STANDARDS & BOUNDARIES
To maintain the highest level of integrity and legal defensibility for our clients, OverWatch Digital Investigations operates within a strictly defined service scope. Our focus is exclusively on open-source intelligence (OSINT), legally accessible public records and professional grade data sources requiring credentialed access.
OverWatch Digital Investigations maintains a specialized focus on intelligence and digital research. To ensure the highest level of detail in our core competencies, we observe the following scope of services:
We specialize exclusively in digital and record-based intelligence. We do not conduct "boots on the ground" physical surveillance or mobile stalking.
Identity-Focused: Our methodology is dedicated to individual history, digital footprint, and behavioral patterns.
No Hacking or Unauthorized Access: We do not bypass passwords, "dox" private individuals, or access non-public accounts. All data is gathered through legal, open-source methods.
No FCRA or Consumer Reporting: We do not provide services for employment, housing, credit, or other decisions regulated under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. All findings are derived from publicly available and legally accessible sources and are not consumer reports.
No Covert or "Undercover" Activity: We do not use pretexting or deceptive tactics to obtain information.
No Immigration or Cross-Border Matters: To avoid conflicts with active federal processes and maintain clear ethical boundaries, we do not accept cases related to immigration status or international disputes.
No Shortcuts: Every investigation is structured to meet a consistent standard of quality, accuracy, and defensibility.
