## What does ShadowDragon do?

ShadowDragon is an open-source intelligence (OSINT) platform provider founded in 2016 by Daniel Clemens, built to support digital investigations by law enforcement, financial crimes units, and corporate security teams. The platform enables investigators to collect, analyze, and act on publicly available data across social networks, domains, usernames, and other open sources without mass scraping, credential misuse, or exploitation of data.

Key products include SocialNet, which allows analysts to graph connections across dozens of social networks from a single query, and Horizon, which provides persistent, entity-centric intelligence tracking to monitor threats and behavioral patterns over time. The platform supports unattributed searches to protect analyst operational security and is designed to maintain investigative continuity — preserving context and methodology so findings can be revisited, defended, and handed off between analysts.

ShadowDragon targets investigators, intelligence analysts, and security teams across government, enterprise, and law enforcement environments. Use cases include criminal investigations, fraud and financial crime, insider threat detection, corporate security monitoring, counterterrorism, and online extremism tracking. The platform emphasizes ethical data practices, complying with data protection regulations across jurisdictions, and is SOC 2 Type II certified.

The company also offers training, support, and ongoing investigative guidance, helping customers build long-term OSINT capability. Its leadership team has deep backgrounds in cybersecurity, military intelligence, law enforcement, and HUMINT operations.
