Our services
We research publicly available information on relevant contact details and document the comparison with existing data in a manner that is forensically verifiable.
Typical areas of application
This is how a contact details match is carried out
The relevant contact details are cross-checked against publicly available sources using SpiderFoot and structured manual research; matches and discrepancies are documented.
Why is the matching of contact details relevant in a forensic context?
Contradictory or missing contact details can be a key indication of deliberate attempts to conceal one’s identity.
The documented comparison also helps to ensure the traceability of testing processes for internal and external bodies.
