Promoting Blackdot Solutions and its role as a trusted partner in fighting financial crime
Blackdot Solutions is a UK tech company based in Cambridge. Its mission is to help investigators use Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) more effectively by equipping them with the software they need to understand threats, combat criminal activity, and reduce risk.
Blackdot’s award-winning platform, Videris, is trusted by government agencies, law enforcement, financial institutions, and major corporations around the world to streamline investigation processes and improve outcomes.
The company selected CommsCo as its PR partner in May 2025 to build awareness of OSINT in anti-financial crime and establish credibility across government, financial services, and corporate sectors.
Since starting with Blackdot 10 months ago, we have delivered:
- 47 pieces of earned media coverage
- Over 17 million combined UMVs across all coverage
- Placement in financial, security, business, and tech publications, including The Banker, Help Net Security, SC Magazine, Security Journal, TechRadar Pro, and Gibraltar Chronicle –
- Thought leadership features and interviews for CEO Stuart Clarke in TechMarketView, Global Investigations Review, and Help Net Security
- Award recognition, including nominations for the RegTech Insight Awards and inclusion in TechRound100
- Supported the launch of the ‘State of OSINT 2025’ report, shaping sector understanding
Establishing credibility through strategic partnerships
A key focus has been showcasing Blackdot’s work with Financial Intelligence Units. This includes announcing its partnerships with FIU Gibraltar and FIU Jersey, which both adopted Videris to enhance their OSINT capabilities.
These partnership announcements enhanced regional visibility, generating coverage in publications such as Global Investigations Review, Gibraltar Chronicle, Bailiwick Express, and Channel Eye, positioning Blackdot as a trusted partner to government financial intelligence organisations.
Launching industry innovation
Another area of focus has been product launches and CEO visibility. This includes managing the launch of Videris Automate – an Agentic AI-enabled solution that automates investigation workflows – which secured coverage in key security verticals such Help Net Security and SC Magazine.
“CommsCo has been an effective partner in helping us communicate the value of OSINT across the sectors we serve. The team grasps both the technical aspects of our platform and the context in which our clients operate. They’ve supported us in building credibility with financial crime, government, and security audiences.”
