary code.
• Implication: The rapid adoption of Wiz by The Very Group suggests a willingness to prioritize “best-of-breed” security over data sovereignty concerns regarding the exposure of critical infrastructure maps to foreign-domiciled technology firms with state-security origins.

3.4 Vectra AI: The Hybrid Nexus

Operational Status: CONFIRMED / ACTIVE

Technographic Evidence: The Very Group lists Vectra as the vendor used to “enhance our network security by monitoring network traffic for suspicious activities and potential threats”.⁵

The “Unit 8200” Connection:

While Vectra AI is headquartered in San Jose, California, its operational and developmental ties to Israel are profound, creating a “grey area” that often escapes superficial audits.

• R&D and Talent: Vectra AI maintains significant ties to the Israeli cyber ecosystem. Its engineering staff have been documented spending extended periods in Tel Aviv training with Check Point’s R&D teams.²⁹
• Partnerships: Vectra has deep integration partnerships with purely Israeli firms like Pentera (Automated Security Validation).³⁰
• Implication: Vectra AI represents the “transatlantic” layer of the stack—US capital and branding wrapped around operational doctrines and partnerships that are deeply rooted in Tel Aviv. It functions as a bridge, normalizing the integration of Israeli threat detection methodologies into Western retail networks.

4. Surveillance Capitalism & Behavioral Biometrics (CIR 2)

The second critical vector of complicity is the deployment of “Retail Tech” that repurposes military-grade surveillance for consumer monitoring. This sector, often termed “Loss Prevention” or “Customer Experience,” relies on technologies originally designed for counter-terrorism, border control, and population management.

4.1 BioCatch: The Militarisation of Behavior

Operational Status: CONFIRMED / ACTIVE

Technographic Evidence: Recruitment data for “Fraud Analyst” roles at The Very Group lists a specific requirement to “Analyze BioCatch data from all geographies to identify key trends”.⁷

The “Unit 8200” Connection:

BioCatch was founded by Avi Turgeman, who served in Unit 8200. The company’s intellectual property is derived from military-grade behavioral tracking technologies used to identify saboteurs, spies, or terrorists based on their interaction patterns with digital devices.

• Mechanism: BioCatch collects approximately 2,000 data points per user session. It monitors how a user holds their phone (gyroscope/accelerometer), the cadence of their typing, the velocity of their mouse movements, and their hesitation before clicking.
• Complicity Risk: This technology treats the consumer as a “threat actor” to be analyzed. It creates a biometric profile of every customer without explicit consent for this depth of profiling. The use of BioCatch by The Very Group means that the cognitive and physical behaviors of UK citizens are being harvested and processed by algorithms developed for military intelligence sorting. It normalizes the “surveillance state” architecture within the private sector.

4.2 NICE Systems (CXone): Voice Biometrics & Sentiment

Operational Status: CONFIRMED / ACTIVE

Technographic Evidence: Industry reports and partnership announcements confirm that The Very Group utilizes NICE CXone for its contact center operations, leveraging its analytics and agent connectivity.⁸ Presentations by Very Group executives explicitly discuss “Turning Conversations into Gold” using speech data.³²

The “Unit 8200” Connection:

NICE Systems (Neptune Intelligence Computer Engineering) was founded by seven former IDF intelligence officers. It is one of Israel’s largest defense and technology conglomerates.

• Dual-Use History: NICE historically supplied voice recording and surveillance systems to intelligence agencies (including the NSA and Unit 8200) for mass interception. While it has spun off its defense division (Elbit Systems bought the cyber division), the core technology of CXone—recording, transcribing, and analyzing voice data—is rooted in these origins.
• Mechanism: NICE CXone records customer calls and uses AI to analyze “sentiment”—detecting anger, stress, or deception. It can also use voice biometrics to authenticate users.
• Complicity Risk: By using NICE, The Very Group is employing a platform that refined its capabilities on the interception of Palestinian communications. The “sentiment analysis” tools used to gauge customer satisfaction are lineal descendants of tools used to gauge population unrest or threat levels in occupied territories.

4.3 AppsFlyer: The Mobile Panopticon

Operational Status: CONFIRMED / ACTIVE

Technographic Evidence: Case studies from 2023/2024 confirm that The Very Group migrated its mobile measurement and attribution to AppsFlyer to “drive app installs” and “improve retention”.¹⁰

The “Unit 8200” Connection:

AppsFlyer is an Israeli “unicorn” headquartered in Herzliya. It is the dominant global player in mobile attribution.

