CALEA compliance, hosted and handled.
A high-capacity solution that delivers CALEA compliance with the simplicity, reliability and savings of a hosted model. No mediation device to buy, no VPN to stand up — just an intercept access point that connects to the compliance company law enforcement already works with every day.
The full Trusted Third Party, not just a box.
As a Hosted CALEA Compliance Service customer, a VoIP or Broadband provider receives the full benefit of Subsentio as its Trusted Third Party — end-to-end CALEA compliance. That’s three things most vendors leave to you.
The technology solution
State-of-the-art data security, certified reliability, and technical compliance with CALEA to the applicable standard — hosted, so there’s nothing to operate on-site.
In-house court-order review
Every lawful-intercept order is reviewed for validity before it’s implemented — an invalid order returned for correction, not blindly executed.
Hands-on law-enforcement handling
Subsentio interacts directly with the agency throughout the intercept — provisioning, delivery, and deactivation at the court-ordered end date.
Your site, our data center.
Hosted CALEA begins with a small collection device at each site that needs an intercept access point. Each one reports to a single hosted collection point in the Subsentio data center, which can serve up to a hundred sites at once — and which holds your bandwidth costs down by sending only the traffic an order actually requires upstream, rather than everything and sorting it later.
Court order arrives
When the provider receives a lawful-intercept order, the hosted collection point provisions the on-site device to look for the specific traffic named in the investigation.
Target traffic spotted
Traffic is targeted by parameters like DHCP identifiers, SIP phone numbers, URLs and IP addresses, and the on-site device spots the designated traffic as it passes.
Formatted & delivered
It is routed to the hosted collection point for formatting and transmission to the law-enforcement collection center, in the standardized format the agency requires.
Built for today’s high-bandwidth networks.
Subsentio’s hosting solution provides total CALEA compliance whether the need is for multiple networks or diverse remote points in the same network — reliably, securely and economically.
Outsourcing CALEA, answered.
What is a CALEA managed service?
CALEA compliance delivered as an operated service rather than a purchased system: the intercept capability hosted or engineered to your network, the court-order validation, provisioning, delivery and record carried by a Trusted Third Party, on a 24-hour watch. A CALEA managed service is what Subsentio provides as a Trusted Third Party; hosted CALEA compliance is the version with no mediation equipment on your site.
What does "lawful intercept as a service" or "managed lawful intercept" mean?
The same thing by another name: lawful intercept as a service is the capability and its operation provided by a third party on a subscription, instead of built and staffed in-house. Lawful intercept outsourcing and managed lawful intercept add the human half — validation of every order, delivery to the agency, the record — to the technology.
How to outsource CALEA compliance?
Authorize a Trusted Third Party. The FCC's 2006 Second Report and Order expressly permits a carrier to use a TTP to meet its CALEA obligations, while the carrier remains responsible for compliance. In practice: a technical analysis of your network, a solution engineered to it (hosted or on site), the SSI plan and senior-officer designation, a Service Provider Authorization so the TTP can act on orders, and a 24-hour desk from that day on. CALEA compliance outsourcing is how most providers Subsentio serves have met the obligation since 2007.
What is compliance as a service for telecom carriers?
The managed-compliance model applied to the obligations that arrive as legal process: lawful intercept under CALEA, records production under the Stored Communications Act, and DMCA notice handling. Compliance as a service telecom providers buy from Subsentio means one company carries the capability, the validation and the record for all of them. Telecom compliance outsourcing of this kind is the whole of Subsentio's business — the carrier compliance services we offer are these and nothing else.
What does a lawful intercept services provider actually do?
A lawful intercept company operates the chain between your network and the agency: validates the order, provisions the target, mediates the traffic into the delivery standard, delivers it securely, logs everything, and terminates on the order's date — for every order, every time. A lawful intercept provider that only supplies technology, or only advises, is doing one part of that.
Do I need a lawful intercept consultant?
Often not. A consultant advises on what to build; a Trusted Third Party builds and operates it. Where advice is needed — a coverage question, a network with an unusual topology, a Team Telecom condition — Subsentio's technical analysis is free and specific to your network, and it ends in a recommendation rather than a report.
