Discover which publicly available data
about your company can be used by cybercriminals
We conduct open-source intelligence (OSINT) to examine all publicly available information about your company, assess the risk of it being used in cyberattacks and prepare recommendations to strengthen security.
WE ARE YOUR PARTNER
Open Source Intelligence (OSINT)
Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) is the legal collection and analysis of information from open sources.
Cybercriminals routinely carry out this kind of intelligence gathering, collecting public data, personal data, information about people and details about infrastructure and systems over many months. We do the same, but in your interest—we examine information about your organization to uncover potential threats and carry out an effective risk assessment.
We check information available
- on social media and business portals,
- in public registers and databases,
- on websites and in press releases,
- in internet archives and data leaks,
- in document and photo metadata.
We use only ethical and legal methods as well as professional intelligence tools. This allows us to ensure full legal compliance and highly effective analysis.
What do you gain from open-source intelligence?
The result of our analysis is a detailed OSINT report showing what information and public data about your company cybercriminals can find in open sources, including publicly available information and internet archives. It also contains concrete recommendations for securing this data so it cannot be used in an attack.
This allows your organization to protect sensitive information before cybercriminals reach it, strengthen privacy protection, reduce the risk of successful social-engineering attacks and avoid costly data leaks, penalties and reputational damage.
Professional intelligence research also supports audit preparation, attack-surface analysis and an understanding of how cybercriminals could use information to plan and carry out attacks.

benefits of OSINT
Why conduct an
OSINT analysis?
Gain a complete picture of which data from public sources may expose your organization to attack.
You detect threats before they become a real problem
Open-source intelligence shows which information helps cybercriminals prepare attacks against your organization. By identifying and securing this data early, you can significantly reduce the likelihood of a successful cyberattack.
You protect key employees from targeted attacks
CEO fraud, spear phishing and attacks on board members all rely on detailed knowledge of a company structure and key people. OSINT shows which information about your staff criminals could use to target them.
You secure strategic projects and information
Competitors and journalists may be interested in different information about your company. OSINT shows what can be inferred about your business strategy from public sources such as industry forums and social media.
You meet data-protection and compliance requirements
Regulations and industry standards require companies to actively protect data. OSINT helps identify places where sensitive data may be unprotected or overexposed. You receive documentation and recommendations ready to present.

Open-source intelligence gathers information from many places. For businesses, business OSINT is increasingly used to assess information security and data security within an organization.OSINT is an important tool supporting information security and risk assessment in organizations of every type. Analyzing open sources helps you understand the real threats, which types of cyberattack may be carried out and which areas require urgent defensive action.OSINT complements processes such as application security audits, technical tests and strategic initiatives including CISO as a Service, providing insight into data available to cybercriminals without interfering with organizational resources.
Open-source intelligence lets us view an organization from the perspective of cybercriminals. We identify privacy gaps, point out weaknesses in security policies and reveal information that could facilitate different types of cyberattack. It is a fast, non-invasive way to diagnose threats and build digital resilience.
What is open-source intelligence (OSINT)?
Open-source intelligence (OSINT) is the process of collecting, analyzing and interpreting data from legal, publicly available sources. Unlike covert methods, OSINT uses open sources such as social media, public registers, internet archives and document metadata. This helps assess which information about a company could be used against it.OSINT is the foundation for assessing threat exposure and understanding how cybercriminals prepare social-engineering, technical and hybrid attacks.Why is open-source intelligence effective?
The effectiveness of OSINT comes from the fact that many modern cyberattacks start with reconnaissance. Cybercriminals analyze data that organizations and their employees leave online: digital activity, organizational structures, system configurations and information available in data leaks.Open-source intelligence lets us view an organization from the perspective of cybercriminals.

What information can be obtained through OSINT?
OSINT provides data that helps assess the security of an organization, its employees and its systems. The analysis determines what information about a company is publicly available and which data could be used in an attack.The most commonly identified information includes:- employees’ personal data and social-media activity,
- information about the company’s structure and processes,
- technical data, configurations and infrastructure fragments exposed online,
- entries in public registers and legal documents,
- data from historical leaks and old website versions available in internet archives,
- employee behavior patterns that could facilitate social-engineering attacks.
Open-source intelligence methods and techniques
The OSINT process uses structured methods that make it possible to find data that is difficult to access but still public. These techniques are legal and based on analyzing available information without interfering with an organization’s systems.The most common OSINT techniques are:- analyzing social-media profiles,
- searching public registers and business information,
- using tools to search metadata in documents and files,
- researching internet archives,
- analyzing data leaks and links between them.
Information security and privacy protection
SECAWA’s open-source intelligence plays a key role in maintaining a high level of information security. It identifies data that could violate employees’ privacy or reveal sensitive details about a company. OSINT enables early action: organizations can update security policies, remove unnecessary data from public spaces and minimize the risk of information being used in an attack. It also complements activities such as application security audits and strategic services like CISO as a Service, creating a fuller picture of the company’s security situation.Build an indestructible cybersecurity culture with our support
