The OSINT process
OSINT is a dynamic process requiring ongoing refinement of collection, processing, and analysis as new data and feedback emerge. Like other intelligence methods, it is prone to biases and limitations, demanding careful evaluation and interpretation by trained analysts.
The preparation phase is the assessment of the strategic objectives in the client's request. We identify the most reliable sources of information to provide the best product for your strategic objective.
We collect publicly available information from sources like social media, news articles, government reports, academic papers, and commercial databases.
Collected information is processed to remove duplicates, irrelevant content, and inaccuracies. It is then categorized based on relevance and importance.
The refined information is analyzed to uncover trends, patterns, and relationships. Tools like data visualization, data mining, and natural language processing are often used to extract actionable insights.
The final step is disseminating the intelligence with decision-makers through reports, briefings, or alerts, tailored to the organization's needs.
