Independent counsel for lawful-intelligence programs

See what is possible. Build what the mission truly needs.

Independent technical counsel helping agencies move from mission intent to validated operational capability—with clarity, technical depth and velocity.

Resolve architecture, integration, sizing and customization decisions early—then move forward with greater confidence.

For agencies

Move from mission intent to operational capability—faster.

Agencies often begin with a mission need, not a complete technical specification. We work alongside internal teams and selected technology partners to resolve the key questions early.

01

Possibility

Understand the capabilities, trade-offs and new ways available data can serve the mission.

02

Architecture

Translate mission needs into end-to-end architecture, interfaces, sizing and integration.

03

Validation

Examine assumptions, maturity, scale, customization and commercial reasonableness.

04

Velocity

Surface critical decisions early and shorten the path to dependable operational use.

Core capabilities

What agencies can achieve.

Investigative capabilities built for difficult, consequential missions.

Identity intelligence01

Online identity → telecom identity

Resolve a social-media identity to a mobile subscriber.

Connect authorized X and other social-platform identities with mobile numbers and telecom subscriber context through cross-domain signal correlation.
X & social identitiesMobile resolutionTelecom context
Presence intelligence02

Mobile subscriber → fixed-network presence

Map a mobile subscriber to the fixed networks they visit.

Identify recurring presence across DSL, home Wi-Fi, office Wi-Fi and other fixed networks, then correlate co-presence to reveal associations and relationship patterns.
Fixed networksCo-presenceRelationship discovery
Communication intelligence03

Encrypted VoIP → call-detail records

Reconstruct CDRs for encrypted communications.

Derive usable call-detail records, timelines and communication patterns for encrypted VoIP services such as WhatsApp, FaceTime and Signal from authorized network observations.

Subscriber intelligence04

Network activity → subscriber understanding

Build a richer profile of subscriber behaviour.

Connect applications, websites, device and machine types, browsers, recurring activity and location context into an investigator-ready subscriber view.
Application usageDevice intelligencePattern of life
Monitoring systems05

Carrier networks → lawful intelligence

Design targeted and country-scale monitoring environments.

Shape lawful interception and monitoring architectures across mobile and IP networks, from collection and mediation to retention, analytics and investigator workflows.

Open-source intelligence06

Open sources + operator data

Connect OSINT with mobile-operator intelligence.

Bring public-source identities, activity and relationships together with authorized subscriber and communications data to build a fuller target picture.

Network intelligence07

High-volume traffic → actionable metadata

Derive intelligence from carrier and subsea traffic at scale.

Engineer high-throughput acquisition, decoding, application identification, metadata extraction and analytical retention for national and submarine-cable environments.

Between possibility and proof

Rare intelligence outcomes are only possible when the engineering beneath them is equally rare.

Core components

What makes those capabilities real.

The network, processing and analytical foundations beneath the capability.

Traffic intelligence01

Packets → rich intelligence events

Super-rich DPI and metadata extraction.

Go beyond basic protocol recognition to identify applications, decode events and produce the detailed metadata required by identity, communication and subscriber analytics.

Network processing02

Observe without affecting the network

A carrier-grade passive network stack.

Reconstruct flows and sessions across complex network conditions while remaining passive, resilient and independent of endpoint cooperation.

Data movement03

High volume → continuous evidence

High-speed capture with zero-loss transfer.

Acquire, filter, buffer and move sustained high-volume traffic without creating blind spots in downstream decoding and analytics.
Packet captureTraffic filteringZero-loss transfer
Analytical correlation04

Fragmented observations → connected evidence

High-performance event and entity correlation.

Link packets, sessions, identities, locations and events across time and sources to surface co-presence, behaviour and hidden relationships.
Event correlationEntity resolutionRelationship analytics
Data platform05

Petabyte retention → investigative speed

Large-scale retention, search and investigation graphs.

Retain communications metadata in analytics-first models, then search and explore timelines and relationships at operational speed.

Selective engagements

Clarity where decisions become consequential.

We work constructively with agency teams and selected technology partners. Engagements are confidential, selective and conflict-screened.

For agencies

Independent counsel at critical decision points.

  • Capability discovery and roadmaps
  • Architecture and requirements
  • Technology and vendor evaluation
  • Proof, acceptance and delivery assurance
For specialist vendors

Domain depth for field-ready products.

  • Product strategy and workflows
  • System and data architecture
  • Scale and performance
  • Customization and field readiness

Common questions

Lawful-intelligence advisory, clearly defined.

What to expect when considering independent counsel for a complex intelligence program.

Who does MetaSaar advise?

MetaSaar works with lawful-intelligence agencies and selected specialist technology vendors on complex, consequential intelligence-system decisions.

What does the advisory work cover?

Engagements can cover capability discovery, requirements, end-to-end architecture, integration, sizing, technology and vendor evaluation, proof, acceptance and delivery assurance.

Does MetaSaar replace internal or vendor teams?

No. MetaSaar provides independent technical counsel alongside agency teams and selected technology partners, helping resolve difficult decisions early and strengthen delivery confidence.

How does an engagement begin?

An initial confidential conversation establishes the mission context, technical challenge and potential value. Engagements are selective, discreet and conflict-screened.

Confidential introduction

Begin with the mission, in confidence.

An initial confidential conversation establishes the mission context, technical challenge and where MetaSaar can create value.
