Digital investigation services are an effective tool to collect information about companies, persons of interest, locations of interest, specific threat actors, malware or particular technical assets. By utilising Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) gathering techniques, our operatives are able to collect vast amounts of information and technical data. Through correlation of this collected information, we aim to draw logical conclusions that may otherwise go unnoticed. With our deeply rooted technical approach, this service forms an effective addition to traditional intelligence operations. And due to its open nature, most digital investigations can be conducted covertly.

Digital investigations may include:

• Online identification
: Attempt to map the targeted individual or business onto specific social media, email and messaging accounts including: LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Clubhouse, TikTok, Telegram, WhatsApp and Google services.

• Account investigation: 
Online accounts and email addresses are often re-used and maintained over a long period of time. This may allow us to map various sites and services where the same accounts/IDs are used. By doing this, additional information can be gathered regarding the target.

• First degree connections
: When targeting an individual, we will attempt to map their direct line of connections. This includes close friends, relatives and family. Even if the direct person of interest does not disclose useful information, their first degree connections might.

• Geographical analysis: Based on information shared on social media and other platforms, it may be possible to identify places visited by a targeted individual.

• System analysis: 
If the target maintain a website or a server, these will be assessed for additional information in historical postings, re-using of IP addresses and other leaked (meta)data. This might provide additional (meta-)data or identity additional technical resources that may be queried.

These activities are performed non-invasively by default, if there is any doubt about the operational security of certain actions, this will always be cross-checked with our customer first.

Bear in mind that due to the nature of OSINT and other data gathering techniques, a digital investigation is always performed on best-effort. Some investigations lead to dead-ends, whereas others lead to an abundance of information requiring more time for thorough analysis.
