Helping Organizations Develop Enduring Open-Source Intelligence Capabilities at Scale
Our team brings a long and distinguished history of service across military, national security, law enforcement and corporate intelligence communities. OSINT Combine was founded to translate that operational experience into practical tools, training and tradecraft that help organizations build and sustain OSINT capability.
Chris Poulter founds OSINT Combine to help organizations build enduring open-source intelligence capability. Drawing on operational experience from the Australian Defence Force and close collaboration with allied partners, Chris begins with a focus on practical training and tradecraft, establishing the foundations of the broader OSINT capability ecosystem that exists today.
Recognizing the growing complexity of open-source investigations, OSINT Combine begins development of NexusXplore to support more scalable and sustainable OSINT capability. The platform brings together data access and investigative functionality in a single environment, enabling analysts to work with greater speed and context.
Building on the success of the inaugural event, OSINT Combine hosts the second Australian OSINT Symposium. The event reinforces the growing need for collaboration, professional development and capability-building across the open-source intelligence community, helping established the Symposium as a focal point for practitioners and leaders.
OSINT Combine establishes permanent staff presence in the United States. This milestone strengthens the company’s ability to support customers globally and lays the foundation for a growing presence in North America.
Building on its growing presence in North America, OSINT Combine continues its international expansion into Europe, strengthening its ability to support customers, partners and practitioners globally.
OSINT Combine broadens its OSINT capability ecosystem through the development of the NexusXplore API, the Curated Data Program and the Managed Attribution Virtual Environment (MAVE). Together, these capabilities help organizations build more scalable, sustainable and operationally integrated OSINT programs.
OSINT Combine merges with Kaseware, bringing together complementary intelligence and investigative capabilities. The partnership strengthens how organizations operationalize open-source intelligence within broader investigative workflows, while OSINT Combine continues to deliver specialist OSINT technology, training and tradecraft.
