Why does your organization require OSINT services?
What is OSINT used for in practice? The short answer is: to stay ahead of the competitors. Information obtained in time gives you significant (!) advantages when making important business decisions.
The long answer is that OSINT intelligence is a universal tool for business development. Let us give you a few real examples that will demonstrate the possibilities of open-source intelligence gathering. In all of these examples, Threat Cat's clients gained a competitive advantage that preserved and increased their profits.
Thanks to Threat Cat's open-source intelligence services, the company added two specialists to its board of directors, who quickly raised $20 million in investment. It was a crypto trading company with a big name that we won't mention. There were 20 candidates for the board of directors, but we selected them in three stages. What is necessary for OSINT in this case? Investigation services require expertise. That's why at each stage we engaged researchers with different areas of expertise: crypto trading, financial management, and law. Interestingly, one of the 20 candidates turned out to be a fraudster with an unfinished court case. Thus, a well-timed intelligence report enabled Threat Cat's client to make the right choice based on clear facts and information.
Intelligence is not a panacea for mistakes, but a powerful tool for business development. If you are interested in examples of Threat Cat's work, please Contact us, and we will be happy to provide you with detailed cases as close as possible to your request.

What We Offer
Background Check on a Person

Our comprehensive background reports include biography, business processes analysis, offshore activities, personal contacts, property ownership, public reputation, and associated individuals. We tailor our intelligence services to your specific needs, delivering a final report based on agreed-upon criteria.
What is open-source intelligence (OSINT)?
It's time to once more ask what OSINT stands for. It is a tool for business development. In a broader sense, it is a set of methods and algorithms for obtaining information from open sources.
What is open-source information? This is any information available to all Internet users on the web. The only difference is that Threat Cat's researchers can search for the information you need quickly and professionally.
You can use the collected data in the business, political or economic spheres, or leave it exclusively for private use. However, we would like to emphasize that Threat Cat's researchers do not perform the tasks of so-called "private detectives", most of which consist of collecting information about the actions and movements of ex-partners, ex-wives or ex-husbands. Investigation services from Threat Cat are a powerful investment in business development. They also help in the planning and implementation of military operations.
Phases in open-source intelligence
For example, let's look at an intelligence service such as the background check on a person.
You write us the name of the person you want to investigate.
We conduct a test search, which will not cost you anything. During the test search, we determine whether we can guarantee you the result. The work of Threat Cat's analysts is paid by the hour; the price depends on the complexity of the task and the urgency of its implementation. If necessary, we can work on weekends, but on these days the hourly cost of work increases.
We inform you with the results of the test search. If we can guarantee the result, and you are satisfied with the cost of the work, the deal is done.
When ordering OSINT investigation services, the same rules apply as in any other business area: the larger the task, the lower the hourly cost of performance. The longer we cooperate, the more we strive to create convenient, favorable (!) conditions for each other.
How to use OSINT?
Use the information obtained in the process of intelligence to benefit your business. Or against your competitors, which also means for the benefit of your business. We won't ask you why you need the data, but we will ensure that it is correct and supported by the evidence.
What does an OSINT report look like?
We provide you with a final report within the agreed timeframe, and if we cannot complete the work on time, we notify you and reduce the cost of the work.
