OSINT Audit & Digital Exposure Assessment
An OSINT audit answers a simple but often uncomfortable question:
What can someone discover about you using only publicly accessible information?
Our digital exposure assessments use lawful open-source intelligence methods to identify how individuals, organisations, and assets are exposed online — and how that information could realistically be misused.
This is not reputation management.
It is risk-focused intelligence analysis.
What a digital exposure OSINT audit examines
An OSINT audit evaluates how information connects, not just where it exists.
Typical assessment areas include:
Personal or corporate digital footprint
Public records and registries
Social media exposure and linkage
Data aggregation and broker visibility
Historical content persistence
Asset, location, and association discoverability
Credential, breach, and reuse indicators (where lawful)
The objective is to understand discoverability, correlation, and misuse potential.
Why digital exposure creates real-world risk
Publicly available information is routinely used to:
Profile individuals and families
Enable targeted surveillance or tracking
Support social engineering and impersonation
Identify pressure points and leverage
Inform physical targeting or intrusion
Prepare litigation, harassment, or media action
An OSINT audit assesses how realistic these risks are, not whether data merely exists.
Who typically requests an OSINT audit
This service is designed for clients with real consequences, not curiosity.
✔ Executives and board members
✔ High-net-worth individuals
✔ Legal teams and dispute cases
✔ Journalists and public-facing individuals
✔ Corporate security and risk teams
Not suitable for:
Casual “Google yourself” checks
Reputation or PR-only services
Automated scan reports
If exposure would materially affect safety, leverage, or decision-making, an OSINT audit is appropriate.
How our OSINT audit process works
Each digital exposure audit follows a structured methodology:
Scoping & context
Individual, organisation, or asset focus
Jurisdictional considerations
Risk tolerance and concerns
Open-source collection
Lawful, non-intrusive sources
No deception or unauthorised access
Correlation & analysis
Linking fragmented data points
Pattern and narrative identification
Risk assessment
Likelihood vs impact
Real-world misuse scenarios
Clear reporting
What is exposed
Why it matters
What can and cannot be mitigated
Reports are written for decision-makers, not analysts.
How this differs from automated exposure tools
Many services rely on:
Automated data scraping
Breach alerts without context
Tool-generated “risk scores”
Our OSINT audits focus on:
Human-led analysis
Evidential chains
Contextual interpretation
Practical implications
The goal is clarity, not noise.
What this service does not do
To set expectations clearly:
We do not remove information from the internet
We do not provide reputation management or PR
We do not access private systems or accounts
We do not provide speculative or unverified claims
This service identifies risk and exposure, so informed decisions can be made.
Relationship to other services
An OSINT audit may lead to:
A broader OSINT investigation
Counter-surveillance or TSCM services
Advisory support for risk reduction
No further action if exposure is limited
Advice is proportionate, not alarmist.
