In the world of digital forensics, especially when investigating child sexual abuse material (CSAM), speed, accuracy, and mental wellbeing are paramount. At Semantics 21 (S21), we’re committed to supporting law enforcement in the critical mission to identify, protect, and rescue victims from exploitation. Our innovative tool, S21 LASERi-X, is designed to make your investigations faster, more accurate, and more efficient, ensuring that you can focus on what matters most—saving lives.
A Proven Solution with a Mission
For nearly a decade, S21 LASERi-X has been trusted by law enforcement agencies worldwide, well recognised even by Royalty, receiving the 2019 Queen’s Award for Enterprise: Innovation and 2024 King’s Award for Enterprise: Innovation for our outstanding contribution to law enforcement. While it has largely been available through word-of-mouth, we are now working to expand its reach to ensure more investigators have access to this powerful tool. S21’s motto, “Every Victim Matters,” drives everything we do. Our mission is not just to provide technology but to empower those on the front lines of child protection.
Through S21 LASERi-X, we’ve already helped identify thousands of victims each year, and we continue to support investigators in rapidly categorising CSAM content, identifying victims, and ultimately bringing perpetrators to justice.
To do so, we’re proud to support and work alongside all of the tools in your digital forensics toolkit, because history has shown us that one-tool-solutions don’t work and cost lives. Only by creating an open community and through collaboration can we together offer experts like yourselves the best support possible.

Connecting the World’s Biggest CSAM Intelligence Database: The S21 Global Alliance Database (GAD)
One of the most powerful features of S21 LASERi-X is its integration with the S21 Global Alliance Database (GAD)—the world’s largest database of CSAM intelligence. With over 3 billion records from law enforcement agencies across the globe, this database is a key resource for identifying victims and perpetrators.
How It Helps:
- Pre-categorisation of Files: S21 LASERi-X automatically matches files against the database, significantly reducing the time spent reviewing evidence.
- Find Victims First: By tapping into the S21 Global Alliance Database (GAD), investigators can immediately identify potential victims from both known and unknown content.
- Faster Investigations: This real-time connection to global intelligence allows you to focus on the most critical files without wasting time on irrelevant material.

Why It Matters:
The integration with the S21 Global Alliance Database (GAD) enhances the power of S21 LASERi-X, enabling investigators to leverage intelligence from millions of records to identify victims quickly and efficiently. This makes finding the “needle in the haystack” a reality, ensuring no victim is overlooked and helping bring perpetrators to justice faster than ever before.
