Your OSINT digital footprint is everything a stranger can piece together about you from public and commercially available sources. We run the same research an attacker would, show you what it reveals and help you remove or reduce what matters.
An OSINT digital footprint assessment is an audit of what an attacker can learn about an organization or a person from open sources: staff names and emails, home addresses on data broker sites, leaked passwords, exposed documents and social media. OSINT-S documents each finding, ranks it by risk and gives you a remediation plan with opt-outs, removal requests and settings changes. Focused audits take from 10 business days.
It is an outside-in review: we research you the way a fraudster, phisher or stalker would, then tell you what they would find and what to do about it.
Every organization and person leaves traces: company filings, staff profiles, conference talks, breached accounts, property records, people-search listings, old forum posts. Individually most are harmless. Together they give an attacker the raw material for a convincing phishing email, a fake invoice from the CEO, an account takeover or a visit to someone's home.
An OSINT audit puts those traces in one place, checks which are accurate, and asks one question of each: does this help someone harm you? The answer drives a prioritized plan, so you fix the few items that matter rather than chasing every mention.
Company audits focus on social engineering and attack surface; personal audits focus on home, family and accounts.
Staff and email formats, org charts reconstructed from public profiles, exposed documents and metadata, leaked corporate credentials, look-alike domains, and what attackers could use for phishing or payment fraud. It often precedes authorized testing.
Red team OSINT reconnaissance →Home addresses, phone numbers and relatives on people-search sites, property and company records, breached personal accounts, family social media and anything that reveals routines. Common for executives, public figures and people facing harassment.
Executive protection →Usually more than people expect, and most of it comes from a handful of sources that can be cleaned up.
| Finding | Typical sources | How it is misused |
|---|---|---|
| Home address and phone | People-search sites, data brokers, property and company records | Doxxing, stalking, SIM-swap and social engineering |
| Email addresses and formats | Websites, staff profiles, breach data | Phishing and password spraying |
| Leaked passwords and session data | Breach dumps, infostealer logs, criminal channels | Account takeover, bypass of multi-factor authentication |
| Organization structure | Professional networks, press releases, job ads | CEO fraud, fake supplier invoices, targeted phishing |
| Documents and metadata | Public file shares, old web pages, document properties | Insight into systems, usernames and internal processes |
| Routines and family | Social media, fitness apps, school and club pages | Physical targeting and impersonation of relatives |
These two sources account for most of the serious findings in a typical audit, and both can be reduced.
DROP helps California residents only and covers registered data brokers, not every website. Outside California, opt-outs are still site by site, which is where most of the remediation effort goes.
Scope, collect, verify, rank, then remediate and re-check. A focused audit takes from 10 business days.
We tell you exactly what can be removed, by whom and how, and we only use lawful routes.
We do not hack, threaten or pay sites to delete content, and some public records cannot be removed at all. In those cases the plan focuses on making the record harder to connect to you.
You can do a useful first pass in an afternoon with free tools; a professional audit adds depth, verification and remediation.
A free self-check misses breach data on criminal sources, records in other countries and links only an analyst would connect. For a company, it also does not show what an attacker can learn about your staff. That is where a professional assessment, one of our OSINT services for security teams and individuals, earns its cost.
A risk-ranked report with evidence, a remediation plan and a short debrief, from 10 business days for a focused audit.
The report lists each finding with its source, a capture, a risk rating and the recommended fix. Personal audits are delivered only to the person concerned or someone they authorize. Company audits come with an executive summary and a technical annex. Comprehensive audits of large organizations or many family members take up to about a month. Urgent work can be expedited for 50% on top of the quote, and if we miss the agreed date, the fee goes down. All work is under NDA.
Exposure comes back. Breaches, new listings and new posts appear every month, so many clients add dark web monitoring or wider OSINT monitoring after the audit.
Focused versions of digital footprint for specific subjects, deals and situations.
What a stranger can find about you or your family, how the pieces connect, and a plan to remove or reduce what matters.

A professional audit goes beyond search results. We check people-search and broker sites, property and company records, breach data on criminal sources and your family's public accounts, verify which items are really about you, and show how they connect, for example a breached email that links to an old address. You get a risk-ranked list and a remediation plan, not just a scan result.
Yes. A company exposure audit reconstructs what an attacker can see: staff names and roles from professional networks, your email format, job ads that reveal systems, exposed documents and leaked corporate credentials. We show which sources make the phishing convincing and which can be reduced. It is often the first step before authorized red team testing or staff training.
We can map where your address and other personal details appear, including people-search sites, records and social media, and give you the opt-out, search removal and platform reporting routes for each. Some public records cannot be removed. If you feel unsafe, contact the police first; we can provide a documented report of what was published and where, which may help them and your lawyer.
DROP lets California residents send one deletion request to all registered data brokers, and brokers had to start processing those requests from August 2026. It does not cover websites that are not registered brokers, public records, social media, breach data or information published by others. An audit shows what is left after DROP and what to do about it.
A one-off audit is a good baseline, but exposure changes as breaches happen, people change jobs and new listings appear. Many organizations repeat a focused audit once a year and after major events such as an acquisition, a layoff or a leadership change. If the people involved are high-profile, ongoing monitoring is usually more useful than repeat audits.
We collect only what is publicly or commercially available and relevant to security risk, under a documented legitimate interest where GDPR applies. Findings about an individual's private life are reported in aggregate or shared only with that person, not used to judge employees. We agree with you in writing who receives which parts of the report before we start.
No one can delete everything. Realistic results are: most people-search listings opted out, sensitive search results removed, exposed passwords changed, impersonation accounts reported, and family accounts tightened. Public records, news coverage and content on sites outside your legal reach usually stay. The goal is to make you much harder to research, and we tell you upfront which items cannot be removed.
