Frequently Asked Questions

A standard criminal record check provides very limited insight. Our corporate due diligence and background checks are comprehensive, analyzing a subject’s affiliations, online behavior for toxic content, financial red flags, and undisclosed business interests. Unlike criminal checks, which often miss jurisdictions, our investigations provide a complete picture to truly understand the risks associated with an employee or partner.

We specialize in a range of bespoke intelligence solutions for high-stakes environments. This includes M&A transaction support, private equity investment screening, third-party and supply chain due diligence, executive C-suite vetting, and cyber security vulnerability assessments for businesses.

Social media analysis is just one part of Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT). We utilize advanced tools for surface, deep, and dark web analysis, including dark web database access, geolocation tools, and facial recognition software. This technological approach is complemented by trained investigators with years of experience identifying business threats. This “human-in-the-loop” model ensures we deliver contextual insights, not just raw data.

Absolutely. Data ethics is a core principle. Our team of intelligence experts collects open-source information in strict adherence to international data protection and ethical standards, such as GDPR. We are not hackers; we are intelligence professionals. This ensures our findings are both valuable and legally sound.
