What is OSINT and why is it important?

Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) applies intelligence-gathering techniques and technology to investigations using open source data (OSD).
To ensure evidence is secure, investigators must track all OSINT sources—capturing screenshots, timestamps of key findings, and log their activities—to verify that the investigation was conducted thoroughly. It is also important to verify facts, avoid pretexting, and check for bias when conducting OSINT investigations. This where Neotas Enhanced Due Diligence Platform can help!

Enhanced decision-making

OSINT provides insights into security threats, market trends, competitor analysis, and consumer behaviour. By leveraging OSINT, organisations can make informed decisions based on up-to-date and relevant information.

Improved security and risk management

OSINT allows companies to gather data on potential threats and implement appropriate security measures to mitigate business risks effectively.

Cost-effective data gathering

OSINT leverages publicly available information that is often free, eliminating the need for financial investment in data acquisition.

Eliminate Process Inefficiencies

The Neotas Due Diligence platform offers a user-friendly and efficient solution for due diligence research by centralising source links, providing QA visibility, automating report template selection and content population, streamlining multi-source querying, and simplifying source access with automated means. These features collectively contribute to a more effective and productive due diligence process. 

  • Centralise and organise all source links from different jurisdictions, making it easier for researchers to access and explore relevant information.
  • Quality Assurance (QA) teams can track and review the complete history of queries run by researchers during the due diligence process.
  • Simplifies the reporting process by automatically presenting the most up-to-date report templates tailored to specific clients and use cases.
  • Automatically pre-populates relevant findings and identifiers into a predefined report template.
  • Simplifies the data retrieval process by allowing researchers to send queries to multiple sources simultaneously using a single input.
  • Automated source querying to eliminate username/password hassles, simplifying the research workflow and enhancing security.

Quality Improvements and Save Cost

Revolutionise due diligence with our cutting-edge platform! Automated internet searches, multilingual capabilities, and dynamic research checklists streamline the process. Discover connections across sources with network analysis, and upskill analysts with automatic OSINT techniques. Stay ahead with efficiency, accuracy, and unrivaled insights!

  • Automated internet searches for consistent and quality results with pre-defined parameters, such as Boolean queries using identifier variations, to ensure consistency and gather high-quality results.
  • Multilingual capabilities for comprehensive search allowing researchers to access information as a native speaker would, ensuring comprehensive and accurate results from sources in different linguistic contexts.
  • Dynamic research methodology checklist for structured analysis and comments. Analysts and QAs can enter comments and notes at each step, promoting collaboration and ensuring a well-documented research process.
  • Network analysis to connect data from various sources for a holistic view, revealing potential associations and risks that might otherwise be missed in disjointed databases.
  • Automatic OSINT techniques to upskill analysts’ digital footprint discovery. This includes uncovering online information, social media presence, digital records, and other relevant data that contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the subjects under investigation.

Unmatched Risk Intelligence Across All Industries

Actionable risk intelligence for reputationally and regulatorily exposed decisions.

We leverage Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) to provide organisations with hyper-accurate, fully auditable insights using publicly available data—ensuring zero false positives.

Intelligence-Grade Investigations

Go beyond checklists with AI-powered forensic analysis that uncovers hidden links, undisclosed risks, and reputational red flags across surface, deep, and dark web sources.

Cross-Border, Multilingual OSINT

Access insights across jurisdictions and languages to support global compliance, regulatory scrutiny, and politically exposed investigations without translation or access barriers.

Relationship & Network Intelligence

Uncover how individuals, organisations, and transactions are interlinked with real-time visual mapping to expose concealed associations and influence paths.

Ongoing Monitoring with Alert Triggers

Move from reactive to proactive with real-time alerts on reputational changes, new affiliations, or adverse developments across media, sanctions, and hidden web activity.

Frequently Asked Questions on OSINT

OSINT stands for Open-Source Intelligence and refers to the collection and analysis of publicly available information from various sources such as social media, news articles, websites, and public records.

OSINT helps organisations detect threats, assess reputational risks, conduct enhanced due diligence on stakeholders, and support internal investigations using publicly available information.

The OSINT process involves identifying relevant sources, collecting data, validating credibility, and systematically analysing information to generate actionable intelligence.

Popular OSINT tools include search engines, metadata extractors, reverse image search, domain lookups, and social media analytics. Techniques often involve link analysis, pattern recognition, and behavioural mapping.

Relying solely on OSINT can lead to incomplete insights, as sensitive or classified data is not accessible. OSINT must often be complemented with internal intelligence or human sources to form a complete picture.

OSINT refers to the use of public sources for intelligence. OSD (Open Source Data) refers to the raw data itself, while OSINT is the analysis and contextualisation of that data.

OSINT investigations involve gathering and analysing publicly available information to uncover insights, identify risks, draw connections, and support investigative processes.

Organisations in finance, legal, compliance, security, and supply chain management use OSINT to detect fraud, assess third-party risks, and conduct enhanced due diligence on stakeholders.

With OSINT technology, you can gain real-time threat intelligence, monitor reputation, uncover hidden risks, and support compliance and investigative workflows.

The OSINT framework is a structured methodology that defines how to collect, validate, organise, analyse, and act upon publicly available data.

Read more on the OSINT Framework and the key components of a OSINT Framework.

Common techniques include link analysis to uncover relationships, reverse image searches to verify visual content, metadata extraction from files, and behavioural profiling from social media activity. These methods help build a comprehensive intelligence picture.

OSINT sources include news websites, corporate records, regulatory filings, court databases, social media platforms, blogs, forums, WHOIS/domain data, and satellite imagery. Each source provides a unique lens for intelligence gathering.
