BAE Systems DataRetain data retention solution

A highly scalable, distributed and virtualised solution providing cloud read lawful disclosure compliance

BAE Systems DataRetain is a highly scalable, distributed and virtualised solution that fits directly into the CSPs’ IT estate. It has been developed during 30 years of working in partnership with some of the world’s most exacting CSPs, LEAs and governments in the ‘data retention’ space and is now increasingly being adopted by CSPs across the globe. In the past decade it has become a premier solution of choice for helping CSPs comply with national data retention legislation, providing a streamlined seamless interface between LEAs and CSP police liaison units and empowering authorised CSP users with the full breath of functionality required to run a trusted, secure, data disclosure service for compliance with LEA requests.

It provides the following features and benefits:

• User-friendly: A ‘self-service’ direct LEA user portal, providing capability for LEAs to input their requests directly into the system and receive rapid, authorised replies. This facilitates minimal disruption to CSP business operations and allows a higher volume of requests to be processed by a lower number of staff
• Scalable: Deployment options range from a small scale urban broadband provider up to national scale quad play CSPs, with full or partial automation, as required
• Secure Data Storage: Fast, compact and scalable encrypted data storage and retrieval, capable of storing billions of data records securely. Records are available for retrieval within seconds of being stored and can be retrieved within milliseconds
• NAT Resolution: there is a growing requirement for LEAs to understand which user was mapped to each IP address at any moment in time. DataRetain offers pre-built modules that support user queries on IP address resolution, providing capability to acquire, process and retrieve information relating to public and private IP addresses and match with relevant customer identifiers, effectively mapping the IP address used to each communications session
• Audit Trail: A comprehensive audit trail of user transactions, helping assure that retained data is of evidential quality
• Extensive Metadata Assimilation: Manages the collection and storage of an extensive range of communications metadata, including call data records/billing events, IP allocations, web logs, subscriber account information
• Data Life-cycle management: Enables data records and results to be set for automatic deletion at the end of mandated data retention periods
• High Availability: Full back-up and disaster recovery can be achieved by replicating all data to a secondary system
• Multilingual Support: Supports English, German, French, Spanish and Italian
