OSINT

Public-data intelligence — competitor tracking, brand monitoring, trend analysis and verification, the legal way.

OSINT (Open-Source Intelligence) is the disciplined collection and analysis of publicly available data from the internet — websites, social media, directories, public APIs, reviews and registries. No hacking, no private data. We build OSINT systems that feed your business with continuous, structured signal — and pair perfectly with our AI Automation stack.

OSINT
001 — What we deliver

Exactly what you get when we engage.

Data Collection

Scrape and ingest from public websites, business directories, social feeds, marketplaces and open APIs — into one clean, queryable database.

Monitoring

Continuous tracking of brand mentions, competitor activity, prices, news cycles and emerging trends — with alerts when something matters.

Profiling

Structured profiles of competitors, suppliers, customers and markets — built from public footprints across the web.

Trend Analysis

Pattern detection across public datasets — pricing shifts, product launches, hiring signals, sentiment swings and review themes.

Verification

Confirm authenticity of information, identities and businesses against multiple public sources — with provenance and evidence trails.

Fraud & Fake Detection

Detect fake accounts, suspicious listings and review fraud across public platforms before they damage your brand or customers.

004 — How we work

A proven, transparent delivery process.

  1. 01

    Scope

    Define what you need to know, the public sources that hold it, refresh cadence and ethics rules.

  2. 02

    Collect

    Build resilient collectors with rate-limiting, rotation and respectful crawling — no private endpoints, ever.

  3. 03

    Structure

    Clean, deduplicate and store in a queryable database with provenance for every record.

  4. 04

    Analyse

    Apply pattern detection, scoring and AI summarisation to turn raw signal into decisions.

  5. 05

    Deliver

    Dashboards, alerts, reports and APIs — wired into your CRM, Slack, email or website.

005 — FAQs

Questions clients always ask.

Is OSINT legal?

Yes — we only collect publicly available data, we honour robots.txt and rate limits, and we comply with GDPR, Cameroon and applicable data-protection laws. We will never scrape private endpoints, bypass authentication or violate platform terms in a way that creates legal exposure.

How is this different from buying a data tool?

Off-the-shelf tools watch what they decide to watch. We build collectors and dashboards tailored to your industry, your competitors and the questions only your team is asking — and you own the data and the code.

Can OSINT feed our AI?

That is exactly the pattern we recommend. OSINT collects the public signal, our AI Automation layer analyses and acts on it — chatbots get smarter, dashboards get sharper, alerts get more relevant.

What about privacy?

We collect only public data, store the minimum needed, secure it properly and document provenance. Nothing about private individuals is profiled, sold or repurposed.

Can you monitor French and African sources?

Yes — bilingual (English and French) collection and analysis across African media, marketplaces and social platforms is one of our specialities.

★ — Live demo · Market pulse

OSINT, working — right here on this page.

A small backend collector pulls a market pulse from four clearly-public sources every hour, stores it, and serves it through our own JSON endpoint. Same pattern we ship to clients — just shrunk down so you can see the output today.

How this demo works: a PHP collector calls four public APIs / RSS feeds (Hacker News, GitHub Search, Dev.to, BBC Africa), stores results in a single JSON cache and refreshes hourly under a file lock. Same ethics rules we apply on every client engagement — public sources only, identifying user-agent, conservative cadence, no personal data, full provenance per record. See the OSINT FAQs →

★ — Ethics & compliance

Public data only. Lawful. Auditable.

OSINT is powerful, which is exactly why we hold ourselves to a strict, written ethics standard. Every collector we ship operates under these rules — no exceptions, no quiet compromises.

Public sources only

We collect exclusively from publicly accessible sources — open websites, public APIs, public social posts, public registries. No private endpoints, no bypassed authentication, no leaked datasets.

Rate limits & robots.txt

Respectful crawl rates, exponential back-off and full robots.txt compliance — our collectors are designed to be invisible neighbours, not bad ones.

Privacy by design

We minimise personal data collection, never profile private individuals, and store only what your defined use case actually needs — with retention windows, not forever.

GDPR & local law

Built to comply with GDPR, Cameroon Law No. 2010/012, and applicable platform terms. Every record carries provenance — source URL, timestamp, collector — so audits are quick and clean.

★ — Combined capability
