Professional investigation concept

Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) Services

We specialise in uncovering facts using public sources, everything from online records and social media to news archives and open databases. Our OSINT investigation services support a variety of activities such as background checks, legal or civil cases, digital risk assessments, and more.

Digital research concept

Whether you need to verify someone's identity, understand online risks, or gather evidence, we work methodically and with total discretion. Accuracy and confidentiality are always at the heart of what we do as licensed private investigators in New Zealand.

Online Fraud & Scam Investigations

Online scams are increasingly common, and anyone can become a target. We investigate a wide range of online fraud, including phishing, investment scams, fake websites, romance and impersonation scams, and identity theft.

If you believe you've been scammed or are dealing with suspicious activity, it's vital to report the incident as soon as possible to the proper authorities. You can find out more about this here: New Zealand Police and Netsafe for support and guidance.

Online security concept

Once reported, we can assist by tracing digital footprints, collecting evidence, and helping you understand what happened, giving you information that may support recovery and/or future prevention. We always work confidentially and with your best interests in mind.

"Cutting through the lies to protect what matters."

People Locating & Reconnection Services

People connection concept

Whether you're searching for a missing family member, an old friend or a witness, we combine digital research with real-world investigative techniques to find people across New Zealand and beyond.

Every missing person search is approached with empathy, sensitivity, and discretion. We respect the privacy and wellbeing of everyone involved, and we'll always keep you updated as we work to reunite people or deliver answers.

"Bringing people back together, one case at a time."

Discreet Investigations & Background Checks

Some matters need to be handled quietly and carefully. We provide confidential investigations for sensitive situations, including:

  • Comprehensive background checks for individuals or businesses
  • Locating and interviewing witnesses
  • Discreet inquiries for civil, legal, or professional matters
Professional work concept

Every case is managed lawfully, respectfully, and with the strictest confidentiality. Our aim is to get you the answers you need, without unnecessary exposure or risk.

"Getting the truth, quietly and professionally."

Tailored Investigative Solutions

Every case is different, and we understand that your situation might not fit into a standard category. We're open to considering any investigative matter, no matter how unique or complex it may be. If you have a concern or challenge that needs looking into, get in touch. We'll listen, assess your needs, and let you know honestly if and how we can help.
