A career spanning investigation and computing
Alain Stevens is a former private investigator who specialised in cybercrime and digital investigation. His professional work is associated with the Cyberdétective® identity; the trademark was registered in 2016, and a dedicated software development activity was established in 2019.
Drawing on digital investigation experience and international press coverage, his current role is that of a software consultant specialising in digital research tools.
Today: technology rather than investigative assignments
Alain Stevens no longer conducts private investigations or searches for personal information on behalf of clients. The work consists of building, configuring and explaining IT tools which individuals and professionals operate on their own responsibility.
Software development
Windows applications, web platforms, SaaS, plugins and data processing or organisation tools.
AI and automation
Technical workflow orchestration, natural-language assistance and human-supervised modules.
OSINT training
Research methods, source validation, documentation and the limits of digital analysis.
Risk prevention
Awareness programmes, fraud prevention software and cybersecurity guidance.
Making specialist software more approachable
The tools address the needs of non-specialists facing online fraud, impersonation or cyber threats, as well as professionals seeking to improve their own technical workflows.
Technology should help structure research, understand its limits and preserve useful material. It should never promise a result or take the place of authorities or regulated professions.
