Due Diligence
Pre-deal and ongoing checks on partners, beneficial owners, counterparties and acquisition targets. Reputational, financial and regulatory exposure mapped end-to-end.
MapaFact is an investigation house built by OSINT and darknet operators. Verified intelligence on people and companies — for newsrooms, law firms and decision-makers who cannot afford to be wrong.
Every engagement is compartmentalised. Sources, methods and clients stay protected — by design, not by promise.
We only accept briefs we can close. If we take the file, we deliver an answer.
Proprietary tooling across surface web, deep web and darknet — operated by senior analysts, never by a dashboard alone.
Who we are
MapaFact was founded by OSINT and darknet specialists with backgrounds in investigative journalism, corporate intelligence and cyber research.
We pair human tradecraft with AI-driven collection across hundreds of open, closed and underground sources — and we verify everything twice before it leaves the room.
What we do
Pre-deal and ongoing checks on partners, beneficial owners, counterparties and acquisition targets. Reputational, financial and regulatory exposure mapped end-to-end.
Independent verification of documents, claims, sources and digital evidence for editorial teams, legal counsel and compliance functions.
Long-form investigations on people and companies — networks, assets, history, links and undisclosed connections, built for publication-grade scrutiny.
Method
Every file moves through the same disciplined sequence — collection, corroboration, contradiction, and clearance.
Open, closed and underground sources, swept by AI and reviewed by hand. Nothing enters the file unsourced.
Each claim is matched against at least two independent sources before it earns a line in the report.
We actively hunt for the counter-evidence. If a thesis cannot survive its own opposition, it does not ship.
Legal review, chain-of-custody and source protection are checked before delivery. The client gets findings, not exposure.
