Why do I need to conduct background checks, due diligence, or social media profiling to manage risk of my business or organization?

Whether legally obligated in a merger or acquisition, or voluntarily sought to protect reputation, or to reduce corporate and personal liability, comprehensive intelligence gathering is critical to a well-established process of background inquiry. Open-source intelligence (OSINT) varies from country to country but generally includes criminal, civil, and open-source records. Social media analysis and Dark web searches also help organizations learn more about potential persons or entities of interest.
