Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) is intelligence produced from publicly available information (PAI) that is collected, exploited and disseminated in a timely manner to an appropriate audience for the purpose of addressing specific intelligence requirements.
While serving with the Department of Defense overseas, Buddy Jericho, CEO and Founder of Echo Analytics Group, quickly realized the significant impact social media was having across the world. The volume of information and media being uploaded to the internet everyday created a significant reliability challenge for Buddy and his colleagues. He went to work developing research methods and technology to assist in quickly finding and analyzing reliable information.
From his efforts came the Discover, Develop, Monitor (D2M™) methodology for OSINT research and analysis, and in 2015, laid the groundwork for what has grown into Echo Analytics Group.

Tools & resources at our disposal
We treat every background check like a custom investigation and we never outsource or automate data. Our team of experienced OSINT professionals handle each and every Echo Operations service. Whether you’re looking for some basic information, or you have very specific requirements, we can empower you with the information you need to make an informed decision.
Our expert-taught OSINT courses will empower you to increase your research capabilities while decreasing the turnaround times you need to obtain meaningful information.
Discover
Analysts gather publicly available information from various sources that support the research objective. This requires a rigorous methodology to target the precise information needed, provide operational protections, and create audit trails to demonstrate all steps during research and information collection.
Develop
Analysts verify, validate, and document information for accuracy and relevance. This phase includes deep diving users, places and events uncovered during the discover phase.
Monitor
Enables analysts to visualize activities and interactions within an operating environment through statistical charts, event boards, geospatial applications, link analysis and many others. Analysts establish scenario outcomes, their respective indicators and develop triggers to reveal a likely outcome, allowing prompt decisions.
Our Cyber Intelligence Dashboard (CID) aligns with our proprietary Discover, Develop, Monitor (D2M™) research methodology. Inside, you’ll find more than 1,000 neatly organized tools and data sets to perform your OSINT research.
