Cyber Compass OSINT Journal

🧭 Why We Built the OSINT Journal

In a world where data is everywhere—and weaponized more often than we’d like—learning how to ethically gather, verify, and apply open-source intelligence (OSINT) isn’t optional. It’s powerful. It’s protective. And it can transform how you navigate the digital world.

We created the Cyber Compass OSINT Journal to give individuals, freelancers, and small businesses a structured, ethical, and self-guided space to track patterns, document investigations, and record digital insights. This journal empowers you to:

• Track suspicious accounts or patterns over time
• Log indicators of compromise (IOCs) and potential threats
• Record source credibility and access history
• Document search terms, tools used, and results
• Analyse findings and build case-oriented insight reports

It’s more than a notebook. It’s a functional system for digital pattern recognition.

🧰 What’s Inside

The journal is fully digital and privacy-respecting. Each template is repeated for multiple investigations and includes:

• Investigation Log – Track cases, IOCs, initial notes, and follow-up actions
• Source Tracker – Record source name, type, date accessed, and credibility notes
• Search Log – Log search terms, platforms/tools used, results, and next steps
• Data Storage Table – Capture relevant data links, descriptions, and context
• Analysis & Insight Sheet – Summarize insights, connections, and findings

Each section is intentionally designed to support ethical OSINT and build a clear trail of thought and action.

✨ Who It’s For

• Freelancers who want to protect their online presence
• Small business owners documenting impersonation or digital fraud
• Writers, researchers, or ethical hackers starting in OSINT
• Curious users tracking online misinformation or harassment

No gatekeeping. No overwhelm. Just structure and clarity.

🔐 Built on Cybersecurity Principles

This isn’t about surveillance. It’s about digital safety and literacy.

The journal emphasizes intent, transparency, and responsibility. It's ideal for anyone who wants to investigate digital behaviour or trace suspicious patterns without breaching ethical boundaries.

Every page guides you to think critically, question data sources, and protect your own digital trail while researching others.
