At Red Dragon Private Investigations, we specialise in OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) and SOCMINT (Social Media Intelligence)—powerful techniques used to uncover valuable digital information from publicly available sources.
Originally developed for military and law enforcement purposes, OSINT and SOCMINT provide fast, cost-effective, and comprehensive insights that can be used in both private and commercial investigations. Our digital forensic experts have experience working with UK law enforcement agencies, constabularies, and government departments, ensuring a highly specialised, results-driven approach.
Why Hire a Digital Forensic Investigator?
OSINT and SOCMINT investigations offer:
- Access to vast amounts of online data quickly and efficiently.
- Cost-effective intelligence gathering compared to traditional surveillance.
- Crucial insights for both individuals and businesses—from tracking online threats to verifying digital identities.
- Discreet, legal methods to uncover online activity, connections, and behaviours.
Whether you need to protect against digital threats, gather intelligence on a person, or uncover hidden online information, our team has the skills and tools to find the digital needle in the haystack.
How to Get Started
Every case is different, but to begin, we typically require:
- Usernames or email addresses associated with the subject.
- Social media accounts they follow or engage with.

If you’re unsure what information is needed, don’t worry—we’ll guide you through the process.

Once we begin, we typically deliver a provisional report within 7–10 working days. If required, we can then compile a court-ready forensic online report with detailed analysis and legally admissible evidence.
