Summary

Business Investigator is a part of the OpenDiscovery project that enables legitimate businesses to prove their identity and publish information about their services.

The specific purpose of Business Investigator is to provide information helping you to avoid phishing attacks from illegitimate persons and businesses.

Business Investigator relies on local business registries to provide a URL in the public records of their registered businesses. This is currently supported in Denmark, Norway, Finland, and New Zealand. Until other countries catch up, their businesses will need an EV or Qualified Web Site Certificate to benefit from OpenDiscovery.
