Cecil is a geospatial intelligence platform that helps organizations access, analyze, and operationalize environmental and spatial datasets through a single API and software development platform. The company standardizes complex geospatial information from dozens of providers, making it easier for businesses, researchers, financial institutions, and sustainability teams to evaluate environmental risks, biodiversity impacts, land use change, and climate-related exposures.
The platform addresses one of the biggest challenges in environmental intelligence: fragmented data. Spatial datasets often come from different providers, use different formats, coordinate systems, metadata structures, and licensing agreements, making analysis difficult and time-consuming. Cecil solves this by curating, validating, and standardizing datasets into consistent, analysis-ready formats.
Through its data marketplace, users can access more than 40 commercial and open datasets covering deforestation, biodiversity, protected areas, land use change, climate risks, soil moisture, forest integrity, and supply chain risk factors. The platform supports use cases ranging from EUDR compliance and supply chain due diligence to TNFD reporting, conservation planning, carbon project development, and infrastructure siting.
Designed for developers, scientists, sustainability professionals, and enterprise data teams, Cecil integrates directly into existing workflows through APIs, SDKs, GIS platforms, and analytics tools. By reducing the complexity of environmental data analysis, the company helps organizations make more informed decisions about nature, climate, and land use.
