Short answer
OSINT-S offers investigations, background checks and due diligence, KYC and AML support, fraud and crypto investigations, cyber threat intelligence, protection and monitoring, and strategic research and training.

OSINT Investigations: People, Companies, Assets and Accounts

Start from the decision, not the service name. Tell us what you have to decide and by when, and we will scope the lightest piece of work that answers it.
Many requests combine two or three services: a company investigation that turns into asset tracing, a background check that becomes ongoing monitoring, a dark web check that leads to a cyber investigation. You do not need to pick the right label first. Email the question, the subject and the deadline, and an analyst replies with a scope.
If you start from a single identifier, such as a phone number, an email, a social media account or a website, see investigations by target. If you work in a particular sector, the industry pages show which services teams like yours use most. For an overview of how we work, see our OSINT services and the agency behind them.
Send Us the Question
Who or what, the decision it supports and the deadline. We reply with a scope, a timeline and a fixed quote.
Questions About Our Services
We have a messy situation involving a supplier, a former employee and some leaked files, and we do not know which of your services fits — can we just describe it and let you decide?
Yes, and that is the usual way to start. Email the facts you have, what you need to decide and your deadline. An analyst reads it, checks that the purpose is lawful and replies with a written scope that may combine several services, for example a company investigation, a dark web check and an employee screening review. You see the scope and a fixed quote before any work begins.
Our compliance team already uses a screening database for sanctions and PEPs, so what would an OSINT service add that the database does not already give us, and when is it worth paying for?
A database tells you whether a name matches a list; an analyst tells you what the match means. OSINT work adds court and corporate records, ownership chains, media and online activity, and it verifies identity when names are common or transliterated. It is worth it when screening returns a hit, a gap or an ownership structure that stops at a holding company, or when the decision is large enough that a wrong answer is expensive.
If we commission one service, like a background check, and something serious turns up halfway through, can the scope change, and how do you handle the extra cost and time?
Yes. If a finding changes the question, we stop, tell you what we found and propose a revised scope with a new fixed quote and date. Nothing extra is billed without your written approval. Often the original report is delivered as planned and the follow-up, such as asset tracing or a company investigation, runs as a separate piece of work.
We are a small company without a security or investigations team, so are your services only for large corporations and law firms, or can we hire you for a single check?
You can hire us for a single check. Many requests are one-off: a partner before a contract, a senior hire, a suspicious account, a domain impersonating your brand. Focused checks start from about ten business days, smaller tasks are sometimes done in a business day, and every job has a fixed quote agreed in advance, so the size of your company does not matter.
We need answers quickly because a deal closes next week — can any of your services be done urgently, and what does urgent delivery change about the price and the depth of the work?
Urgent delivery is available for an extra 50%. We agree in writing what can be done well in the time available, usually by narrowing the scope to the questions that matter most for the decision, and we tell you which checks were left out. If more time would change the answer, we say so rather than rushing a conclusion.
Are there things you will refuse to do even if we ask, for example getting into someone's private social media or finding where a person lives without a clear legal reason?
Yes. We do not hack or log in to accounts, use fake profiles to see private content, pretext for records, buy stolen data to identify people, or locate individuals without a lawful purpose. We also turn down requests that look like stalking, harassment or retaliation. Every request is checked for purpose and proportionality before we accept it.
