A Different Kind of Investigative Firm
You need answers: careful, discreet, and legally sound. NCRB is a licensed Dutch investigation agency specializing in digital investigation, OSINT, and evidence-focused reporting. Based in the Netherlands, working on files with a cross-border element in more than twenty countries.
Where traditional investigators rely on physical methods and legacy databases, our approach is digital-first. Using open-source intelligence (OSINT) as the foundation of every engagement, we find information that others miss, across social media, public records, corporate registries, and digital footprints worldwide.
You work with the lead investigator of NCRB from intake to report. When a case needs extra capacity or specific expertise, we bring in a vetted specialist from our fixed network. Always under the responsibility of NCRB, under confidentiality, and only with your knowledge. One contract, one report, one point of contact.
