For whom

Clarity before commitment

When a deal, dispute, or personal exposure turns on what is publicly knowable — and what is not.

Business & deals

Counterparties, partners, and acquisitions — background that holds under scrutiny before capital moves.

Legal teams

Source-backed context for counsel: open records, digital footprint, and risk signals that inform strategy.

Private clients & families

Discreet verification where personal, reputational, or relational exposure matters — without noise.

Services

What we examine

Five focused lines of work. No physical security. No operational theatre — analytical advisory only.

Due Diligence

Structured background on entities and individuals — ownership, history, exposure — before you commit.

OSINT Investigations

Open-source collection and verification across public records, media, and digital traces — sourced and dated.

Corporate & Reputational Risk

Mapping how public narrative, associations, and unresolved signals could affect standing or a transaction.

Analytical Advisory

Risk and intelligence advice framed for decision-makers — what matters, what does not, and why.

Cyber Due Diligence

Open-source digital footprint of entities and key people before a deal — leak surfaces, public exposure, attack-surface signals. Not penetration testing. Not MSSP or SOC.

Boundaries

What we do not do

Scope is deliberate. Clarity early saves everyone time.

We do

  • OSINT collection and verification
  • Due diligence on entities and individuals
  • Reputational and corporate risk mapping
  • Analytical advisory for decision-makers
  • Cyber due diligence from open sources

We do not

  • Physical security or guarding
  • Penetration testing as a product
  • Managed SOC / MSSP services
  • Operational theatre
  • Marketing case studies with named clients
Method

How work moves

A disciplined pipeline. Every stage exists so the final brief can be defended — not decorated.

  1. Collect

    Gather relevant open sources within legal and ethical bounds.

    A scoped source map — not a dump.

  2. Verify

    Cross-check claims, timestamps, and provenance before anything is treated as fact.

    Facts you can defend; noise set aside.

  3. Analyze

    Separate signal from noise; weigh relevance against the client's question.

    What matters to your decision — ranked.

  4. Correlate

    Connect entities, timelines, and contradictions into a coherent picture.

    Links and contradictions made visible.

  5. Report

    Deliver a structured brief with sources, confidence, and clear limits.

    A brief ready for counsel or the board.

Deliverable

What leaves the boutique

Not a slide deck of slogans. A readable intelligence product you can act on — or file with counsel.

Structured brief / dossier

Findings organised for decision use: subject framing, verified facts, open questions, and explicit confidence language. Paper/navy house style for the product itself; this site is the public face.

  • Executive framing of the question asked
  • Sourced findings with dates and caveats
  • Risk signals ranked by relevance, not drama
  • Confidence stated where certainty ends
Principles

How we hold the work

Accuracy

Nothing enters a brief without a path back to source — or an explicit note that it cannot.

Confidentiality

Engagements stay closed. No case studies for marketing. No named clients on this page.

Actionable intelligence

Output serves a decision. If it does not change what you do next, it does not belong.

AI-assisted analysis under human verification. Tools accelerate; judgment remains with the analyst.

Credentials

Standards we recruit against

We hire and develop against recognized credential tracks — Israeli licensing where required, and international OSINT / threat-intelligence certifications including SANS SEC587, GIAC GOSI, and GSOA.

SEC587 GOSI GSOA CREST OSC MoJ MoD

Israel — licensing & regulated tracks

MoJ

Misrad HaMishpatim / משרד המשפטים

Private Investigators licensing under the Private Investigators and Guard Services Law, 5732-1972: individual PI license (רישיון חוקר פרטי), investigation office, and PI corporation license. Recognized gov.il tracks for investigators we hire.

gov.il — private investigators
MoD

Misrad HaBitachon / משרד הביטחון

Where engagements require MoD-facing supplier or regulated credential frameworks, we staff against recognized supplier / quality tracks as applicable — not a claim of a dedicated “MoD OSINT license.”

OSINT & threat intelligence

SEC587 GOSI

GIAC GOSI — Open Source Intelligence

SANS SEC587 → GIAC GOSI

Primary OSINT credential track for analysts we hire and develop — SANS SEC587 course paired with the GIAC GOSI exam: methodologies, collection, analysis, and reporting.

GSOA

GIAC GSOA — Strategic OSINT Analyst

Advanced strategic OSINT: automation, large-scale analysis, and elevated investigative tradecraft.

CREST

CREST CPTIA / CRTIA

Practitioner and Registered Threat Intelligence Analyst tracks — structured threat-intelligence competence under CREST.

OSC

OSMOSIS OSC — Open-Source Certification

Portable OSINT competency covering tradecraft, reporting, and legal / ethical frameworks.

Secondary portable tracks (e.g. C|OSINT) may apply by role; they remain secondary to the core bar above.

AI-assisted analysis under human verification remains. Certifications do not replace judgment.

Engagements remain within applicable law. Certifications listed are recognized tracks for analysts and investigators we hire — not a claim that Azguard currently holds every license named.

We hire to this bar

Certified analysts and investigators for a private boutique — not a volume HR portal. Serious inquiries only.
