About These Services

Specialist Corporate Intelligence for US Clients

Imperial PI is a UK-based private intelligence firm delivering specialist corporate investigation and intelligence services to US clients entirely remotely. We operate across all 50 states using lawful digital investigative methods, open-source intelligence (OSINT), and proprietary research techniques — with no physical presence in the United States required or used.

This page covers three of our most requested specialist corporate intelligence services: Asset Discovery Mapping, Social Media Forensics and Deep Web Archiving, and Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM).

As a UK-regulated firm operating under the ABI Code of Conduct and ICO registration, we bring an independently audited standard of professional conduct to every engagement. Our UK base also enables overnight intelligence delivery relative to US Eastern time — a genuine operational advantage for time-sensitive corporate matters.

📈 Corporate Intelligence Service

Asset Discovery Mapping

Comprehensive remote research to locate, identify, and document assets held or controlled by a subject, entity, or judgment debtor — using public records, corporate filings, property registers, and OSINT. Structured to support enforcement strategy, pre-litigation planning, or senior-level decision making.

Asset discovery mapping is the systematic process of identifying, locating, and documenting the assets of an individual, company, or corporate group through lawful open-source and public records research. For US corporate clients, this is a foundational intelligence service used ahead of enforcement action, post-judgment recovery, litigation strategy, and high-value dispute resolution.

Our approach combines US public records research, corporate registry filings, real property databases, UCC lien records, court judgments, business interest mapping, and digital footprint analysis. We cross-reference multiple data sources to build a coherent picture of what a subject holds, where it is registered, and how it may be structured or concealed across entities.

Where a subject operates through complex corporate structures, nominee arrangements, or offshore vehicles, we map beneficial ownership chains and flag indicators of deliberate obfuscation or asset protection structures that may be relevant to enforcement or litigation strategy. Our work is entirely research-based — all intelligence is drawn from lawful, publicly accessible, or permissible data sources.

The final deliverable is a structured asset intelligence report with full source documentation, organised for attorney review or enforcement purposes. Reports are timestamped, evidenced, and accompanied by chain-of-custody records where required.

What We Research

  • ›Real property holdings: residential, commercial, and land registry searches across US states
  • ›Corporate and business interests: registered entities, directorships, shareholdings, and registered agents
  • ›UCC filings, liens, and secured interest records relevant to moveable assets

  • ›Financial indicators: judgment records, bankruptcy filings, IRS liens, and public financial disclosures
  • ›Beneficial ownership and corporate structure mapping — including US and international entities
  • ›Digital and web footprint analysis for undisclosed business activity

🔐 Digital Intelligence Service

Social Media Forensics & Deep Web Archiving

Structured intelligence research across social media platforms, the open web, and deep web sources — with professional-grade evidence preservation and digital archiving. Designed for corporate clients requiring documented, timestamped intelligence for legal proceedings, compliance review, or internal investigations.

Social media forensics and deep web archiving is a specialist digital intelligence service that goes significantly beyond a surface-level search. We conduct systematic, structured research across the open web, social media platforms, forums, data aggregators, paste sites, and accessible deep web sources — capturing, preserving, and documenting intelligence in a legally defensible format.

For US corporate clients, this service addresses a growing operational need: the identification and lawful preservation of digital evidence that exists across social platforms and web sources before it is deleted, altered, or made inaccessible. Digital content is volatile. Without proper preservation methodology, it has limited value in legal or compliance proceedings.

Our team captures and archives digital evidence in accordance with established digital preservation standards — including metadata retention, URL documentation, timestamping, and screenshot verification. Every piece of preserved evidence is catalogued with source attribution and a clear chain-of-custody record. The result is a defensible evidence package that your legal team can rely on.

We also conduct proactive intelligence research across closed or semi-private social environments, open-source data aggregators, court document repositories, and other accessible deep web sources to surface intelligence not visible through standard search. This is particularly valuable for subject profiling, risk assessment, and reputational due diligence where completeness of the digital picture matters.

Scope of Research

  • ›Systematic social media intelligence across major and secondary platforms (LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, and others)
  • ›Forum, community, and discussion board intelligence — including specialist and industry-specific sources
  • ›Paste site and data aggregator research for leaked or exposed information
  • ›Deep web OSINT across accessible, lawful sources not indexed by standard search engines
  • ›Digital evidence preservation with metadata retention and timestamping
  • ›Pattern of conduct analysis — mapping activity, associations, and behavioural indicators over time
  • ›Anonymous account identification and attribution research where content is publicly accessible
  • ›Platform cross-referencing to identify connected accounts and alternate identities

Typical Use Cases

Pre-litigation digital evidence preservation
Employee misconduct and insider threat research
Defamation and online harassment investigations
Reputational due diligence on executives or counterparties
M&A subject profiling and adverse intelligence
Fraud indicator and background research
Brand infringement and counterfeiting intelligence
Indicative Pricing
$1,500 – $4,500 Fixed fee. Scope and platform breadth dependent. Confirmed in writing before commencement.

Ongoing monitoring and archiving retainers available for litigation or long-term compliance purposes.

Turnaround

Standard social media forensics package: 3–7 working days. Deep web archiving with extended scope: 5–10 working days. Expedited preservation available for urgent matters.

Deliverable
  • ›Structured digital intelligence report
  • ›Preserved evidence archive with metadata
  • ›Timestamped screenshots and URL documentation
  • ›Source attribution for all captured content
  • ›Chain-of-custody record — litigation-ready format

📋 Risk Intelligence Service

Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM)

Intelligence-led third-party risk research for US corporate clients — screening vendors, suppliers, partners, and counterparties against reputational, regulatory, financial, and behavioural risk indicators before and during contractual relationships. Structured to integrate with existing TPRM frameworks or support standalone due diligence requirements.

