OSINT & Due Diligence
Lawful open-source intelligence and due diligence to support informed decisions.
OSINT, or open-source intelligence, is the analysis of lawfully available public information to answer a defined question. Digital due diligence applies evidence-led assessment to a proposed relationship, commitment or risk decision.
Discuss Due DiligenceStructured evidence over internet speculation.
Publicly available information is not automatically reliable, relevant or appropriate to use. Responsible analysis considers context, limitations and privacy.
We support proportionate enquiries for organisations assessing risk or seeking a factual baseline.
Outcomes to work towards
Due diligence
Evidence-led support for commercial decisions.
Source assessment
Confidence and limitations communicated clearly.
Risk analysis
Relevant findings rather than undifferentiated information.
Responsible intelligence
A lawful purpose and proportionate scope.
Who this is for
For organisations evaluating counterparties, compliance concerns or a commercial decision. It is useful when accessible information needs careful assessment rather than simple collection or an unverified internet summary.
The decision it helps you make
Public availability is not permission for unrestricted use. A responsible brief establishes purpose, relevance and proportionality, including the treatment of personal information. It should also define what level of confidence the decision requires.
What we can provide
- A defined due-diligence question and proportionate research scope.
- Analysis that considers source reliability, context and relevance.
- Findings with limitations and unresolved issues made explicit.
Our approach
OSINT can support a wider digital investigation, but the two are not interchangeable. A broader investigation may require a different mandate and scope. We discuss suitability before requesting sensitive materials.
Deliverables and expected outcomes are agreed for the engagement. These are areas of work, not unconditional performance or legal guarantees.
A proportionate engagementClear scope.
Clear scope.
Useful outcomes.
Begin with the problem, the people affected and the outcome you need. We discuss suitability, constraints and commercial scope before agreeing a delivery or advisory engagement.
Initial qualification is not a request for credentials, sensitive records or confidential specifications. Deeper disclosure follows appropriate confidentiality arrangements.
Common requirements
What is OSINT?
Open-source intelligence is analysis of lawfully available public information to support a defined question. Public availability does not remove data protection obligations.
