Why Sightline Integrity ?
The most significant risks are often the ones hidden within legitimate operations.
Sightline Integrity helps organisations identify and manage trusted insider risk, supply chain vulnerabilities and operational exposure before they become significant issues.
Led by Vanessa Ruff, whose career spans more than two decades across the Australian Border Force and Australian Government, Sightline combines operational experience with practical advisory support. From frontline border operations and integrity investigations to maritime capability and international partnerships, Vanessa brings a unique perspective on how organised crime exploits legitimate systems, and how organisations can strengthen resilience in response.

Client Reviews
“Vanessa is also an exceptional communicator. She engages confidently with frontline officers, senior executives, industry representatives, and partner agencies, adapting her communication style to suit the audience while maintaining professionalism and clarity.
She has a natural ability to build trust and foster strong working relationships, which proved invaluable when coordinating multi-agency responses and engaging with stakeholders across the border and supply chain environment”

“Vanessa has always led by example. Her integrity, operational discipline and ability to navigate complex environments set a standard that I aspired to meet. She pushed me when I needed it, backed me when it counted, and gave me opportunities that accelerated my growth. Even in the most demanding operational periods, she made space to mentor, guide and challenge me in ways that built long‑term capability”.
— Matthew R, Australian Border Force
