Analysis & Case Management for Investigators

Observation Deck is a cutting-edge analysis tool crafted with precision and expertise to illuminate the complex networks and relationships that define the modern landscape of organized threat and criminal activities.


Comprehensive Analysis & Investigation

Designed and developed by intelligence and law enforcement analysts with extensive experience in counter-terrorism and counter-organized crime, this platform embodies a deep understanding of the methodologies and practices essential for case building and threat analysis.

Observation Deck supports and enhances the work of OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) professionals, journalists, security researchers, financial crime investigators, law firms, and governmental agencies, featuring an inbuilt privacy audit to ensure secure and ethical investigations.

 Our Approach

Observation Deck was purpose built for analyzing organized threats in conflict zones, providing a structured system for managing case-related intelligence. It later expanded into cybercrime investigations, including cryptocurrency fraud, and became a key tool for organizing litigation and investigative data.

The system evolves alongside real-world needs, recently focusing on humanitarian evacuations and war zone interventions. Continuous user feedback ensures it remains a dynamic, responsive platform for intelligence, legal, and operational support.

  Case Management

Easily create projects for cases such as investigations, research, or litigation. Customize projects by assigning them types and relevant countries to enable automated features. Criminal networks operate across borders, easily share profiles and assets to other projects.

 User Assignment

Assign analysts, investigators or project managers to specific cases to ensure separation of confidential information and to manage data securely.

 Monitor Events

Once a project is created the system will monitor news events and match individuals being investigated to events as well as mark other entities or locations that are relevant to your case using system-integrated machine learning.

 Profile Management

Manage and track key profiles efficiently with our intuitive tools. Watch the demonstration below to see it in action.

 Infrastructure Analysis

Observation Deck integrates geolocated major infrastructure data to support critical infrastructure planning, emergency management, and risk assessment. By mapping essential sites, such as power grids, transportation hubs, water facilities, and emergency services**, the system enhances decision-making for evacuations, disaster response, and security operations.

Each infrastructure site is enriched with detailed data profiles, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of its function, vulnerabilities, and interdependencies. This capability enables analysts, planners, and responders to anticipate challenges and deploy resources effectively in high-risk scenarios.

  Geolocation & Data Profiles

  • Airports
    • Small, Medium, and Large
  • Energy: Power Stations
    • Coal, Oil, and Gas
  • Health Facilities (Coming)
    • Clinics & Hospitals
  • Sea Ports (Coming)
    • Locations and Capacities

 Machine Learning

The Machine Learning layer in Observation Deck enhances intelligence and investigative workflows by autonomously identifying, extracting, and linking critical data points. It processes structured and unstructured data to automatically and accurately discover connections between people, places, and events.

This ML-driven system continuously evolves, adapting to new case data and expanding its internal knowledge base. The system supports entity recognition, relationship mapping, and localized data processing to ensure privacy and security.

 Machine Learning Features

  • Integrated Machine Learning
  • Identify & Extract Entities
    • People, Places & Events
  • Identify Known & Unknown Entities
  • Internal Knowledge Base Updates with Use
  • Project & Client Specific Knowledge Base
  • Data Processed Locally

 2FA & Encryption

Observation Deck complies with GDPR, CCPA, and other data protection laws. When adding a user from a region with data protection requirements, the system flags the entry and records the legal or operational reason for storing their data.

Justifications may include investigative journalism, legal proceedings academic, or national security research. This ensures transparency and supports internal privacy audits.

  Security & Encryption Features

  • 2FA Required for All Users
  • End-to-End Encryption for Sensitive Data
  • Justification Logging for Data Retention
  • Regular Compliance & Security Audits
  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
  • Automatic Data Integrity Checks
  • No Centralized Access to User-Stored Data
  • Incident Response & Breach Notification Plan

 Universal & User Controlled Data

Observation Deck distinguishes between universal data and project-specific data to ensure both accessibility and security. Universal data, including sanctions, country data, demographics, and infrastructure, is available system-wide for all users, providing a reliable foundation for research and analysis.

In contrast, project data (client data) is stored separately and remains accessible only to the account owner and their designated users. This ensures that sensitive information, such as investigations or proprietary research, remains private and protected. Access controls prevent unauthorized viewing or modification, maintaining data integrity and confidentiality.

 Universal

  • Sanctions
  • Country Data
  • Demographics
  • Infrastructure

  Client Data

  • Data Only Available to Client Account
  • Approved Users Only
  • Strict Access Controls
  • Machine Learning Localised to Client Account
