Infrastructure Verification
Your network’s real boundaries
Know what belongs to you—and where it actually is
Large organizations struggle to answer a question that sounds simple: what infrastructure is ours? Acquisitions bring assets that never made it into the inventory. IP space registered to your organization may be operated by a downstream customer—or vice versa. Vendors self-report their infrastructure but can’t tell you where traffic to their servers actually flows. Many third-party risk platforms rely on inaccurate proxies and incorrectly assign responsibility. The result is a gap between what your records say and what actually exists on the internet.
Oscar closes that gap. Our proprietary techniques distinguish between infrastructure you own, infrastructure your vendors operate, and infrastructure controlled by downstream customers. We verify compliance with data sovereignty requirements by identifying routing through sensitive regions and cloud dependencies in problematic jurisdictions. And we do it with physics, not paperwork—latency measurements from over 1,100 collectors worldwide constrain where infrastructure can physically be, regardless of what registry records claim.
Distinguish ownership from registration
Registry records reflect paperwork. Oscar identifies who actually operates infrastructure using behavioral signals, certificate patterns, and routing data—not just who registered it.
Verify data sovereignty compliance
Map your infrastructure and your vendors’ against jurisdictional requirements. Identify assets in restricted regions or data crossing borders that regulations prohibit.
Audit vendor claims
Compare what vendors attest against what Oscar observes. Our geolocation combines IP aliasing with latency measurements to verify where infrastructure physically sits—not just where someone says it is.
Monitor routing paths
Traceroute data shows where traffic actually flows. Identify foreign transit, routing through sensitive regions, or dependencies outside compliant jurisdictions.
Compliance in practice, not on paper
Commercial geolocation services exist to serve ads. They’re accurate enough to show you a nearby restaurant, but they reflect where organizations are headquartered—not where specific infrastructure operates. Our studies show 40–60% disagreement between commercial providers at city level. For GDPR compliance or data localization verification, that’s not close enough.
Most compliance tools stop at “where is this IP?” Oscar answers the harder question: “where does traffic to this IP actually go?” A server can be in Frankfurt and still have its traffic routed through infrastructure in a country your regulators care about. Routing paths change. Providers make BGP announcements that redirect traffic through unexpected jurisdictions. These aren’t edge cases—they’re how the internet works.
Oscar combines geolocation with routing analysis and ownership verification to give you the full picture: what’s yours, where it physically sits, where traffic flows to reach it, and whether any of those answers have changed since you last checked.
