At Cyber CFI, we apply a structured intelligence-led methodology designed to identify, analyse, and document complex financial, digital, and corporate risks.
Our approach combines investigative research, regulatory analysis, blockchain intelligence, open-source intelligence gathering, compliance methodologies, and evidential assessment frameworks. Every engagement follows a disciplined process
intended to maximise accuracy, maintain evidential integrity, and support informed decision-making.

Digital asset investigations present unique challenges due to the cross-border and
pseudonymous nature of blockchain networks.
Our cryptocurrency recovery methodology combines blockchain intelligence with
traditional investigative techniques to analyse the movement of digital assets across
multiple environments.
Areas of analysis may include:
● Blockchain transaction tracing
● Wallet attribution methodologies
● Exchange exposure assessment
● Asset movement analysis
● Risk and behavioural indicators
● Custodial exposure identification
● Compliance and AML review
Where appropriate, investigative findings are organised into structured intelligence
reports designed to support compliance reviews, regulatory engagement, legal
consultation, and institutional investigations.
Due to the evolving nature of blockchain technology and digital asset crime, each
investigation is conducted using a flexible intelligence framework tailored to the
specific circumstances of the case.
Effective due diligence requires the examination of significantly more information than standard public records alone. Our due diligence framework utilises a layered approach incorporating:
● Corporate record analysis
● Jurisdictional verification procedures
● Beneficial ownership research
● Litigation and enforcement reviews
● Regulatory exposure assessments
● Corporate relationship mapping
● Adverse media screening
● Risk indicator evaluation
The objective is to provide clients with a comprehensive understanding of potential risks, corporate structures, and relevant background information before commercial decisions are made. Our methodology is designed to identify both apparent and less obvious risk factors that may impact transactions, investments, partnerships, or business relationships.

Osint Methodlogogy
Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) Methodology
Open-source intelligence forms an important component of many investigative and compliance engagements.
Our OSINT methodology involves the systematic collection, validation, correlation, and analysis of publicly available information from lawful and ethical sources.
This process may incorporate:
● Digital footprint analysis
● Public-record research
● Corporate intelligence gathering
● Network and relationship mapping
● Online behavioural assessment
● Historical data correlation
● Geographical and jurisdictional analysis
● Cross-source verification procedures
All intelligence findings undergo a validation process intended to minimise misinformation, confirm source reliability, and establish evidential consistency. The objective is not simply to collect information, but to transform fragmented data
into actionable intelligence capable of supporting informed decisions and investigative objectives.
