LIMA Data Retention - Enabling Compliance and Investigative Efficiency
Retrieving relevant data efficiently remains a challenge for both government agencies and service providers. Law enforcement needs access to specific data points—such as phone numbers, SIM card details, and IP addresses—while service providers must comply with strict retention laws and response times. How can both sides navigate these challenges effectively?
Addressing Law Enforcement Challenges
Law enforcement authorities rely on specific parameters such as MSISDN (phone number), IMEI (device serial number), IMSI (SIM card serial number), cell tower data, address, and IP information—gathered through investigations or other intelligence processes—to perform detailed analytics.
In most cases, obtaining access to this data requires judicial or prosecutorial authorization. Additionally, all actions must be properly documented and audited to ensure compliance with legal frameworks. Our solution facilitates this process by providing a structured and secure platform for data retrieval and management.
Benefits for Governmental Agencies
For governmental agencies, the primary objective of deploying a data retention solution is to equip analysts and investigators with a fast and accurate method for extracting valuable information from networks. A key advantage of implementing a nationwide Data Retention system across multiple service providers is the uniform querying and retrieval process, ensuring consistency in results.
Before storage, all data is normalized, eliminating concerns about variations in number formats (national/international) and other technical inconsistencies. However, retrieved data remains in its original format as reported by the service provider. Since data is stored at the service provider’s premises and interconnections are used solely for query execution, bandwidth requirements are minimized. The secure nature of both the data and interconnections makes this an efficient and robust solution.
Benefits for Service Providers
For service providers, the primary goal of implementing a LIMA Data Retention solution is regulatory compliance, which is mandated in many countries. Our system minimizes the operational burden on service providers while ensuring adherence to stringent SLA response times. Designed for optimal query responsiveness, our solution enables service providers to achieve industry-leading response times for data requests.
Additionally, we offer country-specific interface development to comply with local legal requirements, further simplifying compliance efforts. By providing a tailored, high-performance solution, we help our customers meet their obligations with minimal effort.