• Mechanism: AppsFlyer tracks user behavior across the mobile ecosystem, linking ad views to installs and in-app actions. It utilizes deep linking and probabilistic modeling (device fingerprinting) to track users even when they attempt to opt-out.
• Complicity Risk: AppsFlyer aggregates data on billions of devices. As a central node in the Israeli tech ecosystem, it contributes significantly to the economic viability of the sector. The Very Group’s reliance on AppsFlyer ensures that its mobile marketing intelligence is filtered through Israeli-controlled data pipelines.

4.4 Syte vs. Constructor.io: The Visual Search Pivot

Operational Status: FORMER / LEGACY INFLUENCE

Technographic Evidence: Earlier documentation links The Very Group to Syte, an Israeli visual AI company, particularly through partnerships with Movable Ink and the hiring of former Syte personnel (Susan Hill).³⁴ However, more recent announcements (2023-2025) confirm a strategic partnership with Constructor.io for product discovery and search.³⁶

Analysis: Constructor.io is a US-based firm founded by Eli Finkelshteyn.³⁸ While the shift to Constructor reduces direct reliance on Israeli visual AI (Syte), the legacy influence remains through personnel and potential residual integrations in specific channels (e.g., email marketing via Movable Ink). The term “glassbox AI” used in Constructor marketing ³⁹ refers to explainable AI, not the Israeli analytics firm Glassbox Digital, preventing a false positive in this audit.

5. The Infrastructure of Complicity: Cloud & Data Sovereignty (CIR 3 & 4)

The Very Group’s “Project Future” digital transformation is built upon a cloud infrastructure that is politically compromised by the “Project Nimbus” contract.

5.1 Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Project Nimbus

Operational Status: CONFIRMED / STRATEGIC PARTNER

Technographic Evidence: The Very Group has selected AWS as its primary cloud provider, specifically for “Generative AI” initiatives and data warehousing.⁹ Executives have publicly stated that AWS “plays a massive role in the end-to-end data environment”.⁴⁰

The Project Nimbus Nexus:

AWS, alongside Google, holds the $1.2 billion “Project Nimbus” contract to provide cloud services to the Israeli government and defense establishment.

• Mechanism of Complicity: The revenue generated by commercial clients like The Very Group contributes to the massive infrastructure scale that allows AWS to service state contracts like Nimbus. Furthermore, Project Nimbus includes provisions that prevent AWS from denying service to specific Israeli government entities, effectively guaranteeing cloud infrastructure for the IDF and the Israel Land Authority (which manages settlement expansion).
• Data Sovereignty: While The Very Group likely hosts data in UK/EU regions, the software supply chain and the AI models (Amazon Bedrock) are part of a shared global ecosystem. The “Generative AI Innovation Centre” collaboration ⁹ binds The Very Group to the same AI development pipeline that is being militarised for the IDF.

5.2 The Integrator Layer: Publicis Sapient & Accenture

Operational Status: CONFIRMED

Technographic Evidence: Publicis Sapient and Accenture are identified as the primary digital transformation partners.⁴¹

Complicity Risk:

These global integrators act as the “gatekeepers” of technology selection.

• Accenture: Maintains a massive presence in Israel and an active venture capital arm (Accenture Ventures) that invests in Israeli cybersecurity and AI startups (e.g., Team8, Claroty).
• Mechanism: Integrators often enforce reference architectures that privilege “best-of-breed” Israeli vendors (Check Point, CyberArk, etc.). Their role in “Project Future” likely institutionalized the selection of the Unit 8200 stack described in Section 3.

6. Retail Media & Logistics: The Supply Chain

6.1 Very Media Group & SMG

Operational Status: CONFIRMED / ACTIVE

Technographic Evidence: The Very Group launched “Very Media Group” in partnership with SMG (Shopper Media Group).¹

Analysis: SMG provides the “Plan-Apps” operating system. While SMG itself is UK-based, the ecosystem of retail media is heavily populated by Israeli ad-tech firms (e.g., ironSource, Outbrain, Taboola) for programmatic distribution. While no direct link to Israeli ad-tech is confirmed in the snippets for SMG specifically, the aggregation of customer data for media targeting ¹ feeds into the same surveillance economy principles pioneered by the Israeli tech sector.

6.2 Logistics Automation: KNAPP

Operational Status: CONFIRMED / ACTIVE

Technographic Evidence: The “Skygate” fulfillment center uses automation from KNAPP.⁴³

Analysis:

KNAPP is an Austrian company. This suggests that the physical logistics layer of The Very Group is less compromised by Israeli technology than the cyber layer. There is no evidence of Israeli logistics firms like Bringg or Fabric in the current dataset.
