Capabilities
Built around the claim file, not the brochure.
Secure file handling
Your claim file is treated like the evidence it is.
Most agencies say “confidential.” We publish how: encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access, audit logging on every touch, documented retention and destruction, and Canadian data residency. The same portal our investigators use enforces it.

Method
The Briar Standard
Every file moves through the same six gates. For a new firm, visible process is the track record: we wrote it down, built our systems around it, and show it to vendor management on request.
- 01
Conflict check
No file is opened until the conflict register clears.
- 02
Lawful-basis plan
Documented collection grounds and proportionality before hour one.
- 03
Contemporaneous notes
Field notes written as events happen, synced to timecode.
- 04
Custody-tracked evidence
Originals hashed and vaulted the day they're captured.
- 05
Court-ready report
Objective, third-person, indexed to the media.
- 06
Secure delivery
Encrypted handoff with signed receipt — never open email.
