What makes us different

The key themes that underpin us as your most trusted partner in digital forensics.

  • Ethics

    We adhere to the same ethical standards as our policing partners. Many of our team are former police officers or civilian analysts and all our staff are security cleared. We pride ourselves on our honesty and integrity.

  • Assurance

    Our software is rigorously tested to assure its accuracy and reliability. We ensure we comply with standards such as ISO 17025 and collaborate with police forensic laboratories to establish ground truth data.

  • Algorithms

    Our flagship CSAS software generates a visual parser that explains the logic and processes behind the algorithms we use. This has been approved by courts throughout the UK and internationally.

Our mission

From humble origins we've become leaders in innovative software solutions, training and consultancy that empowers law enforcement. We're relied on by 95% of police forces in the UK, underpinned by a client covenant that governs everything we do.
