Our Approach
Identify goals and set scope
We will discuss with you the purpose of your OSINT need and then define the scope of the investigation including gaining an understanding of the types of data you need, such as social media posts, news articles, public records, forums etc.
Source identification and data collection
We will identify and compile a list of reliable and relevant sources. These may include websites, social media platforms, news outlets, government databases, academic publications, and more. We will then categorise and cross-reference to ensure accuracy and credibility.
We use a combination of automatic and manual data collection techniques including software to streamline data collection processes in an efficient and ethical way.
Analaysis and Reporting
We conduct data cleaning to remove irrelevant, duplicate or erroneous data. Once we have cleaned and organised the data, we will identify patterns and trends before cross referencing the data with multiple sources to validate and confirm accuracy.
Finally, we will prepare a report organising our findings into a clear, concise and comprehensive report with a mixture of information and graphics ensuring clarity for interpretation.
