Documenting reputation monitoring using forensic methods – Recording public mentions in a structured manner
Public references to a company or an individual in the press, online forums and social media can provide relevant insights in the context of existing reputation or crisis situations.
As part of an existing case, we systematically record public mentions and document their development in a manner that is forensically verifiable.

Since its foundation, LanCologne has specialised in professional IT forensics. Our staff have decades of experience in the field of information technology and assist companies, solicitors, private individuals and, on a regular basis, the courts in the technical investigation of complex digital matters.
Our OSINT investigations are always carried out as a complementary component to existing IT forensic, legal or internal corporate enquiries. Every step of the investigation and every piece of digital evidence found is documented and, where technically possible, archived to ensure traceability even if the original online content is subsequently altered or deleted.
Our services
We research publicly available references to a relevant organisation or individual and document their content, source and chronological sequence in a manner that can be verified through forensic analysis.
Typical areas of application
How forensic reputation monitoring works
Relevant public sources are checked for mentions of the relevant organisation or person using SpiderFoot and structured manual research; findings are documented with a timestamp, source and context.
Why is forensic reputation monitoring important?
Structured documentation of the chronological progression of public mentions can provide important insights into how to assess a reputational crisis.
Furthermore, the forensically verifiable backup of such content is relevant in the event of a potential dispute under press law.
