OUR APPROACH

Full Spectrum Intelligence

Bearstone’s intelligence-gathering process combines three complementary methods. Together, these provide our clients with detailed, actionable information.

OSINT (Open Source Intelligence)

OSINT investigations involve the acquisition, analysis and assessment of information drawn from publicly available and proprietary (often referred to as 'closed-source') data sources.

HUMINT (Human Source Intelligence)

HUMINT investigations involve direct and indirect enquiries, conducted discreetly, with human sources who can comment authoritatively on the matters that are of interest to our clients.

Local and Domain Experts

Our select global network of operatives can obtain confidential information that cannot be obtained through traditional investigative means – including information on hidden ownership and beneficiaries, and locations of key investigative targets.
