OSINT Profiling
Open-Source Intelligence. Analysed | Verified. Forensically Captured Court-Ready.
Open-source intelligence (OSINT) transforms publicly available data into actionable, verified intelligence. Using industry-leading platforms including Maltego and Social Links, ODM Legal Services conducts professional OSINT investigations for law firms, corporate clients, and individuals who need reliable intelligence gathered lawfully and to evidential standards.
What is OSINT Profiling?
Open-source intelligence (OSINT) is the collection, analysis, and verification of information derived from publicly available sources — including social media platforms, online databases, public records, corporate registries, the dark web, and the wider internet. When conducted by trained investigators using professional-grade tools, OSINT produces verified, structured intelligence that is admissible in legal proceedings and suitable for use in commercial decision-making.
ODM Legal Services uses Maltego — the industry-standard platform for link analysis and data visualisation — together with Social Links, the leading social media intelligence solution, to conduct comprehensive OSINT investigations. Our investigators are trained in the lawful and ethical use of these platforms, and all enquiries are conducted in strict compliance with the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018, and the ABI Code of Conduct.

Our OSINT Platforms
Maltego
Maltego is the world's leading platform for open-source intelligence and link analysis. It aggregates data from hundreds of sources and visualises relationships between entities — people, organisations, domains, IP addresses, and more — enabling investigators to identify connections and patterns that would be invisible through conventional research. ODM Legal Services uses Maltego to map corporate networks, trace individuals, and build comprehensive intelligence pictures for litigation and due diligence.
Social Links
Social Links is the premier social media intelligence platform, providing deep access to data from over 500 social networks, messengers, and blockchain sources. It enables investigators to profile individuals and organisations across social media, monitor online activity, trace cryptocurrency transactions, and access dark web data — all within a lawful, structured framework. ODM Legal Services uses Social Links to conduct social media profiling, dark web monitoring, and cryptocurrency tracing investigations.

How We Work
We begin with a confidential consultation to understand the intelligence requirement, the subject's known details, the legal context, and the specific questions the investigation needs to answer. This allows us to scope the OSINT investigation appropriately, select the right tools and data sources, and provide a clear cost estimate before any enquiries commence.
Our investigators conduct structured OSINT enquiries using Maltego and Social Links, aggregating and cross-referencing data from multiple open sources. All activity is conducted within the legal framework governing open-source intelligence in the UK, and we apply strict data minimisation principles throughout — collecting only the information that is necessary, relevant, and proportionate to the stated purpose.
On completion, we deliver a clear, structured intelligence report accompanied by supporting evidence, link analysis visualisations, and source references. Reports are prepared to evidential standards and are suitable for use in court proceedings, commercial negotiations, and regulatory investigations.
Lawful, Ethical Open-Source Intelligence
All OSINT investigations carried out by ODM Legal Services are conducted strictly within the framework of UK law, including the Data Protection Act 2018, the UK GDPR, and the Computer Misuse Act 1990. As members of the Association of British Investigators (ABI), we adhere to the ABI Code of Conduct and operate to the highest professional and ethical standards. We do not conduct OSINT investigations that are unlawful, disproportionate, or contrary to the rights of the individual being investigated, and we apply data minimisation principles throughout every enquiry.
