What others miss
Standard background checks only capture a fraction of relevant risks.
Automated checks are inherently limited. They miss key risks, fail to identify material profiles, and ignore the broader digital footprint where most reputational risks actually reside.
Decades of digital behaviour cannot be assessed in minutes. Automated outputs prioritise volume over insight, lacking context, judgement, and the human analysis required for high-stakes decisions.
Standard checks foster false assurance while leaving decision-makers exposed. The gap between what's checked and what's material is significant, and consequential for organisations and reputations.

What M.INT delivers
Purpose-built for high-profile recruitment, M.INT's intelligence-led methodology surfaces the material risks that standard checks regularly miss.
Full-spectrum coverage across every angle of the public digital footprint, including social media, archives, registers, and sources standard checks never reach.
Every report written by an expert analyst. No automated outputs, no algorithm shortcuts. Clear, highly contextualised, and defensible at board level.
3–8x more material issues surfaced than standard screening. Appoint with confidence, safeguard reputation, and reinforce the trust of stakeholders, clients, and the public.
How we work
A proportionate, targeted approach focused on what matters most, calibrated to the role, organisation, and level of scrutiny involved.
360° coverage of the public digital footprint, uncovering the material risks that standard screening regularly misses.
Intelligence-grade output enabling confident, well-informed appointments. Clear, contextualised, and defensible at board level.
Risk reporting across five streams.
Every M.INT report draws on five distinct intelligence layers, synthesised into one contextualised, decision-ready output.
Social media
End-to-end review across 40+ platforms. We analyse live, legacy, and traceable deleted content, scanning against 150+ bespoke keyword risk markers tailored to corporate and reputational threats.
Clear web & adverse media
Comprehensive sweep of mainstream, trade, and peripheral media across domestic and international sources. We utilise advanced digital archive recovery to surface removed or heavily obfuscated content.
Sanctions, PEPs & regulatory records
International multi-register review encompassing global sanctions watchlists, PEP datasets, international corporate registers, civil and criminal court records, and offshore financial leaks.
Data security
Proactive assessment identifying leaked credentials, compromised accounts, breached personal data, and hijack-prone digital assets that could be leveraged against the executive or the organisation.
High-risk flag escalation
Dedicated reporting protocols for severe or time-sensitive findings. We guarantee immediate escalation and direct communication where risk exposure demands rapid intervention before standard delivery.
Integrity risk intelligence report
All five intelligence streams are consolidated into one bespoke, human-verified report. The analysis is highly contextualised, entirely decision-ready, and built from the ground up to withstand board-level scrutiny.
