Organisations often underestimate how much information about their operations, employees, technologies and infrastructure is publicly available online. An Open Source Intelligence Assessment (OSINT) helps identify the organisation’s digital footprint and assess the risks associated with publicly available information.
KPMG specialists analyse open sources to identify information that could be used for cyberattacks, social engineering, fraud or other malicious activities. The assessment helps understand the organisation’s profile from the perspective of a potential attacker and what information could be used to plan targeted attacks.
Value to the organisation:
- helps understand what information about the organisation is publicly available;
- identifies potential risks that could be exploited in cyberattacks;
- reduces the likelihood of social engineering and fraud attacks;
- helps identify cases of information leakage;
- strengthens the organisation’s cyber resilience and security culture;
- provides clear recommendations for managing the digital footprint.
Ideal for organisations that:
- want to understand their public cybersecurity exposure;
- work with sensitive data or critical business processes;
- seek to reduce the risk of social engineering and phishing attacks;
- are preparing for cybersecurity audits or maturity assessments;
- want to assess potential reputational and security risks online.
