Different nations, different mandates. One trusted third party.
VoIP and broadband erased the borders in your network. They didn't erase them on the regulatory side of lawful intercept and records production. Every nation writes its own law-enforcement-assistance mandates, and non-compliance is illegal everywhere. We extend the same trusted third party (TTP) discipline to providers operating abroad.
The full service offering, across borders.
For more than two decades we've run lawful-intercept and records-production services for U.S. providers through our principal-agent trusted third party model, and since 2014 we've extended the service to data retention abroad. The same disciplines now support providers wherever their networks reach.
Lawful Intercept (LI)
Real-time intercept service through technical interfaces with your network, implemented to each jurisdiction's standards when a lawful order arrives.
Records Production (RP)
Legal demands processed for the US, Belgium, Canada, Brazil and Australia, the same analysts, the same discipline.
Data Retention (DR)
Government retention mandates define what you store, how long, and how it's secured. We operate the whole burden, storage rules, retention periods, formats, access and encryption.
Expanding abroad multiplies the confusion.
Which country's rules apply to which traffic? An American provider entering the EU meets an entirely new set of mandates, and a provider unsure of its obligations at home is flying blind abroad.
The one constant across every jurisdiction: non-compliance is against the law and carries serious financial penalties. Our team assists in determining your actual obligations, country by country, and stands up the compliance solution each one requires.
The right data in the wrong standard is useless.
Surveillance technical standards differ country to country. Deliver a target's traffic to an EU agency using the U.S. ATIS standard, where ETSI prevails, and the agency will reject the data and you are in non-compliance.
That's the type of failure our legal and engineering teams exist to prevent: we furnish an intercept solution matched to each country's legal and technical demands, and as networks migrate to virtual and cloud infrastructure, the solution migrates with them.
Foreign providers entering the U.S. get their own challenges.
A foreign-owned provider applying for an FCC license to serve the U.S. public will likely face a Team Telecom review, the inter-agency task force that vets whether new entrants can meet the needs of U.S. law enforcement and national security. At minimum that means a valid CALEA solution; often it also means naming a trusted third party on American soil prepared to receive court surveillance orders on the provider's behalf.
That named third party is precisely the role Subsentio has played for two decades, for the largest carriers and the smallest market entrants alike.
