People and business partners
Research relevant public profiles, published records and company information about people and businesses you may work with. Findings include sources and context; a name alone does not establish a match.
Public information searches
Know who you’re doing business with.
Look into the people and companies you may work with, review a vendor’s public footprint or request a passive security scan. We bring relevant public information together so you can ask better questions before making a commitment.

Start with a conversation. Scope and deliverables agreed before work begins.
What can a public information search tell you?
A public information search brings together relevant findings about a person, business partner, vendor or domain from public sources. Vectari agrees the decision and questions the research should support, then provides findings with source context and limitations. Public research can inform vendor reviews; evidence requests and ongoing vendor management are separately scoped.
Sound familiar?
You’re not the only
one facing this.
You are considering a new business partner or vendor. Their website and sales conversation tell one story, but you want to understand what else is publicly available before you commit your money, share information or grant access.
What working together looks like
Practical work.
Clear deliverables.
Vendors and suppliers
Review a vendor’s public footprint and identify questions that need follow-up. Use the findings alongside information the vendor provides and the role they will have in your business.
Passive security scans
Review publicly available information about domains and internet-facing systems for signs of exposure. This can support a review of your own business or a prospective vendor; active testing is separately scoped.
What you receive
Relevant findings and source references, what each finding establishes and what remains uncertain, and questions to follow up. For vendor reviews, agree who owns the next steps and whether evidence requests or ongoing reviews are included. The format and timing are confirmed in your proposal.
Your team’s part
Built with you.
Not dropped on you.
Bring the person, company or domain you want reviewed, public identifying context to distinguish the subject, the business decision you are considering and when you need to make it. For a vendor, explain what they will provide, what information or systems they may access and who will own the relationship. We agree the purpose, scope, deliverables and timing before starting.
The change you’re working toward
A clearer picture of the person or business, findings you can trace to their sources and questions to follow up before moving ahead.
Vendor management support
Keep the review useful
after the search.
A public search can help you decide what to ask. Vendor management connects those questions to the service you are buying, the access you are granting and the person responsible for the relationship.
Before you commit
Define what the vendor will do, what information or systems they may access and how much your business will depend on them. Use that context to decide which relationships need a closer review.
Review the information
Combine relevant public findings with information requested from the vendor. Keep unanswered questions and evidence gaps visible so your team can follow up before making a decision.
Track the relationship
Agree who owns the vendor, what needs follow-up and when to review it again. Ongoing reviews, evidence requests and reporting can be included in an agreed scope.
You can start with one prospective partner or discuss a review process for several vendors. We agree the research, deliverables and any ongoing responsibilities before beginning.
For an example of how to track findings and owners, see our illustrative vendor question.
Scope & pricing
The question shapes
the search.
A focused search, a passive scan and an ongoing vendor review require different amounts of work. Start with the decision you need to make.
Subjects and questions
The number of people, businesses or domains and the questions you need answered determine the initial research scope.
Depth and evidence
Source availability, the depth of review and the work needed to resolve uncertain matches influence effort. Agree the findings, source references and review format.
Vendor management cadence
One prospective partner differs from several vendor reviews, evidence requests and ongoing follow-up. Agree the roles, review schedule and reporting in the quote.
Deliverables, responsibilities, timing and any follow-up work are agreed in your proposal.
Explore search & vendor review pricingA few things you may
be wondering.
Can you research someone we want to do business with?
Yes. Public information searches can cover a prospective business partner, supplier or vendor, as well as your own public footprint. We agree the subject and the questions you need answered before beginning.
How does this connect to vendor management?
Public research can inform a vendor review. We can also discuss organizing your vendors, identifying the relationships that need closer attention, requesting supporting information and tracking open questions, decisions and review dates. Those responsibilities and any ongoing work are defined in the engagement.
What does OSINT mean?
Open-source intelligence (OSINT) means gathering and evaluating publicly available information. Here, that includes research into people, business partners and vendors, public exposure reviews and passive security scans.
Will you access private accounts or break into systems?
No. This service uses publicly available information. Access to private accounts and active penetration testing are outside this service.
What does the free review include?
The free review is an introductory public exposure request, with eligibility and scope confirmed by Vectari. Person searches, partner or vendor research, broader scans and ongoing work are paid services, quoted separately.
Can public information be incomplete or wrong?
Yes. Public records can be outdated, and different people can share a name. We include source context and limitations so you can evaluate what a finding establishes.
Does a public search establish that a vendor is safe?
Public information is one input to the decision. A review can surface findings and unanswered questions, but it cannot establish everything about a vendor’s security or suitability. The vendor’s responsibilities and the evidence they provide also matter.
