Investigative Research, Public Records & Open-Source Intelligence

Bedan Investigation & Litigation Support provides desktop investigative research and Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) services for insurance carriers, TPAs, legal professionals, businesses, and private clients requiring reliable information to support investigative and decision-making objectives.

Our services involve researching, identifying, verifying, and analyzing information from public records, authorized databases, social media, and other lawfully accessible sources.

Desktop investigations can help establish background information, identify relevant connections, locate individuals, verify reported details, and develop leads for additional investigative activity.

Our objective is to transform available information into organized, relevant, and actionable investigative findings.

1. Our Capabilities

Public Records and Database Research

Research involving publicly available records and lawfully accessible investigative databases to identify relevant information concerning individuals, businesses, property, and other matters within the scope of an assignment.

Subject Location and Address Verification

Research intended to identify potential current or historical addresses, verify available location information, and develop leads concerning an individual's whereabouts for legitimate investigative purposes.

Background and Association Research

Investigative research involving relevant personal or professional background information, publicly documented relationships, business connections, and other associations that may assist in developing an investigative understanding of a subject.

Business and Corporate Records Research

2. When This Service May Be Appropriate

3. Our Investigative Approach

Each assignment begins with identifying the client's research objectives, the information already available, and the specific questions requiring investigation.

Research may involve reviewing public records, authorized investigative databases, corporate filings, online sources, and other relevant materials.

Information obtained from different sources is evaluated for relevance, consistency, and reliability. Where appropriate, findings are compared across multiple sources to help identify discrepancies or corroborating information.

We distinguish verified findings from unconfirmed information, possible matches, and investigative leads requiring additional verification.

Research is conducted within applicable legal and privacy restrictions, including limitations on access to protected or restricted information.

4. Reporting and Deliverables

Depending on the assignment, clients may receive:

• Written desktop investigative reports.
• Relevant public records and research findings.
• Background and association summaries.
• Address and subject-location research results.
• Business and corporate records documentation.
• Social media and publicly available online research findings.
• Identification of potential leads requiring further investigation.
• Supporting source references or documentation, where available and appropriate.

Reports are organized to help clients understand the findings and their relevance to the stated investigative objectives.
