The Coalition of Cyber Investigators
OSINT, Investigations & Cybercrime Advisory Services
Our Mission
The Coalition is an OSINT, Investigations and Digital Forensics think-tank that unites leading experts to deliver cutting edge research, OSINT, Investigations & Cybercrime Advisory Services worldwide.
We author thought leadership and research, we conduct investigations into cyber incidents, boiler room investment fraud and other forms of malpractice, we develop bespoke training, policies and procedural frameworks, and we help organisations and their lawyers manage confidential and high risk situations.
Our Expertise
The Coalition was originally established to provide a platform to collaborate and share analysis of topical issues in the converging domains of investigations, digital forensics and OSINT. The founders, Paul Wright (UK) and Neal Ysart (Philippines) offer over 80 years of combined hands-on investigations and intelligence experience, and remain actively engaged in their field.
Since our inception, further highly experienced experts across the world have joined us creating an ability to provide highly specialised and discrete OSINT, Investigations and Cybercrime Advisory Services in an interconnected, and increasingly complicated world.
It is this collective experience, when combined with the skills that we have access to, that truly sets us apart.
Coalition Intel
Proprietary OSINT and Investigation Methodologies
Coalition Intel is our suite of proprietary OSINT and investigation methodologies developed from years of frontline investigative experience.
Our first module focuses on the insurance sector, where we have identified documentation containing customer data that's publicly available — in some cases for over a decade — but undetected by the organisations responsible for protecting it.
Further modules targeting additional sectors and exposure categories are in active development.

We deliver a full spectrum of investigations services, including cyber investigations, compliance reviews, internal fraud and insider threat detection, external fraud, whistleblowing and HR inquiries, board-level malpractice, incident response and crisis management. Our seasoned team excels in high-risk and complex cases—such as boiler room investment fraud—by combining advanced investigative methodologies, cutting-edge OSINT techniques, and deep industry expertise.
Every investigation is conducted to the highest evidential standards, ensuring findings are robust, admissible, and defensible in legal proceedings.

Cybercrime Advisory
We deliver powerful advisory solutions to help combat cyber and technology-enabled crime. Our team specialises in cyber investigations, incident and crisis response, risk assessments, awareness raising, and identifying organised crime operations—including scam centers, romance scams, pig butchering, sextortion, deepfake fraud, and AI-driven threats.
With deep experience in digital forensics, advanced investigative techniques, threat intelligence, and OSINT, we help you identify and disrupt scams while ensuring every case is handled to the highest evidential standards for legal admissibility.
Boiler Room Investment Fraud & Pre-investment Validation Services
If you've been affected by an investment fraud scheme and need assistance, we specialise in investigating boiler room investment fraud. We have developed proprietory methodologies which have evolved over years of investigating cybercrime, which when combined with advanced OSINT techniques, often leave the fraudsters with no place to hide.
We offer investigations, preparation of investigative reports for law enforcement, regulators and insurers, and pre-investment validation services to help you avoid scams in the first place.
Coalition Intel
We have developed proprietary methodologies to identify and monitor high-risk artefacts that are often undetected by commercial cyber threat intelligence tools. We don't see the public internet as a place to search for keywords; we see it as an evidential and investigative environment.
The output from our work isn't just a bunch of links. It is an evidence-based assessment of real exposure, linked to real fraud and pre-attack scenarios that can act as a pipeline for investigation, takedown, and reporting activities. It's also a conversation about compliance, because some of these exposures stem from policy violations and procedural gaps rather than from external attacks and may result in significant regulatory reporting and remediation obligations.
