Our Story

Why We Exist?

We started NetWatch with one mission: to make intelligence simple, fast, and accessible. For too long, organisations were held back by slow processes, incomplete data, and uncertainty. We believed there was a better way.

Today, we combine advanced OSINT tools, trusted access to public data, and a highly trained investigative team. The result? Reliable intelligence that gives our clients clarity when it matters most.

Uncovering Dishonesty: How NetWatch Intelligence Solutions Secured a £6.6m Insurance Victory

Problem Problem:

High-value insurance claims often involve exaggeration or concealment, with claimants deleting or hiding social media activity to avoid detection. This makes it hard for insurers to find proof of dishonesty, increasing the risk of costly payouts.

Solution Solution:

NetWatch used advanced intelligence solutions to dig deeper, focusing on the claimant’s extreme sports interests. Their persistence uncovered a key photo of the claimant BASE jumping in Italy, providing decisive evidence that led to the dismissal of the £6.6m claim.

"The NetWatch OSINT product proved to be a critical piece of evidence in this case. Intel reports commissioned from other suppliers are unlikely to have uncovered the photograph taken of the claimant in the BASE jump landing zone. Success at trial depended on several factors, including OSINT, and involved a collaborative approach between Hastings Direct, Keoghs, and NetWatch."
