Skip Trace Investigations

Skilled cyber and OSINT investigation services to locate persons of interest

Open-source intelligence (OSINT) and cyber investigations are often critical to locating witnesses and deceased estate beneficiaries in legal proceedings, debtors in financial recovery actions, and other missing persons. But trawling through social media pages, databases, and other information is a heavy time cost. Further, understanding where to find the correct information and how to bring all the threads together requires skill, especially when being mindful of privacy laws and other legislation that may affect the investigation.

We’re specially trained in cyber and OSINT investigations, and we offer a dedicated skip trace investigation service. It means that when we take on your work, we commit our time, training and experience to your skip trace investigation.

Even better, we’re also document service professionals. Once we’ve located the person, we can serve documents in compliance with relevant legal requirements. It makes the process more efficient for you, freeing your time for other work.

Why should I choose ISG as my skip trace investigator?

Technology is constantly changing, meaning that there are often new methods to locate people. As trained skip trace investigators, we’re committed to keeping our skills updated.

We commit to digging into the task and investigating every avenue, possibility and line of inquiry. We’ve found this to be a highly effective approach to skip tracing. Even better, once this aspect of the investigation is complete, we can continue with a factual investigation, depending on your instructions and requirements. For example, this may include interviewing witnesses for a criminal case or conducting surveillance for a family law case. In these circumstances, we use our content management system to ensure continuity and efficiency.
