Key Features and Sub-Modules of People and Company Intelligence

1. People Search

   • The People Search sub-module is designed to gather detailed information about individuals using various publicly available data sources. It leverages databases, online profiles, news articles, and other public records to provide a comprehensive understanding of the target individual. This information can include personal details, contact information, social connections, and past activities.
   • Target Person Analysis: This feature goes beyond simple search capabilities and includes tools to track an individual’s public online activity, analyze associations with other people or organizations, and identify potential risks or opportunities.

2. Company Search

   • The Company Search sub-module provides a comprehensive view of businesses by collecting publicly available information about them. It retrieves data from sources like government registries, financial statements, official websites, and media articles. This information is essential for verifying company details, analyzing financial health, and understanding ownership structures.
   • Corporate Relationship Mapping: The module can also map out relationships between companies, such as parent-subsidiary relationships or partnerships, providing users with insights into the broader corporate network that a particular entity is part of. This feature is crucial for identifying potential conflicts of interest, ownership risks, or corporate influence.

3. Facial Recognition and Identification

   • Facial Recognition Search: The module uses advanced facial recognition algorithms to analyze a provided photo and match it with images in various databases, social media profiles, and public sources. This capability allows users to identify individuals even if they do not have specific details like a name or phone number.
   • Database Cross-Reference: Once a match is found, the module cross-references the individual’s image with available databases to collect further information, such as social media accounts, email addresses, phone numbers, and physical addresses. This provides a comprehensive profile of the person in question.
   • Facial Search Across Social Media: The module can search for the individual’s face across multiple social media platforms, helping users identify and track their online activity and assess their digital footprint. This is particularly useful for locating individuals with a strong online presence or uncovering multiple profiles.
   • Enhanced Data Correlation: The information gathered through facial recognition is then correlated with other data sources, allowing users to create a unified profile that includes social connections, addresses, and other identifiable information. This helps intelligence teams build a detailed understanding of the individual’s activities and affiliations.

4. HLR Lookup (Home Location Register Lookup)

   • The HLR Lookup sub-module is used to obtain real-time information about the status of a phone number, such as whether it is active or which network it belongs to. This feature is helpful for verifying contact details for individuals and companies and ensuring that collected phone numbers are accurate and up-to-date.
   • Phone Number Validation: Users can also use this feature to validate phone numbers related to potential leads, target individuals, or companies. This allows for better communication, efficient lead validation, and reduced fraudulent interactions.

5. Identity Verification and Risk Analysis

   • The module provides tools to verify the identities of individuals and the legitimacy of companies. By leveraging cross-platform checks and public records, it helps ensure that gathered information is reliable. This feature is crucial for fraud prevention and due diligence, especially in industries like finance, legal services, or employment verification.
   • Risk Profiles: Users can generate detailed risk profiles of individuals and companies. These profiles include information on past criminal records, lawsuits, or other activities that may indicate reputational risks. This helps organizations assess and mitigate the risks associated with partnerships or hiring decisions.

6. Relationship and Influence Network Analysis

   • Social Network Mapping: The module can build a network map of relationships between individuals and companies. By analyzing connections across social media, public data, and other sources, users can identify key influencers, detect hidden associations, and determine the social reach of individuals and organizations. This is particularly useful for identifying indirect relationships or hidden influences within corporate structures or social circles.
   • Data Visualization: Relationship analysis can be visually represented through network graphs, allowing users to better understand the links and influence between multiple entities. This visual representation can be valuable for detecting previously unseen patterns or potential areas of concern.

7. Corporate Data Monitoring

   • Continuous Monitoring: The Company Search sub-module also includes the ability to set up monitoring for specific companies. Users can receive alerts when there are changes in a company’s legal status, financial data, new executive appointments, or even major news coverage. This helps users stay informed about developments that might impact business or operational decisions.
   • Financial Intelligence: By analyzing financial data, users can obtain a better understanding of a company’s financial health. This includes monitoring revenue trends, funding rounds, acquisitions, and other key financial indicators to gauge the stability and growth prospects of an organization.

8. People and Company Intelligence for Investigative Purposes

   • The People and Company Intelligence module is particularly well-suited for investigative purposes. Users can gather detailed background information on individuals and companies to support investigations, verify facts, and identify potential leads.
   • Data Correlation: Users can correlate data from both people and company searches to discover potential associations between individuals and entities. This correlation can help reveal fraudulent schemes, collusion, or other unlawful activities.

Use Cases and Applications

1. Investigative Intelligence and Due Diligence

   • The module allows organizations and agencies to conduct thorough due diligence checks on individuals and companies. By gathering background information, validating contact details, and analyzing relationships, users can verify the legitimacy of a person or business partner, reducing risks and avoiding fraud.

2. Identity Verification and Enhanced Tracking

   • Using the Facial Recognition Search, users can identify individuals across different databases, find their social media profiles, and validate personal information like addresses and phone numbers. This makes it easier for organizations to track persons of interest, authenticate identities, and identify multiple online personas.

3. Risk Assessment and Network Mapping

5. Early Warning and Continuous Monitoring

   • By continuously monitoring selected individuals or companies, organizations can stay informed about changes in their status or activities. This helps provide an early warning of potential risks, such as legal disputes, changes in ownership, or deteriorating financial health.
