Services

Desk-based intelligence, tailored to your matter

Every service below is delivered using lawful, ethical and proportionate methods, drawing on open sources and public records. We do not guarantee specific outcomes — investigations depend on the availability and accuracy of third-party information — but we always report honestly on what we find within the agreed scope.

Corporate Due Diligence

Independent verification of companies, directors and counterparties before you partner, invest or transact — ownership, history and risk indicators drawn from public and open sources.

Pre-Employment & Employee Screening

Lawful, proportionate background and credential checks on candidates and staff to support safer, better-informed hiring and HR decisions.

Comprehensive OSINT Profiling & Intelligence Reporting

In-depth open-source intelligence profiles, corroborated across multiple sources and structured into clear, decision-ready written reports.

Digital Footprint & SOCMINT

Analysis of publicly available online and social-media information (SOCMINT) to map an individual’s or organisation’s digital footprint.

Adverse Media Screening & Reputational OSINT

Searches for negative news, sanctions exposure and reputational red flags across media and public records to protect your interests.

Litigation Support & Evidence Gathering

Lawful research and documentation to support solicitors and legal proceedings, with findings presented clearly and defensibly.

Online Threat & Risk Assessments

Assessment of online threats, harassment and risk exposure, with practical findings to inform protective and security decisions.

Client journey

From first enquiry to secure case closure

A structured, transparent and secure process for every engagement — conducted ethically and in full compliance with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

1

Initial enquiry & suitability

You contact us by phone, email or website. We carry out a quick, no-obligation suitability and lawful-purpose check and discuss scope at a high level. If your matter is viable, we schedule a discovery call.

2

Discovery call

An in-depth discussion of your objectives, feasibility, risks, indicative fees and timeline. We align on data protection and what you can expect from us.

3

Formal engagement

We send a detailed quote and Client Engagement Agreement via secure e-signature. You sign and pay a non-refundable deposit (typically 50%); work begins only once this is complete. We are not VAT-registered, so no VAT is added.

4

Compliance check — lawful basis & safeguarding

Before any research begins, we complete our mandatory lawful-basis and safeguarding checks. For consent-based services, such as pre-employment screening, we obtain signed written consent first.

5

Onboarding & research

We carry out ethical desk-based OSINT within the agreed scope, using only lawful sources and methods. We provide agreed progress updates via secure channels, and any change of scope is agreed in writing.

6

Report preparation

We analyse all findings and prepare a clear, neutral, evidence-based report: methodology, key findings, confidence levels, an evidence log, an executive summary and, where relevant, a formal statement of truth.

7

Invoicing & secure delivery

We issue the final invoice for the balance. On settlement, we deliver the full report and evidence securely — an encrypted PDF with a separate password, or a secure client share. An optional debrief call is offered.

8

Closure & retention

We confirm you have received and understood the report, invite your feedback, and remain available for future clarifications. Your case file and report are retained securely in line with our Data Retention & Deletion Policy.

Ethical OSINT only · Secure by design · Fully documented in our Client Engagement Agreement & Terms.
