Boundaries

Calm authority requires clear limits.


Varqus is designed to protect lawful business relationships in Europe. We are B2B only. We do not conduct private investigations, and we do not provide services that can be used to target individuals or companies.


Principle: purpose limitation, proportionality, and auditability.
Scope: micro and small enterprises, cross-border business relations.




What Varqus does not do

These limits are structural. They exist to protect clients and to keep Varqus inside lawful and ethical boundaries.

No private investigations

No personal matters, no relationship disputes, no find-dirt tasks, and no services that attempt to shame or expose individuals.

No targeting services

Varqus does not provide tools or work products intended to harm, pressure, or strategically target companies or people.

No unlawful data access

We do not access law enforcement databases. We operate only with client-provided data and permitted intelligence sources.





What Varqus does do

Varqus operates as an external line of defence for SMEs. The work is governance: verification, monitoring, and decision support.

Business relationship verification

KYB and KYS for companies, KYC for governance-linked individuals, KYA for HR context. Every case expires after 12 months.

Transaction-driven monitoring

Bank behaviour is treated as governance data: mismatches, unknown entities, high-value transfers, and concentration risk.

Resilience intelligence

We measure dependency and fragility. We recommend EDD when exposure concentration becomes structurally dangerous.





Purpose limitation and data posture

Purpose limitation

  • We process data to protect lawful business relationships and support governance decisions.
  • We do not use data for marketing, profiling unrelated to risk, or behavioural manipulation.
  • We keep outputs defensible: traceable rules, case references, and event logs.

Operational minimisation

  • We ingest only what is needed: counterparties, IBANs, dates, amounts, and identifiers required for verification.
  • We respect do-nothing rules: incoming from private individuals is not treated as KYB.
  • We distinguish HR context (KYA) from non-HR payments to persons (KYC rationale check).

This page is positioning, not legal advice. Formal terms, data processing agreements, and retention logic are defined in engagement documentation.





Ethical guardrails

Varqus believes that governance without ethics becomes coercion. Limits keep the service legitimate and trustworthy.

B2B only
Designed for companies, not private disputes.
Defensible outputs
Rules, cases, and logs, not rumours.
Proportionality
Checks match the exposure and the risk appetite.
