Who Needs Security, Surveillance & Investigation Technology?
Security and investigation technology is not limited to one industry, organization size or professional role.
The correct technology depends on the operational requirement — what must be protected, detected, monitored,
collected, investigated, recovered or analyzed.
This architecture connects professional search intent with the technology domains required to address real-world
security, privacy, surveillance, intelligence and digital evidence requirements.
Professional & Operational Audiences
How can executives protect sensitive meetings, offices, residences and confidential business information from surveillance or unauthorized recording?
Typical Requirements
Protect board meetings and negotiations; investigate suspected listening devices; inspect executive offices,
residences and temporary meeting locations; investigate suspected tracking devices; support corporate investigations
involving digital evidence.

Digital Evidence Acquisition
Critical Distinction
Data recovery is not the same as digital forensics. Recovery focuses on retrieving information,
while forensic workflows may additionally involve acquisition, preservation, examination, analysis and interpretation.
What technologies support law-enforcement investigations, surveillance detection and digital evidence collection?
Typical Requirements
Technical surveillance investigations; hidden-camera investigation; RF and wireless analysis; authorized audio and
video evidence collection; GPS and location intelligence; mobile-device examination; computer evidence recovery and SIM analysis.
