We find, verify and document what the internet reveals about a person, a company or your own organisation, so you can make a decision or build a case on solid ground.

What we do

Subject profiling

A structured picture of an individual or organisation: identities, associations, online activity, business interests and history. Used in litigation, disputes and corporate investigations. Each finding is sourced and timestamped.

Due diligence research

Background on a prospective partner, supplier, investor or senior hire before you commit. We look for undisclosed directorships, adverse media, litigation history and inconsistencies in what you have been told.

Digital footprint review

What an attacker, a journalist or an opposing party could learn about your organisation and its people without touching your systems: exposed credentials, forgotten domains, leaked documents and staff information.

Intelligence support for investigations

Research for law firms and private investigators who need a specialist to trace online activity, attribute accounts or preserve online content before it disappears.

What you receive

  • A written report with findings ranked by confidence
  • Source references and captures for every finding
  • A summary a non-technical reader can follow
  • A debrief call to walk through the results

Lawful, proportionate and documented

Open source does not mean anything goes. We agree the purpose and scope with you before we start, collect only what is relevant to it, and record how every item was found. That protects you if the research is later challenged, and it means the report can be put in front of a solicitor or a court.

A consultant carries out the research and verifies every finding against a second source where one exists before it reaches you.

Process

  • 01

    Confidentiality.

    A non-disclosure agreement before you share any detail.

  • 02

    Scope.

    We agree the question, the subject and the limits.

  • 03

    Collection and analysis.

    Research, verification and cross-checking.

  • 04

    Report.

    Written findings and a debrief.

  • 05

    Next steps.

    Further research, forensic work or a witness statement if the matter proceeds.

Questions people ask

Open source intelligence is information collected from publicly available sources, such as websites, social media, company records, domain registrations and leaked data sets, and then analysed to answer a specific question.

Yes, when it is done for a legitimate purpose and in line with data protection law. We will tell you if a request falls outside what we can lawfully do.

No. Our research is passive. We do not contact the subject or interact with their accounts.

A focused profile can take a day or two. Complex matters with several subjects take longer; we give you an estimate at scoping.
