For investigators

Evidence handled as evidence.

For investigators, examiners and the units that must answer to a regulator's code: custody from the moment of receipt, analysis that states its method and its limits, and reports a court can check.

What you will use

  • Evidence mode. Bytes leave only under a recorded reason, with dual control where you want it; a document in evidence cannot be moved, trashed or disposed of without an approved release.
  • A custody record that verifies offline. Append-only, hash-chained, pinned into the audit chain, exportable with a verifier you keep.
  • Trusted timestamps. RFC 3161 tokens on the chain's anchors and the custody record's milestones, verifiable with OpenSSL alone.
  • Eleven analysers with validation packs. PDF structure and signatures, office documents, email authentication, picture metadata and signal, credentials, media containers, YARA, bulk features, the operator's own detectors — each a method with its limits, run and kept by the instance.
  • Forensic images and hash sets. Images read in place with timelines; notable and restricted hash sets with quarantine; nothing ships that is not ours to ship.
  • Comparison with calibration, or none. Voice and face comparison reports a calibrated likelihood ratio or says plainly that a similarity is not an identification; each is a regulated feature behind a signed notice.
