Check for duplicate insurance using OSINT – Investigate publicly available evidence of multiple insurance policies

In certain cases, publicly available information – such as details of items that have been offered or advertised on multiple occasions – may indicate that the same incident has been insured more than once.

Enquire without obligation

As part of existing insurance investigations, we carry out structured searches for such publicly available information.

This is how a double insurance check is carried out

Publicly accessible sources, such as sales platforms or registers, are searched in a structured manner for references to the same insured item or circumstance; any results found are documented, including the source and a timestamp.

Why is the investigation into double insurance cover relevant in a forensic context?

Publicly documented evidence can provide important leads for the insurer’s further investigation of an insurance claim.

Documentation that can be verified through forensic analysis also provides support in the event of any subsequent legal proceedings.
