We’re passionate about wellbeing
“No one understands and respects more the amazing work that law enforcement do across the world to tackle CSAM more than the team and I at S21.
That’s why in 2015 we became the first digital forensics provider to integrate investigator wellbeing support directly into our applications – inspiring other major vendors to follow our lead.
Many of our team at S21 are former law enforcement professionals who know first-hand the distress caused by investigating CSAM. They help ensure our products support the wellbeing of investigators and online moderators, without hindering their critical work.
Doing nothing, or failing to act to protect investigator wellbeing, harms the heroes who protect all of us. Even if it’s not with us — please, do something.”
Dr. Liam Owens, CEO and Founder of Semantics 21
