Services Overview

Investigations You Can Defend

SPEAR delivers nationwide, compliance‑driven background investigations and risk assessments, supported by licensed investigative authority in Virginia and Maryland. Our work is built for clients who need accurate, defensible, and ethically sourced information — not automated database dumps.

We provide three core investigative capabilities:

Nationwide Background & Compliance Investigations

Ideal for employers, landlords, and organizations requiring compliant, human‑curated screening.

 

OSINT Background Check (No SSN or Consent Required)

Perfect for early‑stage reviews, surveys, and situations where SSN/consent is not available.

 

Full‑Scope Background Review (Flagship Product)

Designed for attorneys, high‑risk decisions, and cases requiring a court‑defensible investigation.

At SPEAR Background & Investigative Services, every product is built for accuracy, compliance, and defensibility. Our reports are licensed, human‑curated, and supported by a structured risk‑assessment process — giving you clarity you can act on and confidence you can defend.
