The Organisation

NetWatch Global is a trusted leader in open-source intelligence (OSINT) and social-media investigations, combining advanced technology with expert human analysis. We specialise in providing powerful and actionable intelligence which our clients either rely on to make effective decisions or as evidence in court. Our approach removes the delays and uncertainty with traditional investigative processes, and our departments conduct over 10,000 investigations across our client base in the insurance, legal, and law enforcement sectors. We have also built a bespoke intelligence platform, Rapid, which allows our clients to order intelligence quickly and efficiently, as well as provide the team with enhanced methods of locating hard-to-find online data. Plus, we are part of The Surveillance Group - The largest and most successful covert surveillance and investigation company in the UK.

Our analyst team, specifically, is made up of over 30 expert investigators who uncover critical digital evidence, for example exposing fraudulent insurance claims by linking social media and activity data, identifying new witnesses that the police are unaware of, or even cracking large counterfeiting networks for FMCG partners. All whilst championing practices in data privacy and legal standards, making our intelligence reliable and respectably sourced.
