Financial institutions’ exacting requirements for due diligence and countering financial crime demand thorough exploitation of all available information sources. iTRAP’s security, integrity and auditability features ensure that users are not just working professionally with internet data, but that their actions are auditable and accountable – ideal for regulated environments and financial institutions. The iTRAP platform enables organisations to professionalise Internet research and ensure that users have the tools to work consistently and compliantly across all of their investigations online.
Most organisations understand the intelligence value that can be provided by the Internet. In a corporate context, the challenge is to make Internet research sufficiently quantifiable and professional so that it can be relied on for matters of strategic importance. We work with companies, including FTSE 100’s, to provide information to support decisions across the organisation, including support to sensitive matters at board level. We provide detailed open source information tailored to business development, risk management and security needs. We also support internal investigations into misconduct or impropriety.
Information gleaned from the Internet is relevant to an ever increasing range of cases. This includes everything from online defamation to conflicts of interest. Data extracted from the Internet has the opportunity to provide significant information advantage across a wide range of traditional investigations. We provide investigative support for legal teams working on a broad range of challenges. Blackdot analysts, using our proprietary intelligence platform, iTRAP, are transforming the power of openly sourced information for lawyers.
