About OSINT Scope
Local expertise. International standards.
OSINT Scope is a Cairo-based strategic research, verification, AI-supported OSINT, and investigative digital journalism company built for practical, real-world public-interest work.
The company is led by a founder who co-founded the BBC Arabic Forensics unit and has extensive hands-on experience in OSINT investigations and investigative reporting for international media.
This work has examined evidence relating to alleged war crimes and conflict incidents in Gaza, Syria, Sudan, Lebanon, and Ukraine, as well as corruption, killings, and other major incidents in locations around the world. The resulting investigations were reported across BBC television, radio, podcasts, online articles, and digital video—bringing strong editorial judgment, field knowledge, and global professional standards to every project.
We work across countries, languages, and sectors, adapting to different legal, political, and media environments while keeping evidence, ethics, and publication value at the centre.
