This post-graduate program is developed for professionals who want to apply OSINT at an advanced level within investigation, analysis and intelligence. It fits a wide range of fields in which reliable information from open sources is essential.

Financial sector

For KYC and CDD analysts and professionals in AML/CFT, compliance and sanctions investigation. You learn to use open sources systematically to investigate people, organizations and business relationships, to uncover ownership and control structures and to make the relevant networks visible. Findings are carefully analyzed, verified and recorded, so they can be used in customer due diligence and case building.

Government

For professionals at the FIU, regulators, inspection services and other government organizations. You learn to turn public information into actionable intelligence for supervision, enforcement and investigation. From recognizing and enriching a first signal to building a substantiated information picture on which further analysis or action can be based.

Law enforcement

For detectives, police officers and enforcement officers who want to deepen their digital investigation methods. You learn to work safely and shielded with attention to Operational Security (OpSec), to apply advanced search and investigation techniques and to retrieve relevant information that regular search methods often leave out of sight.

Fraud investigation

For fraud investigators, fraud control coordinators, claims experts and other professionals who investigate possible fraud or deception. You learn to test statements, claims and reports against information from open sources, to investigate digital traces around people and organizations and to make connections and inconsistencies visible. Central to this is an auditable and carefully documented investigative approach.
