Digital HUMINT applies human-intelligence principles to lawful online engagement, assessment and source-related activity. It requires judgement about people, motivation, risk, authority and welfare as well as technical competence.
What good practice looks like
Professional practice places purpose, governance, proportionality and safety before engagement. Planning should cover identity, communication, escalation, records and the effect of activity on the person and organisation.
Risks and common mistakes
Treating online engagement as purely technical can create legal, ethical and operational risk. Capability must be matched to role and authority.
