OSINT
Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) integrates seamlessly with our core Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) capabilities and helps you spot threats early, understand your exposure, and stay in control. In our hyper-connected world, information is both a powerful asset and a potential liability. What's publicly visible can be just as dangerous as what's hidden.
Whether you're a business protecting its brand or an individual safeguarding your privacy, our goal is the same: uncover risk before it becomes a problem.
We are here to gather and analyse legally available information from the surface, deep, and dark web and monitor suspicious activity to stay ahead of threats, protect your reputation, and secure your operations. This is done to help you safeguard your brand, identify a leaked credential, uncover brand misuse, investigate a breach, or monitor suspicious activity; our OSINT services are tailored to meet your unique needs.
Why OSINT is Crucial in the Age of Digital Risk
OSINT is no longer just a niche technique; it's a fundamental component of robust cybersecurity and effective digital investigations. Here's why it matters:
- Proactive Threat Detection: Identify vulnerabilities, track adversary tactics (TTPs), and monitor for leaked data or chatter indicating potential attacks before they impact you.
- Enhanced Incident Response: During an incident, OSINT provides crucial context – helping attribute attacks, understand the scope, identify related malicious infrastructure, and gather evidence.
- Comprehensive Risk Management: Understand your digital footprint, assess third-party risks, and identify exposed information attackers could leverage.
- Brand & Reputation Protection: Monitor for brand infringement, counterfeit goods, negative sentiment, and disinformation campaigns targeting your organisation.
- Informed Decision-Making: Provide clear, evidence-based intelligence reports for strategic planning, legal action, or security posture adjustments.
Our OSINT Services
Our offerings fall into three key categories:
- Proactive OSINT
- Identify risks before they become threats. We actively hunt for potential threats and vulnerabilities, scanning your digital footprint related to your person or organisation. This is done by analysing your external attack surface, identifying potential data exposures, and tracking threat actor groups targeting your industry. It's about anticipating risks and enabling preventative action.
- Reactive OSINT
- After an incident occurs, time is critical. Our reactive OSINT services support active DFIR investigations by rapidly collecting intelligence on attackers, malware, infrastructure, and the scope of a compromise. From data leaks to reputational threats, we deliver answers when you need them most. Using publicly available data, we help answer the crucial "who, what, where, when, and how" of an attack.
- OSINT Monitoring
- Our continuous monitoring services are tailored to your specific areas of concern to watch over the web for suspicious. This could involve monitoring for mentions of your brand or executives on the dark web, tracking specific threat actors, identifying leaked credentials in real-time, or monitoring intellectual property violations. With real-time alerts and detailed reports, we ensure you're never caught off guard.
Our capabilities Include:
- Digital Footprint & Risk Analysis: We map your organisation's online presence, identifying exposed assets, potential metadata risks, leaked credentials, and other factors contributing to your attack surface.
- Information Recovery & Verification: Locating hard-to-find, sometimes seemingly deleted, information across various online platforms. Crucially, we focus on verifying the authenticity and relevance of discovered data.
- Online Asset Attribution: Determining the ownership and connections between websites, domains, IP addresses, social media profiles, and other online infrastructure often used by threat actors or infringers.
- Data Leakage Assessment: Monitoring dark web forums, marketplaces, and paste sites for compromised corporate or personal data, analysing the extent and impact of discovered leaks.
- Brand & Reputation Protection: Actively searching for trademark and copyright infringements, counterfeit product sales, impersonation attempts, and reputational attacks across the web, including marketplaces and social media.
- Threat Actor Intelligence: Profiling known and emerging threat actors, analysing their TTPs (Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures) to understand their motives, methods better, and likely targets.
- Third-Party & Supply Chain Intelligence: Conducting due diligence on partners, suppliers, or acquisition targets by assessing their public security posture and potential risks from open sources.
