OSINT & the Law: Legal Frameworks in Practice
About this Event
Half-Day Seminar: Navigating OSINT and the Legal Landscape
Join us for an engaging half-day seminar bringing together leading legal experts and intelligence professionals to explore the evolving legal framework surrounding Open Source Intelligence (OSINT). As the use of publicly available information becomes increasingly central to investigations and decision-making, understanding the legal and ethical boundaries is more important than ever.
This seminar will provide practical insights into how OSINT can be effectively and lawfully used across both public and private sectors. Through expert-led sessions and an interactive panel discussion, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the risks, responsibilities, and opportunities associated with OSINT work.
Topics will include:
- Data privacy legislation and OSINT
An overview of key legal considerations, including GDPR, database rights, and intellectual property. Learn how to ensure compliance while collecting, analysing, and storing open-source data. - Using OSINT in support of public bodies and government clients
Bringing a focus to the application of OSINT within regulated environments, covering important legislation such as RIPA, the Computer Misuse Act (CMA), and the Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act (CPIA). - Expert panel discussion: Real-world OSINT challenges
Hear from a distinguished panel of experienced OSINT practitioners, legal advisers, and compliance specialists. - Networking and drinks reception
Conclude the seminar with an informal networking session, giving you the chance to connect with peers, speakers, and industry professionals.
