Crime and Fraud Investigations
No investigation is complete without a clear picture of identity
Investigations surface suspicious activity every day. What's harder to find is enough identity evidence to explain what's actually happening, who's behind it, and whether the conclusion will hold up under review. Pipl Search gives investigation teams the identity verification data they need to close that gap, without replacing the systems they already use.
Where identity evidence breaks down in investigation workflows
Investigation teams don't struggle because they lack systems or rules. They struggle when those systems surface activity that internal data alone can't fully explain. The identity gap shows up in predictable ways across fraud, compliance, and enforcement workflows.
Eliminate blind spots across online and offline identity
Shared identifiers, overlapping accounts, and fragmented records make it hard to tell benign reuse from coordinated abuse. Pipl Search connects those fragments into usable identity evidence before cases escalate unnecessarily.
Uncover relationships that isolated signals miss
Shared devices, overlapping contact information, and linked accounts can reveal coordinated activity that looks unrelated at the surface level. Pipl Search surfaces those relationships so investigators can act on evidence rather than suspicion.Shorten the time to reach a resolution
When analysts have the identity relationships and supporting evidence they need, cases move faster. Pipl Search reduces the time investigators spend searching for context and increases the time they spend acting on it.
How Pipl Search closes the identity gap investigations depend on
Most investigation teams don't lack systems or signals. They lack the identity context to explain what those signals mean together. Pipl Search is built to close that gap by supplying raw identity verification data that connects relationships, explains inconsistencies, and holds up under scrutiny.
The identity gap that grows as investigations get more complex
As fraud and crime operations expand across accounts, channels, and regions, the gap between what monitoring systems surface and what investigation teams can confidently explain gets wider. Internal data alone can't show how identifiers relate across markets, devices, and personas. Without that context, review queues grow, cases stall, and decisions become harder to defend when they're challenged.
Identity evidence that holds up where and when it needs to
Investigation conclusions don't just need to be right; they need to hold up under escalation, enforcement review, dispute, and audit. When identity evidence is incomplete or fragmented, the reasoning behind a decision breaks down the moment it's questioned. Pipl Search delivers identity verification data that retains its meaning across systems, teams, and compliance environments, so conclusions can be defended with evidence rather than inference.
Two ways to access identity evidence across investigation workflows
Pipl Search gives investigation teams access to the same underlying identity data through two purpose-built workflows. Search API delivers raw identity verification data directly into customer-owned platforms so automated systems can resolve more cases without escalation. Search Insights gives analysts a visual investigation interface that surfaces linked identities, structured signals, and behavioral patterns in one place so they can move from suspicion to evidence faster.
The identity graph underneath every query
Pipl Search draws on Pipl's global identity graph, built over more than 20 years of making fragmented global identity data usable in high-stakes enterprise decisions. That depth gives investigation teams the signal coverage to find meaningful identity evidence even when records are incomplete, inconsistent, or spread across global markets.

Raw identity data, not outcomes
Relationship depth that holds up under scrutiny
Pipl's identity graph preserves relationships between identifiers rather than collapsing them into a single resolved profile, so teams can observe reuse, overlap, and inconsistency directly.
Consistent across global markets
Pipl Search is built for use across regions, languages, and data ecosystems without relying on region-specific assumptions that obscure identity context or create coverage gaps.
