    ISEEK

    ISEEK

    XtremeForensics

    Running entirely in memory, ISEEK is the embodiment of a patented process. It is an automated tool that can be deployed to run concurrently across any number of computer systems where it operates invisibly in accordance with an encrypted set of instructions. The results of ISEEK's processing are encrypted and sent to a location specified in the set of instructions which can be a local drive, a network share or cloud storage.​ Stand-alone utilities enable the creation of the encrypted set of instructions and the ability to review and process the contents of encrypted results containers. Once ISEEK has been used to pinpoint the required data and reduce the volume for further review it enables multiple encrypted results containers to have their contents extracted in a number of different formats (with optional XML metadata) for ingesting by a review tool. These formats include generic load files and a Relativity-specific load file.
