Background check on a person

This is Threat Cat's fastest and most popular service. Of all the private intelligence services, it is the background check services that people need most often. They say: I need to look up a person's background, meaning to find person's contacts and personal data for study. Threat Cat's OSINT analysts call this service a background search using open databases. Since this is public information, and it is collected confidentially, no law violations take place.

Unlike online background check services, Threat Cat's individual background check provides much more data. In addition to information from social networks, sites with registration, and other quick sources, it includes property, legal information, information on related parties, including relatives, financial data, negative information, public statements, and other specific data that only an analyst can find, analyze, and provide. In both cases, we are talking about OSINT person search, but Threat Cat's results are much larger, deeper, and broader than those of an online background verification. Instead, automated tools cost almost nothing and can be useful, for example, for sales managers or recruiters.

Why is it important to conduct a background check?

Let's look at the 3 most common reasons why you might need to check people's background.

1. Your potential business partner may hide negative information about previous projects, unfinished court cases, non-fulfillment of duties, etc.
2. A potential job candidate can present themselves beautifully, but he or she can also hide unpleasant facts about previous work experience. You can order a background search to be well advised about all the advantages and disadvantages of the person before hiring. When you look up a person's background, you see the real picture.
3. Your competitor has weaknesses that can help you gain an advantage over them in business. A background search using open databases will reveal all potential weaknesses of your competitor.

Of course, you may have your own reasons for ordering background check services from Threat Cat analysts, but we do not need to know about them. We value your privacy. It should be mentioned that anyone may need a background verification, but most often it's businessmen who order a background search: both individual (search for competitor's identity) and mass (checking many candidates for a position).

Background check services for individuals

This includes checking a specific person, his or her biography, financial indicators, legal obligations, searching for property, companies registered to the person, searching for contacts, checking relatives, closest partners, and so on. We would like to emphasize that Threat Cat does not perform background search randomly – there is no point in collecting all the information if you are only interested in a specific aspect of his or her biography. Before providing you with the background check service, we will negotiate with you the kind of information you need about a person and build our work based on your request.

Background check services for legal entities

People understand different things by this wording. If we are talking about a linear check, meaning that you need to establish whether any legal entities belong to a specific person – then yes, this is part of a person's background search. But if you need to check the legal entity itself, i.e. study the company, its activities, connections, and counterparties, in this case this is more about a corporate intelligence service.

We will fulfill your request in any case, we just need to detail and formulate it clearly before starting work. So that you get exactly the result you need.