Third-party risk management has become a critical discipline for US corporations navigating increasingly complex supply chains, regulatory environments, and stakeholder expectations. Standard vendor onboarding processes — questionnaires, certifications, and reference checks — routinely fail to surface the reputational, financial, and behavioural risks that actually materialise as liability.

Our TPRM intelligence service provides the independent, research-based layer that formal compliance processes cannot. We conduct structured intelligence research on third-party entities and their key principals — surfacing adverse media, regulatory history, litigation exposure, financial instability indicators, beneficial ownership complexity, and reputational risk factors that internal processes are not designed to find.

We operate as a remote intelligence partner, not a database subscription service. Every TPRM engagement involves human-led research calibrated to the specific risk profile and commercial context of the relationship. Reports are structured to integrate directly with your compliance team's risk rating framework, or can be provided as standalone intelligence products for attorney or board review.

For organisations with ongoing third-party portfolios, we offer programme-level retainer arrangements covering periodic refresh screening, event-triggered re-screening, and emerging risk monitoring across vendor or partner populations. All work is conducted entirely remotely from the UK — no US operations, no domestic conflicts.

What We Screen

  • ›Entity background, registration history, and corporate structure research
  • ›Key principal background, identity verification, and professional history
  • ›Regulatory, sanctions, and enforcement record screening — US and international
  • ›Litigation history: civil, commercial, and regulatory proceedings
  • ›Adverse media and reputational intelligence — including specialist, trade, and non-indexed sources
  • ›Financial stability indicators: public filings, judgment records, and distress signals
  • ›Beneficial ownership and UBO mapping — including offshore and nominee structures
  • ›Political exposure and conflict-of-interest research
  • ›Digital footprint and social media intelligence on key individuals

Typical Use Cases

Pre-contract vendor and supplier screening
High-value or strategic partnership due diligence
Financial services third-party compliance programmes
Critical infrastructure and supply chain risk screening
M&A target counterparty and vendor portfolio review
Periodic refresh screening for existing vendor populations
Regulatory-driven third-party risk programmes (SOX, FCPA, etc.)
Indicative Pricing
$1,500 – $3,500 Per entity. Enhanced or complex engagements from $3,500+. All fees confirmed in writing.

Programme retainers available from $5,000/month for ongoing TPRM intelligence requirements covering multiple entities.

Turnaround

Standard TPRM screen: 5–8 working days. Enhanced or complex entity research: 7–14 working days. Batch and programme engagements scoped individually.

Deliverable
  • ›Structured third-party risk intelligence report
  • ›Risk narrative with source documentation
  • ›Key principal profiles where applicable
  • ›Risk rating summary for compliance integration
  • ›Attorney or compliance-ready format

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it lawful for a UK firm to provide asset discovery, social media forensics, or TPRM services to US clients? +
Yes. A UK-based intelligence firm conducting remote, open-source, and data-led research on behalf of US corporate clients is entirely lawful. We do not conduct physical surveillance in the United States, do not operate as US-licensed investigators, and do not engage in activities that require a US PI licence. Our work is research-based, OSINT-led, and conducted from the UK under UK law and professional standards. We operate under the ABI Code of Conduct and ICO registration.
Can your intelligence reports be used in US legal proceedings? +
Our reports are structured to meet evidential standards including chain-of-custody documentation, source attribution, and timestamped evidence. Whether a specific report is admissible in a particular US proceeding is a question for your attorney — but our intelligence packages are designed to support attorney review and legal strategy directly. We can also provide sworn declarations where required by your legal team.
Do you use any unlawful methods to access information — such as hacking, impersonation, or data theft? +
No — categorically. We never use hacking, social engineering that constitutes deception, illegal data access, wiretapping, or any form of unlawful interception. Every method we use is lawful, open-source, or permissible under UK law and the ABI Code of Conduct. This is not merely a policy position — it is a commercial and professional necessity. Intelligence obtained unlawfully is worthless in legal proceedings and exposes both parties to liability.
What does "deep web archiving" mean in practice, and is it legal? +
In this context, "deep web" refers to publicly accessible or permissibly accessible content that is not indexed by standard search engines — this includes forums, data aggregators, court document repositories, paste sites, and specialist databases. It does not mean the dark web or encrypted criminal marketplaces. All sources we access are lawful and permissible. Archiving refers to the professional preservation of digital content — capturing it with metadata, timestamps, and source documentation so it remains evidentially valid even if the original source is later deleted or changed.
How does your TPRM service differ from a standard database screening subscription? +
Database subscription services query fixed, automated datasets and return standardised outputs. Our TPRM service involves human-led intelligence research calibrated to the specific entity, commercial context, and risk appetite of your organisation. We source intelligence beyond commercially available databases — including specialist media, court records, digital footprint analysis, and open-source intelligence that automated systems do not capture. The result is a substantive intelligence product, not a checkbox compliance output.
How do you handle confidentiality and data protection on corporate engagements? +
We are registered with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) and operate under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Your case data is stored securely, accessed only by authorised personnel, and never sold or shared with third parties. Mutual non-disclosure is a contractual obligation on every engagement. Case records are retained for six years in line with limitation periods, then securely destroyed. We can execute additional NDAs or data processing agreements on request.
What is your fee structure and minimum engagement? +
All fees are quoted and confirmed in writing before any work begins. We offer fixed-fee structures for defined-scope engagements, hourly rates for litigation support, and retainer arrangements for ongoing or programme requirements. An upfront deposit is required before investigative work commences. We accept USD and GBP bank transfer and card payments. There is no standard minimum engagement — scope and fee are determined at the free initial consultation. Full payment terms are set out in your client agreement.
