What This Service Covers
4n6PI conducts social media and open-source intelligence (OSINT) investigations in support of legal proceedings, corporate inquiries, HR investigations, and background due diligence. Investigations focus on locating, preserving, and documenting publicly available social media content and digital footprint data in a manner that is accurate, repeatable, and legally defensible.
Whether you need to identify an anonymous account, preserve social media evidence before it disappears, investigate online harassment, or support an employment matter, 4n6PI applies forensic methodology to open-source environments.
