OSINT, asset tracing, and digital evidence — engineered for
Standard background checks are no longer enough. Subjects, counterparties, and witnesses now leave digital trails across encrypted services, offshore structures, and AI-generated content. Off-the-shelf investigation tools were not built to follow them.
Our Core Legal Capabilities
- 🔍 Asset Tracing & Recovery
Locate undisclosed physical and digital assets across global jurisdictions. We map shell companies, offshore holdings, and crypto-asset movements to support high-value recovery. - 👤 Witness & Subject Backgrounds
Go beyond a standard CRB check. We analyse years of digital footprints, social metadata, and historical records to verify credibility or identify potential conflicts of interest. - 💾 Digital Evidence Recovery
Extract and preserve actionable data from the open web (OSINT). We specialise in recovering "deleted" or obscured digital trails that prove intent or timeline discrepancies. - 🛡️ Due Diligence for M&A
Protect your clients from reputational risk. Our deep-web audits identify "skeletons" in corporate structures before the deal is signed.

🛡️ About Blackout Intelligence
Precision Intelligence. Absolute Discretion.
Blackout Intelligence was founded to solve a critical gap in the corporate and legal sectors: the failure of traditional investigative methods to keep pace with the digital age. While the world moved to complex, encrypted, and AI-driven data structures, "standard" private investigations remained stuck in the past. We changed that.
The Intelligence-First Philosophy
We don't just "search" for data—we engineer pathways to find it. Our team combines decades of experience in operational intelligence with cutting-edge software development. By building our own proprietary infrastructure, including Project Chronos and Agent Audit™, we provide a level of depth that off-the-shelf tools simply cannot match.
We operate at the intersection of human expertise and machine learning, ensuring that our clients—from Magic Circle law firms to global Private Equity funds—receive intelligence that is:
- Actionable: We don't just provide data; we provide conclusions.
- Defensible: Every piece of intelligence is gathered using GDPR-compliant, ethically sourced OSINT methodologies.
- Invisible: We operate with total discretion, ensuring our audits never alert the subject or compromise the client’s position.
Our Infrastructure At the heart of our firm is a suite of custom-built AI applications designed for high-stakes environments:
- Nexus Intelligence: Our central hub for cross-referencing global data points.
- The Deepfake Lab: Specialized analysis to detect and neutralize synthetic media threats.
- Tactical OSINT: Real-time monitoring of digital footprints to protect High-Net-Worth (HNW) individuals and corporate reputations.
