Creating future OSINT experts

We are focused on...

Making the United Kingdom the global leader in open source intelligence

Run by volunteers for the community

Uniting the UK OSINT community to enhance skills, share knowledge, and build networks in an informal, collaborative environment.

Our story
Born in a pub, and built by the community

The UK OSINT Community was established to unite professionals across the UK who rely on open-source intelligence (OSINT) to inform their work. As OSINT has expanded beyond its public sector origins into industries like law enforcement, journalism, and financial services, the need for a dedicated community became clear.

Our mission is to foster collaboration, promote ethical practices, and advance OSINT capabilities across the nation. We focus on establishing standards, sharing knowledge, advocating for responsible use, enhancing resources, and developing talent. By reinvesting all our revenue into these efforts, we ensure our community remains vibrant and forward-looking.

Join us in shaping the future of OSINT in the UK, and be part of a community dedicated to advancing this vital field.
