Rise to Peace OSINT Guide and Manual
We’re pleased to announce the release of our OSINT Best Practices and Manual — a practical, ethics-forward guide for researchers, analysts, journalists, and security practitioners working in an environment of information saturation, manipulation, and hybrid threat.
This manual is designed to move beyond tool lists and toward method, judgment, and responsibility. It reflects the realities of contemporary OSINT work: platform volatility, algorithmic distortion, narrative warfare, and the growing risks to both analysts and the public.
Inside the manual:
- Core OSINT principles and tradecraft
- Verification, sourcing, and confidence assessment
- Ethical boundaries, legal considerations, and harm reduction
- Disinformation, influence operations, and narrative analysis
- Operational security and analyst well-being
- Practical workflows adaptable across security, journalism, and research contexts
Our goal is to support credible, transparent, and defensible OSINT — work that informs decision-making.
The manual is available now and intended as a living reference for both new and experienced practitioners.
