We are Blackdot
Blackdot Solutions makes Videris, a complete investigations platform for investigators and analysts leveraging open source intelligence.
Today, huge and growing volumes of publicly available data are accessible online. Increasing numbers of organisations are trying to make use of this information to address critical challenges; a process known as Open Source Intelligence, or OSINT. OSINT is used to fight major societal problems, such as terrorism, financial crime and human trafficking – but investigators often rely on manual processes to leverage OSINT for their investigations.
We created Videris to help professional investigators and analysts make sense of the wealth of data available on the internet. Videris helps investigators to work faster and gain better insights, combining internal data with external data, and ensuring organisations benefit from improved efficiency and effectiveness in the fight against crime.

Our clients rely on our tech every day, and our software means they can collect, analyse and visualise open source intelligence (OSINT) and get instant results.
It’s serious stuff, but we believe in the power of technology to do great things. Videris doesn’t collect data indiscriminately, and we won’t sell our software to just anyone; we’re here to protect the public, use information responsibly and make sure we can all sleep at night.
