Verifying supplier compliance using OSINT – conducting forensic research into publicly available supplier information
As part of supply chain due diligence, companies are increasingly obliged to screen their business partners for specific risks, and publicly available information can play a key role in this process.
As part of existing compliance audits, we carry out structured research into publicly available information relating to a relevant supplier.

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 investigate publicly available information relating to a relevant supplier to identify any apparent compliance-related irregularities and document the findings in a manner that is forensically verifiable.
Typical areas of application
How a supplier compliance check is carried out
Publicly available sources such as registers, press articles and sanctions lists are searched in a structured manner for information relating to the relevant supplier; any apparent anomalies are documented.
Why is supplier compliance due diligence relevant from a forensic perspective?
Documented research helps to demonstrate compliance with statutory supply chain due diligence obligations.
Identifying irregularities at an early stage can also help to avoid financial or legal risks for your own company.
