Harness the Power of Public Data: Anticipate Risks, Protect Your Reputation
With CypherLeap's Open-Source Intelligence Gathering (OSINT), we use the vast amount of publicly available information to give your organisation a vital outside perspective. We carefully gather and analyse data from the internet, social media, dark web, and wider open-source platforms.
This identification helps us understand what an attacker could learn about your company, employees, and infrastructure. This proactive intelligence supports your business harness the power of public data, anticipate risks, and protect your reputation, pinpointing potential vulnerabilities in your digital footprint before they can be exploited by malicious actors.
Our OSINT gathering adheres to ethical intelligence collection best practices and often uses the structured approach of the OSINT Framework.
Methodologies
Our intelligence gathering follows a structured, ethical, and repeatable process:
- Passive and Active Reconnaissance
- Deep and Dark Web Monitoring
- Correlation of Data from Open Sources, Social Networks, and Technical Platforms
- Framework-Based Approach (OSINT Framework, MITRE PRE-ATT&CK, etc.)
- Custom Intelligence Reports with Risk Scoring and Recommendations
Why Choose Us
- We simulate post-compromise scenarios to mirror real-world adversary behavior inside your network.
- Our team models how attackers pivot within systems, exploiting misconfigurations and privilege pathways.
- Every finding is mapped to MITRE ATT&CK techniques and scored with CVSS, prioritising what truly matters.
- Get clear, practical steps to close internal security gaps and fortify privileged access pathways.
- Identify trust violations and implicit access flaws that undermine your Zero Trust architecture goals.
Strategic Visibility into Your Internal Security Posture
Unlike perimeter testing, this engagement reveals how deeply an adversary could move within your environment, uncovering vulnerabilities that traditional assessments miss. It gives your security team a strategic edge—by shifting focus from prevention to detection, containment, and response.
Let CypherLeap expose the blind spots threat actors count on so you can strengthen your internal defenses before an actual breach occurs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is OSINT legal and safe for my business?
Yes. Our process complies with global ethical and legal standards. All data is gathered from publicly available sources without breaching access controls or violating privacy laws.
How is OSINT different from a penetration test?
OSINT focuses purely on information gathering and analysis without direct interaction or exploitation. It’s often used as a precursor to penetration testing or red team engagements.
How often should we conduct OSINT assessments?
We recommend quarterly or semi-annual assessments to track changes in your public exposure, especially after new hires, technology rollouts, or data breaches in your industry.
