What is OSINT research?

OSINT, or open-source intelligence, refers to information that is legally and publicly available and can be gathered from websites, public records, social media, business listings, and other open sources to support risk, due diligence, or operational decisions.

Who can benefit from OSINT research?

Businesses, not-for-profits, investigators, and organisations with digital risk, brand awareness, or operational review needs can benefit from structured OSINT research.

How is OSINT different from general web research?

General web research is broad and exploratory. OSINT research is typically structured, targeted, and focused on collecting relevant publicly available intelligence to answer a specific business, risk, or operational question.

Can Byron IT Support assist with digital risk research?

Yes. Byron IT Support can help with targeted digital research, risk awareness review, public information gathering, and practical recommendations informed by open-source intelligence and cyber hygiene principles.
