Laws, requirements and procedures vary from country to country. In some regions service providers are required to purchase intercept equipment, deploy it, maintain it and operate it at the request of law enforcement. In other regions, law enforcement may sponsor the purchase of the equipment and then work in partnership with service providers to deploy and operate it. And in other regions, law enforcement purchases the equipment and deploys it across multiple service providers while retaining centralized operational control

With this in mind, SS8 has developed Xcipio® in a manner to suit any of these scenarios with complete flexibility in the deployment methods, supporting both local and remote operation. Operationally, Xcipio follows regional protocols and legislative requirements, performing standards-based delivery of intercepted traffic and providing a full suite of investigative tools.

For the investigative process, visual reconstruction and analysis of lawfully intercepted digital communications traffic is critical for law enforcement. SS8's Intellego™ monitoring center application enables investigators and analysts to view a target's Internet communications exactly as they were created — in real time. Integrated communication analysis features expose hidden relationships, associate suspicious communication behaviors to specific identities, and help identify new suspects. From this information evidentiary materials can be produced for case review by prosecutors and for courtroom presentation.

With a true end-to-end solution, SS8's lawful intercept and communications monitoring center portfolio provides vital assistance to law enforcement agencies in identifying and apprehending targets involved in criminal activities including child pornography, kidnapping, drug trafficking, acts of terrorism, fraud, and other threats to personal safety and national security.
