The digital trace work that underpins every other discipline — exposed directly to clients as point-in-time sweeps, ongoing monitoring, and structured adverse media screening.
Open-source intelligence is the foundation of every Greyline engagement — the discipline that turns a name, a handle, a wallet address, or a leaked document into a structured intelligence picture. This service line is where that work is exposed directly to clients: continuous dark web monitoring for organisations carrying compliance-driven exposure risk, point-in-time dark web sweeps for individuals and businesses, and structured adverse media and background screening for the specific named subjects that compliance and integrity decisions hinge on.
A point-in-time investigation of dark web, paste site, and breach data sources for exposure relating to a named individual or organisation — credentials, leaked personal data, document leaks, and threat-actor mentions. Personal and business tiers available. Delivered as a structured findings report with confirmed exposures, severity ratings, and remediation guidance.
Continuous monitoring of dark web sources for organisational exposure — corporate credentials, brand mentions, executive accounts, intellectual property, document leaks, and threat-actor chatter referencing the client. Ongoing intelligence digest, real-time alerts on confirmed findings, and analyst-led contextualisation rather than raw automated outputs. Differentiated from competitor tools by the analyst layer between the data and the client.
Targeted background checks and adverse media screening on named individuals or entities — for employment, regulatory, partnership, or pre-engagement contexts. Includes sanctions and PEP screening, criminal record search where lawful, civil litigation history, regulatory enforcement actions, and structured adverse media review across UK and international sources. Delivered as a written report formatted to satisfy compliance and audit requirements.
Productised services (Dark Web Sweep) are available immediately via online checkout. Subscription monitoring and adverse media engagements are scoped post-discovery.
