Corporate OSINT Arsenal: 200+ Techniques for Due Diligence, Competitive Intelligence, and Business Risk

By Orven Lysar

Most organizations make decisions about suppliers, partners, executives, and acquisition targets based on information that is dramatically less complete than what is publicly available. The intelligence gap is not a data problem. It is a methodology problem. Corporate OSINT Arsenal solves it.

Built around the SCOPE Protocol (Source, Collect, Organize, Pattern, Execute), this is the complete practitioner's guide to open-source intelligence for corporate environments - 200-plus specific techniques organized across every major corporate risk domain.

Read a competitor's product roadmap from their patent filings and job postings 12 to 36 months before they announce it. Detect financial distress in a supplier from SEC filings, UCC records, and audit signals before it becomes a payment failure. Build a complete executive profile from public records, court filings, and regulatory databases that go far beyond any commercial background check. Conduct a 48-hour OSINT sprint on an M&A target that surfaces information not in the data room.

The 17 chapters progress from foundational methodology through domain-specific application to program mastery. The legal and ethical framework is established in Chapter 1 and threaded through every technique. Back matter includes a 32-term glossary, quick-reference tables, a field cheatsheet with Google operators and the Altman Z-Score formula, and five working investigation templates ready to use.

For compliance officers, risk professionals, competitive intelligence analysts, M&A practitioners, supply chain managers, and anyone responsible for decisions that depend on knowing who they are actually dealing with.
