Capabilities

Identify risk. Gather actionable intelligence. Protect your information online.

Information on People

Our analysts collect data points from billions of formal and informal records held at every level of government. We dig past the surface, reaching two or more layers deeper than the commercial databases we use to launch an investigation. From there, OSINT methods draw on private sector sources and the subject's own digital footprint to build a full picture of their history, patterns of activity, assets, and whereabouts. When the subject is unknown, our analysts use advanced tactics to unmask the threat actor.

Information on Corporate Entities

When a company is the subject, especially one with an opaque structure, the investigation calls for the right combination of methods and technologies. We examine corporate structure, equity and debt arrangements, business assets, public perception, associated persons and projects, vendor relationships, and office locations, using both traditional and non-traditional intelligence-gathering techniques. These are often the most complex and rewarding assignments we take on.

Information on Places

We investigate incidents at one or more target locations using commercial satellite imagery, public and private CCTV footage, records research, and social media analysis.

Information on Objects

Device forensics and cell site analysis recover, preserve, and authenticate content from devices belonging to persons of interest. We can also trace the whereabouts of vehicles, planes, and boats on a broad scale. When questions arise about digital images or video, our forensic authentication and enhancement gives clients the clearest defensible version of the evidence in question.
