Business intelligence · OSINT · open-source analysis
Intelligence is the core of every service we offer
Investigative audit, detective work and the protection of classified information all rest on one skill: gathering and verifying information lawfully. Lykta Wywiad is that core — and a standalone OSINT service for companies, institutions and law firms.
The idea
One skill, four applications
Beneath each of our services lies the same question: what can be established lawfully, and how to verify it so the result will stand up. Only the purpose of the reconnaissance changes.
Intelligence and OSINT
Reconnaissance of an entity, a person or an entire organisation from open sources. Counterparty due diligence, exposure-surface analysis, personal due diligence and monitoring. Delivered as a standalone service.
lyktawywiad.pl → Application 01Investigative audit
In examining fraud and irregularities, intelligence reveals the connections, conflicts of interest and flows that the accounting records alone do not show.
lyktaofficial.eu → Application 02Detective services
In commercial and private matters, open-source analysis directs field work and helps establish assets, whereabouts or the background of a counterparty.
lyktadetektyw.pl → Application 03Information protection
In protecting classified information we run the same reconnaissance against the client's own organisation — to see what an attacker sees, before they use it.

Reconnaissance run the way an attacker would — on your side
We retrace the path someone preparing an attack, a fraud or a lawsuit would take — but we do it on your instruction and in your interest. The result shows what can be established about you, your counterparty or your organisation without breaking the law.
- Counterparty due diligence — who really stands behind an entity, its history and connections, before you sign.
- Exposure surface — what your organisation unwittingly reveals: domains, systems, documents, staff data.
- Personal due diligence — a reliable, documented background on a candidate, partner or party to proceedings.
- Monitoring and early warning — an alert when something relevant to your security changes around an entity.
Why us
Intelligence that stands up to scrutiny
Lawful sources only
We work with public, openly available information. We do not hack, plant listening devices or buy illegally obtained databases. Material obtained otherwise is worthless anyway.
Every fact from an independent source
Each finding is confirmed against at least two independent sources. Anything we could not confirm is described as a hypothesis, not a fact. We cite sources and dates.
Experience from both sides
Over twenty years in internal control, audit and risk analysis. We know what reconnaissance against an organisation looks like, because we have also run it in defence.
A report ready for a decision
A concise summary of risks on the first page, followed by a relationship map and full findings with sources. In a form you can put before a board, a supervisory committee or a court.
Complete confidentiality
Every engagement is handled under a non-disclosure agreement. We never name clients as references without consent — the fact of an engagement can itself be sensitive.
A repeatable methodology
An eight-stage process, the same for every matter. The client knows what will be checked, and in what order, before we begin.
Find out what can be established about you
Describe briefly who or what needs reconnaissance and the decision it will support. We will tell you what can realistically be established from open sources, by when and at what cost.
