OSINT Investigation — in-depth research from open sources
Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) is the art of finding what is publicly available but not easily discoverable. We analyse digital footprints, registrations and networks — and translate them into actionable insights for your case.

OSINT Investigation
The digital world contains a wealth of information — but finding, interpreting and documenting it in a legally sound manner requires specialist expertise. OSINT investigation goes beyond a Google search. It is a systematic analysis of publicly available sources, conducted with professional tools and forensic precision. We translate digital traces into concrete insights that strengthen your case. From hidden corporate structures to digital behaviour patterns: we find what there is to find.
What we investigate
Which sources do we use?
We analyse social media (profiles, posts, connections), domain and website data (registrations, hosting history), international company registrations (UBO registers, annual accounts), dark web monitoring (forums, leaked data), geolocation data (metadata, check-ins) and network relationships between individuals and entities. All findings are documented in a forensically sound manner.
Applications in legal practice
OSINT is used in fraud investigations (hidden assets, shell constructions), family law (actual income, cohabitation), employment law (side activities, breach of non-compete clauses), criminal law (alibi verification, online behaviour patterns) and intellectual property (infringements, counterfeiting). We translate digital traces into actionable insights for your litigation strategy.
