OSINT
Digital Surveillance and Monitoring in France
Keep an eye on what
is relevant to you
Some situations cannot be resolved through a one-time investigation but require ongoing monitoring: tracking the progression of a reputational crisis, detecting the resurgence of a threat, tracking a competitor’s activity, or identifying an information leak as soon as it occurs. Reputation monitoring addresses this need for continuous vigilance.
Targeted monitoring involves systematically and regularly tracking mentions, content, and signals related to your organization, and then alerting you as soon as something significant comes to light. This allows you to shift from a reactive approach—where you discover problems too late—to a proactive one.
This monitoring is tailored to your situation: an individual at risk, a company concerned about its reputation, or an organization facing an identified threat do not all have the same priorities. We design a customized monitoring plan.
What’s Included
: Our Services
- Our goal is to ensure continuous monitoring and to alert you:
- Defining a targeted and relevant scope for monitoring;
- Regular monitoring of mentions, content, and relevant signals;
- Early detection of a threat, an incident, or a leak;
- Alerts for significant events;
- Clear and well-documented periodic reporting.
Each alert is documented and contextualized. When our monitoring reveals a network of actors, it is integrated with our relational mapping.
How is the procedure performed?
It all starts with a confidential, free, and no-obligation consultation to define the scope of the monitoring and provide a clear quote. Our investigators then conduct regular monitoring of relevant sources throughout France. Our digital investigations are conducted under the supervision of Sarah Da Silva, who heads the OSINT division at the Aquila Group. You’ll receive alerts whenever significant information is found, as well as periodic reports.
Be Proactive Rather Than Reactive
Discovering a breach or leak several weeks after it occurs often means discovering it too late. The value of monitoring lies precisely in its ability to detect issues early, when it is still possible to take effective action and limit the damage. This proactive approach transforms the way you manage digital risks.
We tailor the frequency and scope of our monitoring to the threat level, ensuring that our monitoring remains both responsive and proportionate to your actual situation.
Customized Monitoring
No standardized monitoring approach works for every situation. We systematically tailor the scope to your specific needs: relevant keywords, sources to track, and types of signals to prioritize. This customization eliminates both unnecessary noise and blind spots, ensuring truly useful monitoring.
The scope may change over time, as the situation becomes clearer or new threats emerge. You retain control over what is monitored and the level of monitoring.
Legal Framework and Privacy
Our monitoring is based exclusively on lawful sources and complies with personal data protection regulations, in accordance with the CNIL’s recommendations. Monitoring never involves illegally accessing private information: we strictly limit ourselves to what is publicly available.
Compliance with the legal framework ensures that any information detected can, if necessary, be used for legitimate purposes.
Why Choose the Aquila Group?
The Aquila Group is a private detective agency licensed by the CNAPS. Our investigators handle all your surveillance needs, and we operate throughout France—with particularly high demand in the Paris region—thanks to our network of twenty offices across five regions.
Responsiveness, thoroughness, and compliance with legal requirements are the hallmarks of our monitoring and surveillance services. To discuss your needs, please contact our teams : the initial consultation is free and non-binding.
Reputation, Threat, Competition
There are many reasons to conduct reputation monitoring. Monitoring your reputation to respond quickly to a breach; tracking an identified threat to anticipate its development; observing the competitive landscape or detecting an information leak at the earliest signs. In each case, the challenge is to avoid discovering too late what is being planned or said.
This diversity of needs calls for monitoring solutions that vary greatly in scope and frequency. We tailor each solution to your specific needs, based on the exact nature of what you want to monitor and the expected level of responsiveness.
Monitoring services are therefore intended for both individuals at risk and companies seeking to protect their reputation or their information assets.
From Signal to Action
Detecting a signal is only useful if you know what to do with it. That’s why our alerts don’t just flag issues—they provide context for what’s been detected and, when appropriate, include recommendations on how to respond. This allows you to move directly from the alert to action, without wasting any time.
When a report indicates a serious threat, we can immediately launch a thorough investigation, ensuring continuity by having a single point of contact.
Setting up a monitoring system means trading the vague anxiety of not knowing for the peace of mind that comes from being informed in a timely manner. You no longer discover breaches or threats after the fact: you anticipate them and maintain the upper hand. It is precisely this renewed peace of mind—as much as the detection itself—that makes a well-designed monitoring system, tailored to your specific needs, so valuable.
