Lawful collection and analysis of information to support business decisions, risk management, and protective security
Intelligence gathering is the systematic collection, processing, and analysis of information from lawful sources to produce actionable insights. In a commercial context, this supports informed decision-making on matters such as market entry, partnership evaluation, competitive positioning, and threat awareness. Our service focuses on open-source intelligence (OSINT), publicly available records, and lawfully obtained information. We do not engage in unlawful interception, hacking, or covert methods that breach UK law.
This service is designed for UK businesses, legal professionals, and organisations requiring reliable information to support strategic or operational decisions. Typical clients include corporate entities evaluating potential partners or acquisitions, legal teams preparing for litigation, investors conducting pre-transaction research, and security managers assessing emerging threats. The service is not available for purposes that are unlawful, harassing, or intended to cause harm.
All intelligence gathering activities are conducted in full compliance with UK law, including the Data Protection Act 2018, UK GDPR, the Computer Misuse Act 1990, and the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (RIPA). We do not access private systems, intercept communications, or engage in surveillance without lawful authority.
We are registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) and operate under strict ethical guidelines. Intelligence products are designed to withstand legal scrutiny and are suitable for use in regulated environments.
Engagements begin with a detailed briefing to establish the scope, objectives, and parameters of the intelligence requirement. We then conduct research using appropriate sources, applying analytical frameworks to assess reliability and relevance. Findings are cross-referenced and validated before being compiled into a structured report. A debrief session is offered to explain the findings and address questions. Timescales vary according to complexity—standard enquiries are typically completed within 5–10 working days.
Contact us for a confidential discussion about your information needs. We provide clear guidance on scope, feasibility, and appropriate approaches.
