Our methodology
Unique technology does the scanning. Human analysts do the judging.
A powerful combination of our innovative technology and experienced human analysts across the entire process - so nothing is missed, and nothing material goes unverified.
We mind the gap to protect you
Expert human analysts
Analysts who are alumni of Israel's intelligence community verify, contextualise and cross-check every material finding across at least two independent sources - confirming or refuting each lead to avoid false flags.
Confidence-rated findings
Each finding carries a confidence level - High, Medium or Low - gaps are stated explicitly, and subject-supplied documents are treated as claims to be independently verified, never as proof.
Technology finds the signal. People decide what it means.
Automation surfaces leads at scale, but only an experienced analyst can weigh context, separate a real risk from a coincidence, and stand behind a conclusion. That human judgement at the edge is what turns raw data into a decision you can trust.

FAQ
Good to know
Exclusively from Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) - diverse, reliable and independent public sources across the open, deep and dark web, including web.archive.org.
Each finding is rated High, Medium or Low confidence based on the strength and corroboration of its sources. Where information cannot be established, the gap is stated explicitly rather than glossed over.
Subject-supplied documents are treated as claims to be independently verified - never as proof in themselves.
Our analysts are fluent in diverse languages and cultures and our service is delivered globally, including cross-border and high-risk jurisdictions.
Yes. Every engagement is tailor-made - the detailed scope and cost model are defined together with you before we begin.
KYC (Know Your Customer) due diligence is the process of verifying who a company or individual really is - their identity, ownership, background and risk - before you do business with them. ProfCheck performs it using open-source intelligence, verified by human analysts.
OSINT (Open-Source Intelligence) is intelligence gathered from publicly available sources - the open, deep and dark web, public registries, media and archives - rather than from private or confidential data.
A UBO is the real person who ultimately owns or controls a company, even when ownership is held through intermediate entities. Identifying UBOs is a core part of KYC and anti-money-laundering (AML) checks.
A PEP is someone entrusted with a prominent public function - together with their close associates and family - who therefore carries a higher risk of bribery or corruption. PEP screening flags these connections during due diligence.
Each report opens with an executive summary and a Low / Medium / High risk rating, followed by detailed findings by category with hyperlinked sources, red flags and recommendations, and a full source list - including sources checked that returned no adverse findings.
Timelines depend on the scope and the entity, because every engagement is tailor-made. We agree the scope, turnaround and cost model with you before we begin.
