ANDECO Institute Becomes Bronze Level Sponsor

The OSINT Foundation is pleased to announce that ANDECO Institute has partnered with us as a Bronze Level Sponsor. The OSINT Foundation is the professional association for OSINT practitioners who support the U.S. Intelligence Community. Corporate sponsors support the mission of the Foundation, which is to promote OSINT tradecraft, elevate the discipline, and develop the practitioner community to advance the national security of the United States. Our sponsors enable the Foundation to provide opportunities for OSINT practitioners to grow through forums, continuing education, promulgating OSINT best practices, developing professional certification standards, and recognizing performance excellence.

ANDECO is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that supports national security leaders and federal agencies by providing information on commercially available information (CAI) for use in mission-related planning and analysis. As an independent, mission-focused entity, ANDECO offers context and vendor-neutral guidance to government sponsors, acquisition professionals, and vendors. The organization’s mission is to align commercial data with national security requirements, helping decision-makers understand and navigate available data sources. ANDECO does not sell data or platforms; it provides stakeholders with information and resources related to the use of commercially available data in support of public-sector needs.

“As a nonprofit dedicated to supporting national security and public sector missions, ANDECO is committed to aligning commercially available information with the needs of our partners. We appreciate the opportunity to participate in the OSINT Foundation community and look forward to contributing to ongoing discussions around the responsible use of public and commercial data.”
— Joe K., CEO, ANDECO

Barbara Alexander, president of the OSINT Foundation, commented, “The OSINT Foundation welcomes ANDECO Institute as a new Bronze Level sponsor. Its commitment to aligning commercial data with mission needs enriches ongoing conversations around the use of publicly available information, including commercially available information, in answering intelligence questions. As intelligence and national security communities continue to refine their tradecraft and evaluation of publicly available information and its commercially available subset, we look forward to engaging with the company and to the perspectives it brings to the practitioner community. We thank ANDECO Institute for its support of the Foundation and its mission, and look forward to its participation in our discussions and events.”
