Company
Built on a prospecting desk, not in a pitch deck.
Overt exists because we needed it and couldn't buy it.
The story, short version
Overt began inside a cloud-security integrator in Warsaw, on the desk where displacement deals are actually won and lost. The team sold against incumbents every week and kept hitting the same wall: technographic lists that were stale on arrival, wrong without explanation, and useless in front of a security-literate buyer.
So the desk built its own instrument: a scanner that reads public infrastructure, keeps its own corpus fresh, and — the part that mattered in real conversations — attaches the exact signal behind every finding. Reps stopped opening with claims and started opening with receipts.
Overt is that instrument, productized: a standalone platform for every security seller who has the same wall in front of them.
Lists tell you what to believe.
Evidence lets you defend it.

Principles we can be held to
Evidence first
If we can't show the signal, we don't ship the claim. That rule built the product, and it writes this website too — every figure here traces to a query against the live database.
Public signals only
Detection reads what companies publish to the internet by operating there. No intrusion, no scraping behind logins, no scan-index purchases. The method survives legal review because there is nothing to hide in it.
Honest limits
We publish what the method cannot see, and the product says "none detected", never "none exists". A tool whose confidence you can trust is worth more than one that is always sure.
Deep markets, not thin coverage
Depth in one market beats thin coverage of twenty. A market corpus is built the way a local rep would know it — official registries, financials, hiring, routing — and only then does the model move to the next market.
The GDPR posture, concretely
What detection reads
Publicly observable infrastructure signals about companies — response headers, DNS, certificates, routing announcements — and company records from public registries. Not individuals.
Where people data comes from
Contact and buying-team enrichment inside the product uses licensed data providers, under their lawful bases, with retention limits enforced in the platform.
Where it runs
On Cloudflare's network, with data stored in the EU. [DPA available at signature] [Sub-processor list available on request]
