Purpose-built triage software for law enforcement agencies. Quickly identify contraband and investigative leads by scanning targeted locations — not entire drives. Get actionable results in minutes, not hours.
Built for Law Enforcement & Investigative Agencies
Scout is a triage tool — not a forensic imager. It scans targeted locations where contraband is commonly stored, giving investigators actionable leads in minutes without the hours-long overhead of a full-disk review.
Extract and analyze browser history from devices. Quickly surface suspicious URLs, search terms, and browsing patterns relevant to the investigation.
Import known-contraband hash databases and cross-reference files in targeted locations. Parallel scanning across all CPU cores delivers results 10-50x faster — matches are flagged instantly.
Run keyword lists against file names, paths, and browser artifacts to surface investigative leads. Customizable per case for precise, targeted results.
Automatically compiles images and videos from common contraband locations into a single review interface with thumbnail previews — no manual folder-by-folder digging required.
Detect signs of unauthorized access, suspicious applications, and anomalous system activity that may indicate evidence of criminal behavior.
Generate court-ready triage reports with evidence thumbnails, hash values, and case metadata. Document findings for follow-up forensic analysis.
