Overview

In a hyperconnected world, attackers leverage publicly accessible data—social media profiles, leaked documents, exposed cloud buckets, and dark web forums—to craft targeted phishing campaigns, corporate espionage, and identity theft. Many organizations underestimate the risks of their digital footprint, leaving sensitive data, employee details, and infrastructure blueprints exposed online. Our OSINT Security Assessment proactively uncovers and neutralizes these threats, transforming public information from a liability into a strategic defense asset.

What is an OSINT Security Assessment?

An OSINT Security Assessment is a systematic reconnaissance operation where our analysts emulate adversary tactics to harvest and analyze publicly available data about your organization, employees, and infrastructure. Using advanced tools and manual techniques, we identify exposed credentials, shadow IT assets, and inadvertent data leaks that could fuel social engineering, ransomware, or physical security breaches.

Key Focus Areas

We target high-risk exposure points aligned with MITRE ATT&CK Reconnaissance Tactics and dark web intelligence, including:

• ✅ Exposed Credentials & Password Dumps

• Corporate emails, VPN logins, and third-party service keys leaked on dark web markets or paste sites.
  ✅ Sensitive Document Leaks

• Confidential files (e.g., network diagrams, contracts) exposed via misconfigured cloud storage, GitHub repos, or S3 buckets.
  ✅ Employee Social Media Risks

• Overshared technical details, travel plans, or phishing lures via LinkedIn/Twitter.
  ✅ Domain/Subdomain Takeover Vulnerabilities

• Forgotten DNS records, expired cloud instances, or dangling CNAMEs.
  ✅ Dark Web Presence

• Mentions of your brand/data on ransomware forums, Telegram channels, or illicit marketplaces.
  ✅ Physical Security Gaps

• Geolocation data from photos, facility layouts in public bids, or badge system manuals.
  ✅ Third-Party Vendor Risks

• Supply chain exposures (e.g., partner portals, shared API keys).
  ✅ Brand Impersonation

• Fake social media accounts, phishing domains, or counterfeit app clones.

How We Execute OSINT Security Assessments

Our intelligence-driven process mirrors advanced threat actors:

1. Target Profiling

   • Define scope: Domains, executives, subsidiaries, and brand keywords.

2. Surface Web Reconnaissance

   • Scrape search engines, WHOIS records, and business directories for asset mapping.

3. Dark Web Monitoring

   • Scan Tor networks, ransomware blogs, and invite-only forums for stolen data mentions.

4. Cloud & Code Exposure Checks

   • Hunt for exposed AWS keys, hardcoded secrets in GitHub, and public Trello boards.

5. Social Media Analysis

   • Identify high-risk employee posts (e.g., tech stack details, badge photos) using ML-driven tools.

6. Domain/SSL Analysis

   • Detect subdomain takeovers, expired certificates, or typosquatting domains.

7. Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT)

   • Analyze satellite imagery, public permits, or IoT device exposures via Shodan.

8. Phishing Infrastructure Mapping

   • Uncover lookalike domains and fake app stores targeting your brand.

9. Risk Prioritization & Reporting

   • Deliver actionable intelligence with proof-of-exposure (screenshots, leaked data samples).

10. Remediation & Ongoing Monitoring

    • Provide takedown support for leaked data, DNS fixes, and dark web alerting.
