OSINT Research

Our comprehensive OSINT research supports your brand, using tools and key factor analysis to find out all relevant background information about infringers for extensive action against them.

Why we offer you OSINT research

OSINT is the abbreviation for Open Source Intelligence and OSINT research in connection with our brand protection services refers to the collection of publicly available information on infringers that is gathered and analysed by our brand protection experts.

The removal of minor infringers through a notice-and-takedown-system can create a cleaner image on marketplaces. We have found that addressing infringers involved in manufacturing not only provides potential revenue from legal actions, including possible damages, but also disrupts their sales channels in a way that offers long-term benefits.

Our trained experts are here to help you

Our brand protection experts are highly trained in OSINT research and regularly attend training courses by leading OSINT experts from all over the world. We implement newly learnt techniques and tricks into our services and thus create the optimal combination of online brand protection and in-depth human research.

Our trained OSINT experts will identify the offline identities associated with online sales accounts, enabling you to proceed with legal follow-up actions.

Get to know us and our experts

International company research

Information on companies can be gathered online in a variety of ways. Foreign commercial registers are only sometimes available free of charge or easy to use. However, relevant information can be found in other sources. In this workshop on international company research, we learned many practical examples of how investigators can successfully reach their goals.
GEOINT - More than Google Maps

In this workshop, we gained valuable insights into alternative map services to Google Maps that can be used more efficiently depending on the region and offer different advantages and into using AI to geolocalise images. We met hidden tools and various portals where card data can be verified again.
Telegram monitoring

We trained in various search options and methods for linking Telegram profiles with real people and got to know useful tools for analysing Telegram, e.g. for finding large groups. We also learned about the possibility of finding connections between Telegram and other profiles or social networks (e.g. Instagram, Facebook) on which the people are also active.
WEBINT - A peek under the bonnet of websites

In this workshop, we learned about effective IP address tracking, removing fake shops much more quickly, and better identifying phishing websites. We have also gained a lot of valuable insights into the information procurement of websites. For example, we can now pay more attention to the fact that mobile vs. desktop views can lead to completely different websites.

We collect reliable evidence with screenseal

Our experts document all other relevant evidence for you that our OSINT research reveals with court-admissible screenshots, including a digital time stamp.

Therefore, we use our screenshot tool screenseal, which is also available for your own use in the Google Chrome Store.
