Social intelligence & OSINT
About
Analyse digital opinion, learn about communities and influencers, and legally access open information available on the web, the deep web and the dark web.
Cyberspace monitoring and analysis are essential for decision-making by organisations and their leaders. Social media, websites, forums, search engines and generative AI for the general public are all places where people can find, share and disseminate information, engage, campaign or entertain themselves.
We deploy a tailored and comprehensive monitoring system for you across the three layers of the web – the clear web, the deep web and the dark web. This will enable you to measure and anticipate your e-reputation, activist and societal risks. It will also allow you to stay alert to opportunities and adapt your communication strategies accordingly.
Our team of social intelligence and OSINT experts, trained in economic intelligence and humanities and political sciences, will work closely with you to support you in facing hybrid threats and in your strategic decisions.
Through the collection, analysis and processing of large volumes of online data, open source intelligence (OSINT) research and analysis, and digital social analysis, we carry out opinion and social trend analyses, stakeholder mapping and contextualised alerts.
Services included in the offer
- Stakeholder mapping and conversation mapping

- Contextualised alerts (weak signals, potential or imminent risk, etc.)

Is accessing dark web information legal?
Yes, when it concerns open information used within a legal framework, which NSI guarantees. Our OSINT methods strictly comply with applicable law to access data available on the web, deep web and dark web, supporting reliable and ethical analysis.
Why does social intelligence matter for a company?
