A Single Access Layer for Every Mission

Scout is a single platform that gives your organization consistent, governed access to hundreds of websites, platforms, and apps critical to your mission from locations around the world, reducing setup time while protecting your personnel and organization from exposure.

THE ACCESS PROBLEM

Your Team Focuses on the Mission. Scout Handles the Access.

Even if your analysts already know what good OPSEC looks like, the challenge is putting it into practice in every case: using the right and separate environment, appropriate networking, and a defensible record of the work. Scout lets your organization set those standards once and apply them consistently across investigations.

Once the investigation is complete and your team has captured the evidence it needs, close the session. Scout tears down the environment it ran in, so it can’t be reopened later.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know whether my team needs SockPuppet Scout or SockPuppet Alias?

Is your work passive (OSINT) or active (HUMINT)? If it’s passive, Scout is your best match. For HUMINT and active engagement with deep undercover work, Alias is our recommendation. Tell us what the case looks like and we’ll help you place it.

Scout is licensed on a subscription basis. Contact our team for a quote specific to your organization’s requirements.

Seconds, once your organization is onboarded. No environment to build, no credential to hand over, no separate login to remember.

Yes. Sessions exit from the region your case requires, so local search results, regional marketplaces and local content render as they do in that location, not as they appear from your office. Ask us which regions are available for the work you have in mind.
