What Web-IQ does

Web-IQ B.V. is a Netherlands-based software company, headquartered in Groningen, that builds the Voyager OSINT (Open-Source Intelligence) Platform for law enforcement, intelligence and national security agencies, as well as private-sector security and risk organizations. Founded in 2011 by CEO Eldert van Wijngaarden and CTO Mathijs Homminga after direct exposure to online child sexual abuse material, the company is purpose-built to support safeguarding, criminal investigation and public trust workloads in highly regulated mission-critical environments.

The Voyager platform is delivered as a modular secure SaaS solution with EU data sovereignty and a published 99.9% uptime target, and is composed of a Data Module (petabyte-scale collection across open and restricted online environments including social media, encrypted messengers, darknet markets and forums), an Analysis Module (AI-assisted analytics across text, image and video, semantic and visual matching, knowledge graph linking, anomaly detection and near real-time enrichment), and a Delivery Module (a collaborative analyst UI plus a programmatic API). Specialized modules such as the Human Trafficking Intelligence Module address vertical investigative workflows. The platform is ISO27001:2022 certified and operates under a GDPR-compliant controller/processor model with full audit trails, role-based access and explicit exclusion of EU-sanctioned counterparties.

Web-IQ generates revenue through enterprise SaaS subscriptions to Voyager, sold via direct, high-touch enterprise sales targeting public and private sector organizations; no public pricing is disclosed and customer acquisition is driven by 'Get a demo' and contact-form CTAs. The company operates from five offices - Groningen and Amsterdam (Netherlands), Madrid (Spain), Stockholm (Sweden), and Vancouver (Canada) - serves 130+ clients across 30+ countries, and is led by a founder-controlled executive team that includes COO Xabi Krant, CMO Simon Peterson and CSIO Susanne Drakborg. The firm is privately held, with no disclosed institutional funding, no parent company, and no subsidiaries.

Emerging players

• Magnet Forensics: Magnet Forensics (now part of Grayshift) provides digital forensics and OSINT tooling used by law enforcement to investigate crimes including child exploitation. It overlaps with Web-IQ's mission focus on child abuse and human trafficking investigations, though with a stronger device-forensics emphasis.

• OSINT Industries: OSINT Industries is a specialized phone-number and digital footprint OSINT provider used by law enforcement, fraud and due-diligence teams. It is a partial overlap with Web-IQ on investigator-focused OSINT lookups, though narrower in scope than Voyager's full platform.

Broad incumbents

• Dataminr: Dataminr delivers real-time event and risk detection from public data streams to enterprise and public-sector clients. It overlaps with Web-IQ on continuous monitoring, AI-assisted alerting and API delivery of OSINT-derived signals, though it covers a much broader corporate security footprint.
• Palantir Technologies: Palantir's Foundry and Gotham platforms serve defense, intelligence and law enforcement with data integration and analytics at scale. It competes with Web-IQ for the same government buyers and increasingly overlaps on OSINT-derived intelligence workflows and API delivery.

• Babel Street: Babel Street provides an OSINT and publicly available information platform (Rosette) for law enforcement, defense and commercial customers. It directly competes with Web-IQ in multi-modal OSINT, entity resolution and API access for mission-critical intelligence use cases.
• Maltego: Maltego offers an OSINT and link-analysis platform widely used by law enforcement, security teams and investigators. It overlaps directly with Web-IQ's Voyager on knowledge-graph-led investigation, entity linking and integrations into investigator workflows.
• Fivecast: Fivecast offers AI-driven OSINT and open-source intelligence platforms for defense, intelligence, law enforcement and corporate security. It overlaps with Web-IQ's Voyager on multi-modal analytics across social, surface and dark-web data for safeguarding and national security missions.
