About ShieldView

Serve Those Who Protect Us.

ShieldView exists to support the investigators handling the most sensitive and complex cases — combining government-grade AI with built-in protection for the people doing the work.

Our Mission

Serve Those Who Protect Us.

Analyzing the most sensitive and complex cases and evidence — while shielding those who investigate them.

We combine government-grade AI for evidence triage and forensic review with built-in mental health protection for the investigators behind every case. ShieldView exists so law enforcement teams can move faster on the cases that matter most — without paying the human cost.

We believe:

  • Investigator wellness is a form of public safety.
  • Trauma prevention should be built into the tools.
  • Technology should serve the human, not replace them.

Our Core Values

Three principles that guide every decision we make.

SERVE

Built first to support the people who carry the weight of these investigations.

INNOVATE

Government-grade AI applied to the hardest, most sensitive evidence.

EXECUTE

Faster cases, stronger outcomes, measurable results — without cutting corners.

What We Do

Secure, AI-powered case management for law enforcement and digital safety teams

ShieldView is a secure, AI-powered case management platform for law enforcement, prosecutors, forensic analysts, and digital safety teams. Our features include:

AI media triage and scene summarization

Auto-blur of sensitive content with click-to-reveal controls — the payoff of building deliberately for ICAC and CSAM casework, not an afterthought bolted onto a general-purpose platform

Exposure tracking and wellness tools built directly into the interface

Secure logging, legal compliance, and chain-of-custody tracking

Air-gapped and compliant deployment options for sensitive cases

We're proudly building technology that helps agencies move faster while protecting their people.
