The art of finding, connecting and verifying information that is already available – but requires expertise to interpret and use.
OSINT – Open Source Intelligence – is the systematic collection, analysis and verification of information from open, publicly available sources. It is not about hacking or intrusion, but about using what is already there – social media, public registers, media archives, corporate data and digital footprints.
The difference between a Google search and a professional OSINT analysis is like the difference between browsing a phone directory and conducting a full intelligence analysis. We know where to look, how to connect data points and how to verify what we find.
Individuals' digital footprints – social media, forums, comments
Corporate structures, ownership chains and connections between companies
Financial history via public registers and credit reports
Geographical mapping via metadata and open sources
International connections, sanctions lists and PEP status
OSINT can be used as a standalone service or as a complement to our other investigations.
We use a structured process that ensures the information we deliver is accurate, verified and actionable.
Together with you, we define what you need to know. The clearer the question, the more precise the analysis.
We systematically search relevant sources: social media, public registers, company databases, court archives, media archives and specialist OSINT tools.
We connect data points from different sources to identify patterns, connections and anomalies invisible at surface level.
All information is cross-referenced and verified before inclusion in the report. We distinguish between confirmed facts, probable information and unconfirmed data.
When needed, we present connections and networks in visual formats – network graphs, timelines and relationship maps that make complex connections comprehensible.
The result is delivered in a structured report with source references, confidence levels and our analytical conclusions.
What do you need to know? About whom or what? In what context? We help you formulate the right questions.
We conduct a systematic search and analysis. The process is iterative – new findings often lead to new search paths.
All findings are verified and quality-assured before reporting. We do not deliver guesswork.
You receive a report with all findings, source references and our assessment. We are available for questions and additions.
OSINT uses only open and publicly available sources. This means the collection itself is lawful. We do, however, follow GDPR and data protection law in how we process and store the information we collect, and we ensure the purpose of the collection is justified.
Searching public registers and databases, analysis of social media and web content, review of company information and ownership structures, metadata analysis, network mapping.
Hacking, intrusion into private accounts or systems, social engineering involving deception, purchasing stolen or leaked data, collection without a justified purpose.
OSINT reports can be used as evidence in legal proceedings, for due diligence, in security assessments and as decision-making material in business contexts.
OSINT uses only information that is openly available – no intrusions, no passwords, no private systems. It is about being skilled at finding and interpreting information that is already public.
Simple mappings can be delivered within 24–48 hours. More extensive analyses with international elements may take up to a week.
In some cases, yes. OSINT can answer questions that would otherwise require days of physical surveillance. We often recommend OSINT as a first step before potentially supplementing with fieldwork.
OSINT assignments are often more cost-effective than physical surveillance. The price depends on the complexity of the question and the number of target subjects.
