Landscape maps are structured, visual representations of a specific industry market, that categorises key technology solutions based on their capabilities. These maps help professionals navigate the broad range of tools offered by vendors. Typically created by analyst firms, these maps categorise solutions based on their capabilities, market presence, and relevance to specific use cases. Many high-profile landscape maps, such as Gartner’s Magic Quadrant or Forrester’s Wave, are commercial products requiring paid access, offering in-depth vendor assessments and strategic insights.
The UK OSINT Community is excited to introduce the UK OSINT Practitioner’s Paid Tool Landscape, a free and easily accessible resource designed to help investigators, analysts, and researchers navigate the broad range of paid OSINT solutions available in the UK market. This map provides a structured overview of vendors that are either UK-based or internationally established but actively servicing UK customers, helping practitioners easily identify the right tools to enhance their investigative workflows.
