This is a foundation module that provides essential information relating to the security and safety of an investigation, the security and safety of the OSINT practitioners and their employers, so that processing shall be lawful and the investigation product shall be reliable for legal purposes.
Introduces and explains the prevailing privacy legislation that relates to the processing of Personally Identifiable Information and its implications from the perspective of an OSINT practitioner.
Introduces and explains the predominant operational security (OpsSec) that relates to OSINT concerning footprints and fingerprints.
Introduces Synthetic Identities, explains why and how we use them, including any legal considerations and demonstrated how to create, manage and deploy Synthetic Identities.
The practitioners will understand their legal obligations for the safe processing of OSINT Investigations. They will understand and know how to deploy and process an OSINT investigation safely and securely, so that the investigation itself is protected and both the investigator and the authorising organisation, which is usually the employer of the OSINT investigator, is also protected.
