Digital Research
& Intelligence.
Transforming publicly available information into meaningful insights — structured, lawful, and built for decisions that matter. Based in Oulu, Finland. Serving clients worldwide.
Sentavora turns scattered public information into research that organizations can act on — with a method built for clarity, not intrusion. We specialise in Digital Footprint Analysis, Business Background Research, OSINT and Digital Risk Assessment.
We analyze information that is already publicly available — nothing more, nothing hidden.
Every engagement is delivered as structured research, organized around the question our client is actually trying to answer.
Our findings exist to support decisions — evaluating a partner, understanding a market, or assessing exposure.
Every method we use is lawful, source-documented, and repeatable — research that can stand up to scrutiny.
Four disciplines, one research standard.
Each service draws exclusively on lawful, publicly available sources — assembled into research a client can rely on.
Digital Footprint Analysis
A structured view of how an individual or organization appears online — websites, public profiles, domains, and overall digital visibility.
Business Background Research
Research into companies and organizations — ownership structures, corporate history, and publicly available business records.
Open Source Intelligence (OSINT)
Collection and analysis of information from lawful, publicly accessible sources — assembled into a single, coherent picture.
Digital Risk Assessment
Identification of publicly visible risk indicators, inconsistencies, and information gaps that warrant closer attention.
See the standard, not just hear about it.
Two real report structures built around fictional subjects — showing exactly how findings are sourced, rated, and delivered before you ever request one yourself.
Digital Footprint Analysis
A straightforward pre-engagement check on an independent consultant — how a clean result is still backed by full source coverage, cross-platform verification, and clearly rated confidence levels.

What is Digital Footprint Analysis?
It is a structured review of how an individual or organization appears online — including websites, public profiles, domains and overall digital visibility — based solely on publicly available information.
How is OSINT different from traditional background checks?
OSINT focuses on collecting and analysing information from open, publicly accessible sources. It complements traditional checks by revealing digital presence, inconsistencies and publicly visible risk indicators that may not appear in formal records.
Do you only use publicly available information?
Yes. Sentavora works exclusively with lawful, publicly available sources. We do not perform unauthorized access, hacking or surveillance.
Can you research companies and individuals outside Finland?
Yes. We serve international clients and conduct research across jurisdictions, always within the limits of publicly available information and applicable law.
