Halfway Through The S21 Global Alliance Database & Investigator Wellbeing Spotlight Session

As we reach the halfway point of the S21 Global Alliance Database and Investigator Wellbeing Spotlight Session, the response so far has been outstanding.

Over the past two weeks, we’ve shown how S21 GAD connects intelligence across jurisdictions while S21 Wellbeing protects the people doing the work. We’ve focused on how these tools improve operational speed, reduce duplicated effort, and bring much-needed support to frontline investigators working on some of the most complex and harmful cases.

What We’ve Covered So Far:

The S21 Spotlight Session is now in full flow. Here is a quick recap of what we’ve explored so far on social media:

  • World’s Largest Intel Database in DF – Over 3 billion records available offline and fully GDPR compliant
  • Ease of Connection + Easy for Triage – Quick to connect and integrate into tools like S21 Discovery with no internet required
  • Management Console – Designed for managers and welfare professionals to monitor caseloads and exposure
  • Wellbeing in All – Every tool we build includes features that support investigator wellbeing
  • Pre-Categorises 80% of Media – Automatically categorises up to 80 percent of media using AI, reducing exposure and improving review efficiency.
  • Intel Lookup – Search media by hash, tag, or region to uncover known links to victims or suspects within connected databases.
  • AI Describe – Generates case-ready CSAM descriptions offline to reduce investigator exposure and save time.
  • Pool Mode – Enables multiple users to review the same case with synced progress and no duplicated effort.

Catchup and watch the videos from the first two weeks now:

Here’s a Look at What’s Still to Come In the Second Half of the Spotlight:

  • Alliance Eye-Verified – Filters content by verification count, showing only media labelled the same by trusted investigators.
  • Revenge Pornography Tracking – Track tagged non-consensual content across cases to uncover repeat victims and shared media.
  • Green Imagery – Built-in decompression visuals help reset and support wellbeing after difficult content.
  • Privacy Mode – Instantly overlay or auto-hide media to protect others when stepping away or focusing on metadata.
  • Counter Terrorism Tracking – Track extremist content across investigations using GAD and uncover coordinated threats.
  • Synthetic Media Tracking – Detects and flags AI-generated or altered media offline, without relying on metadata.
  • Dynamic Break Alerts – Privacy Mode auto-activates after idle time, and reminders prompt breaks after 45 minutes.
  • Automated Categorisation and Victim ID – Use guided analysis and AI tools to categorise media and identify victims more quickly.
