Osintly helps collect and organize open-source intelligence. Final decisions remain the responsibility of the investigation team.
OSINT data can be incomplete, outdated, or ambiguous. Always validate critical findings with independent sources before operational, legal, or HR decisions.

​
Security principles

Limit distribution of sensitive search context and share only what collaborators need.
Use team roles (owner/admin/editor/viewer) to limit sensitive actions to authorized users.
Keep investigations inside projects and history so actions and findings remain auditable.

​
Data handling in investigations

1

Minimize personal data usage

Search only identifiers required for the investigation scope.
2

Separate fact from inference

Record raw evidence and analyst interpretation as separate notes.
3

Preserve context

Keep source references, timestamps, and result exports for reproducibility.
4

Review before sharing

Remove irrelevant personal details when exporting or sharing results externally.

​
Compliance checklist

Use this checklist before formal reporting:
  • Lawful basis and internal authorization confirmed
  • Scope and purpose documented
  • Critical findings cross-verified
  • False-positive risk assessed
  • Share/export audience validated

​
Product boundaries

Search launch and streaming UI, result history, monitoring workflows, collaboration features, and export options exposed by the interface.
