Frequently asked questions
What to know before getting started.
A clear distinction between software, advice and regulated investigative activities helps establish realistic expectations.
Do you still investigate cases for clients?
No. The current activity is dedicated to IT consulting, software development, training and prevention. Research using the tools is undertaken by users themselves or, where necessary, by duly authorised professionals.
Is OSINT knowledge required?
The aim is to make the methods easier to understand. However, each application has its own prerequisites, restrictions and guidance.
Can you help with ordinary IT and business needs?
Yes. Services also include technical assistance, software and website development, SEO, automation and AI integrations.
How do I get a quote?
Describe your request through the Consultation page. Scope, constraints and deliverables can then be reviewed before any agreement.
