What Securitas' Acquisition of Liferaft Means for Your Team
On February 3, 2026, Securitas announced a binding agreement to acquire Liferaft, a Canadian OSINT platform used by corporate security teams and security firms for open source intelligence monitoring.
Acquisitions of this nature are significant for existing customers. Product roadmaps often shift to align with the acquirer's strategic priorities. Support and development resources may be redirected. Pricing structures frequently change during integration periods.

Why Consider DigitalStakeout
DigitalStakeout combines continuous monitoring and OSINT investigation in a single platform with published entity-based pricing. If you need coverage across surface web, social media, and dark web with AI classification across 16 risk domains, it may be worth a look.
Why Security Teams Choose DigitalStakeout
Four reasons organizations switching from Liferaft choose DigitalStakeout as their OSINT platform.
Transparent, Entity-Based Pricing
DigitalStakeout publishes pricing publicly. Plans scale by entity count — you pay for what you monitor, not how many analysts access the platform. All pricing is published on the website with no sales calls required.
Entity-based pricing means you pay for what you monitor — not for how many analysts access the platform. Liferaft pricing is not publicly available and requires a sales engagement.
Independently Owned, Customer-Driven
DigitalStakeout is a private US-based organization backed by 25+ private US-based investors. Product decisions are driven by customer needs, not by a parent company's consolidation strategy.
With Liferaft now under Securitas, its product direction will align with Securitas' broader physical security portfolio. Teams that need a platform dedicated to OSINT and digital risk protection should evaluate whether that continued focus is assured.
Built for Multi-Client Operations
Security firms managing multiple clients need workspace separation. DigitalStakeout lets you organize content into secure compartments for different teams or client missions — from 2 workspaces on the Starter plan to 20 workspaces on the Enterprise plan.
Combined with entity-based pricing, security firms can manage multiple client environments from a single subscription — a fraction of what comparable multi-tenant setups cost on other platforms.
7 Dedicated OSINT Investigation Tools
DigitalStakeout includes 7 purpose-built OSINT search engines: Data Breach Search, Domain Search, Location-Based Social Media Search, People Search, Social Media Profile Search (750+ platforms), Web Chatter Search (25 million+ sources), and Website Search.
These tools are available to all plan tiers and can be used for both proactive monitoring and reactive investigations — from tracking exposed credentials to mapping an entity's digital footprint across 300 million registered domains.
