Supervisor & Decision Makers

Service Description

The OSINT Supervisor / Decision-Maker Course is specifically designed for those in supervisory, managerial, or assurance roles who are responsible for authorising, reviewing, or relying upon OSINT outputs, rather than conducting open-source research themselves. As OSINT and social media intelligence become increasingly embedded in investigations, safeguarding, and intelligence-led decision-making, supervisors and decision-makers face growing responsibility for ensuring that online activity is lawful, proportionate, necessary, and evidentially sound. This course addresses that responsibility directly. The programme focuses on people-focused OSINT, particularly the attribution of online accounts, digital personas, and social media activity to real-world individuals. It equips delegates with the knowledge and frameworks needed to critically assess investigator conclusions, recognise weak or speculative attribution, and provide effective oversight and challenge. Throughout the day, the emphasis is on decision quality, governance, and defensibility, not technical OSINT tradecraft. https://www.cybernestlabs.com/courses/new-for-'26---supervisor-%2F-decision-making-course
