Khan Web Security is a private online investigation agency. We turn scattered public signals into clear, evidence-grade intelligence — for due diligence, fraud, reputation and safety decisions. Discreet, ethical, and built to hold up under scrutiny.
Six core capabilities — each drawing only on lawful, publicly accessible information and authorised sources, then verified and documented to evidentiary standard.
Open-source intelligence across the public web, forums, records and archives to build a complete, verified picture.

Yes. We work exclusively with publicly available, lawfully accessible information and authorised sources. We don't hack accounts, use pretexting, or query private databases.

Pre-hire and partner vetting, due diligence on deals, fraud and scam verification, online reputation and impersonation, and authorised security testing of your own assets. We decline anything involving stalking, harassment, or unlawful surveillance.
