Due Diligence - Open Source (OSINT)



Professional Intelligence Gathering Services for Businesses, Attorneys, and Private Clients

Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) is the process of collecting, analyzing, and verifying information from publicly available and legally obtainable sources. Effective OSINT investigations require far more than a simple internet search. They involve systematic research, analytical expertise, and the ability to connect information from multiple sources to reveal a complete and accurate picture.

In today's rapidly evolving threat landscape, making informed decisions requires more than assumptions—it requires accurate, verified intelligence. At Paul McCaghren and Associates, we provide comprehensive Intelligence Gathering and Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) Investigative Services that deliver not just the critical information our clients need to reduce risk, protect assets, and make confident decisions, but more importantly, we identify, analyze and organize the information according to its relevance in relation to the Client's objective. 

The result is a concise, professionally prepared due diligence intelligence report designed to help the client understand:

What we found.

Why it matters.

What may require additional investigation.

Our investigators conduct comprehensive intelligence gathering utilizing:

•         Open-source databases

•         Internet and public records research
