Fraud, Risk
and Compliance Solutions
Cellebrite Federal Solutions Inc. (CFSI) supports federal fraud, risk and compliance programs with advanced forensic and virtualization tools to help uncover internal misconduct, respond to external cyber threats and meet strict data retention requirements.
Challenges and Solutions
Fragmented Data Obscures Fraud and Corruption
Challenge
Government agencies have a duty to protect the public interest. However, evidence of internal fraud and corruption is often buried across diverse systems and encrypted devices, and there is no practical way to detect coordinated criminal activity through manual review alone. As a result, systemic misconduct can persist despite the best efforts of fraud investigators. To effectively combat fraud, agencies need tools that lawfully collect and correlate communications and data across their internal IT ecosystem.
Solution
CFSI enables internal fraud teams and Offices of Inspector General (OIGs) to rapidly extract and analyze digital data to uncover suspicious activity and communications. This spans the full IT landscape, from government‑issued mobile devices to computers and cloud workspaces. By correlating data across multiple sources and individuals, investigators can reveal hidden links and coordinated criminal behavior. The result is actionable, verifiable intelligence that supports administrative actions and criminal prosecutions.
External Cyber Threats Are Increasing in Speed and Impact
Challenge
Federal agencies are primary targets for sophisticated cyberattacks. As the cyber threat environment becomes increasingly hostile and fast‑moving, traditional security processes are often too slow to keep pace. Agencies must be able to rapidly identify vulnerabilities and respond quickly when incidents occur.
Solution
CFSI provides capabilities that help agencies proactively reduce attack surfaces and support rapid response to cyber incidents. This includes high‑speed data extraction and analytics to diagnose and contain active attacks, as well as scalable mobile app security testing to harden applications before deployment. CFSI also enables deep vulnerability research, helping teams to quickly identify and address hidden software flaws before they are exploited.
Data Retention Gaps Create Compliance Risk
Challenge
Federal agencies are legally required to preserve and retain electronic records. However, device management tools often fail to capture SMS, MMS or encrypted messaging data, creating significant compliance gaps. These gaps can expose agencies to audit failures, judicial sanctions and an inability to fully respond to FOIA requests or congressional inquiries.
Solution
CFSI enables scalable, repeatable extraction and preservation of time stamped data from mobile devices and computers, creating a complete and verifiable archive. This includes messages and attachments from encrypted applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram and Signal. Forensic‑grade chain of custody mechanisms protect data integrity, helping agencies satisfy legal discovery obligations and federal oversight requirements.
