Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) Training and Consultation

Training programs and workshops on OSINT techniques
SKA offers tailored training for organisations, security teams, and private clients - ranging from foundational skills to advanced investigative methods used in professional intelligence environments.

Our programs now incorporate case-based learning drawn from the Spectrum Database, exposing trainees to live methodologies, threat modelling, and the integration of OSINT with HUMINT and SIGINT workflows. Trainees gain hands-on experience with tools, tactics, and digital environments used in real-world investigations - safely and legally.

Companies are increasingly targeted by fraudsters, activists, competitors, and cybercriminals - and the warning signs usually surface online long before they hit the headlines. Yet most businesses lack the in-house expertise to identify and interpret these signals. Building a dedicated intelligence unit is often impractical, but training existing staff to think and act like investigators gives businesses a defensive edge. SKA’s OSINT training equips teams with the mindset and skills to detect threats, vet counterparties, and protect reputations - all without breaching legal or ethical boundaries. 

Benefits:

• Practical skill-building: Staff learn hands-on OSINT methods that can be applied immediately.

• Enhanced threat detection: Spot hostile activity, disinformation, or fraud attempts early.

• Due diligence support: Strengthen vetting of partners, vendors, or hires through online research.

• Reputation protection: Monitor digital chatter and respond proactively to reputational risks.

• Self-sufficiency: Reduce reliance on external investigators for routine checks and monitoring.

• Operational resilience: Build a culture of intelligence awareness across departments.

• Legal & ethical compliance: Training reinforces safe, lawful methods for online investigation.

• Customised programs: Modules tailored to sector-specific risks, from finance to supply chain.

• Integration with other disciplines: Learn how OSINT complements HUMINT, SIGINT, and corporate security.

• Confidence in decision-making: Equip executives and managers with reliable, verifiable information streams.
