OSINT Analysis

Open-source intelligence, like an adversary.

Open-source intelligence gathering on your organization, people, and technology, the reconnaissance a real attacker performs before an attack.

What we test

Where we focus

Organizational and technology footprint

Employee and role enumeration

Leaked credentials and documents

Metadata and information leakage

Social media and public exposure

Supplier and third-party exposure

This is part of our Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing service. Retest validation is included at no added cost.

Who it's for

Organizations that want to see what a real attacker can learn about them from public sources before an attack, and security teams preparing for phishing, social engineering, or targeted intrusion threats.

FAQ

Common questions

What is OSINT analysis?

Open-source intelligence (OSINT) analysis is the gathering of information about an organization, its people, and its technology from publicly available sources. It mirrors the reconnaissance a real attacker performs before an attack, without touching the target's systems directly.

What sources does OSINT use?

OSINT draws on publicly accessible information such as websites, DNS and certificate records, public code repositories, document metadata, social media, job postings, and breach or leak data. All of it is collected passively from open sources.

How does OSINT reduce real-world risk?

OSINT reveals exposures attackers rely on, such as leaked credentials, employee and role details useful for phishing, technology fingerprints, and information leakage in metadata. Knowing what is exposed lets an organization reduce that footprint before it is used against them.
