Vantage
From the first lead
to a reviewed report.
Vantage is where your team works each case. Start with a report, referral or identifier. Vantage collects across your sources, links what it finds and keeps the evidence with every finding, across cases in parallel. Your analysts direct the work and approve what leaves.
Follow the investigation across every source.
A username leads to an account. That account raises questions about other identities, activity and relationships. Each answer creates more work to collect, compare and document. When the work is spread across separate tools, the analyst becomes the connection between all of them.
Vantage brings those stages together. It carries the original lead into a case, expands the information around it and keeps the emerging picture connected to its sources. Your team can pursue the question rather than repeatedly assemble the material needed to answer it.
A report or referral
Bring the original material into a queue, add relevant context and determine which leads need investigation.
A sparse identifier
Start with a username, email or IP address and develop the accounts, activity and relationships around it.
An active investigation
Bring existing findings and connected sources into the workflow, then follow the questions that remain open.
Develop the lead.
Progress the caseload.
Vantage connects the stages that usually require an analyst to move between tools. Work can develop within a case and progress across the wider caseload.
Triage the work that matters.
Bring reports, referrals and identifiers into one queue. Vantage enriches incoming material and prioritises it against the criteria your organisation sets. The queue can reflect your team's remit and investigative priorities, with a recorded rationale for why an item needs attention.
Items that meet your criteria can open an investigation automatically. The starting material and supporting context travel with the case, so the investigator taking it forward can see where it came from and what has already been established.
Develop a lead beyond the first identifier.
Begin with the information you have: a username, an email address, an IP address or a referral. Vantage carries out collection and follows relevant leads across open sources, third-party services, connected internal systems and Azonic's intelligence holdings.
Accounts, activity and relationships become part of a connected investigative picture. Analysts can inspect the basis for a connection, challenge an interpretation and decide which branch deserves further attention. The work stays with the case as its scope develops.
Progress investigations in parallel.
A team should not have to stop every other case while one investigation needs collection or follow-up. Vantage runs investigative tasks across active cases, reducing the dependency on an analyst manually performing each step in sequence.
Set the limits for the work and direct where it goes next. Investigators can concentrate on the leads and decisions that need their attention while collection and correlation continue elsewhere. Each case retains its own material and record of the work performed.
Bring your intelligence together.
Vantage works across public sources, third-party services, your internal systems and Azonic's proprietary intelligence within one investigation. Analysts follow leads across them, review the connections and keep the evidence with each finding.
Build a clearer picture of the subject and see where the investigation needs to go next. Your team can spend less time moving findings between systems and more time deciding what they mean.
Open and third-party sources
Bring information from connected services into the investigation, with its source available for examination.
Your organisation’s systems
Use the internal tools and records your team relies on within the same investigative workflow.
Azonic’s proprietary intelligence
Add relevant intelligence holdings to the case with their origin and context intact.
Evidence that stays with the finding.
Sources and collected material stay attached to the findings they support. Investigators can inspect how information was obtained, assess corroborating material and distinguish supported conclusions from leads that need more work. Independent corroboration is required before a finding is treated as verified.
Provenance and custody are recorded as work takes place. A colleague or supervisor can follow the supporting record without asking the analyst to rebuild it from notes and screenshots. The same record supports later scrutiny of how a conclusion was reached.
Make established workflows repeatable.
Investigative workflows and templates help teams codify their methodology. A consistent process gives colleagues a shared starting point for similar work, from the information needed at intake to the evidence required before a finding can move forward.
Consistency also helps when responsibility for a case changes. The next person can see the material, the work already completed and the questions still open, instead of starting again with a collection of disconnected files.
Prepare the findings for the next decision.
Turn case material into a formal document with citations to its supporting sources. Reports are versioned and reviewed, and an approved edition is fixed before release. The investigation retains the evidence and decisions behind what was shared.
Deliver that edition to a named recipient with the access controls your organisation sets, including expiry and revocation. The recipient receives a defined record of the findings; access to the working case is handled separately.
Vantage supports investigations that begin with work your team already receives: a referral, an identifier or an existing case. It can be used as the investigation platform without Lighthouse.
Add Lighthouse when your team also needs ongoing awareness of relevant threats, actors and activity. An alert can become a starting point for a Vantage investigation with its context intact. What the investigation learns can help refine the priorities being monitored.
Fit the way your organisation works.
Deploy Vantage within your own infrastructure or your cloud environment. Your organisation defines the authority, access and oversight that apply to the work. Existing tools and internal systems can connect to the platform around those requirements.
A briefing starts with your investigative workflow: the material coming in, the sources your team needs, how work is assigned and what a useful outcome looks like. From there, we can discuss the scope and integration requirements for your organisation.
Putting Vantage
to work.
Does Vantage replace our case management system?
No. Vantage works alongside the systems you already use and connects with them two ways: it takes in referrals, alerts and records, and sends cases, reports and actions back. Which systems we connect is agreed with each customer and set out in our agreement with them.
What can an investigation start from?
A report, a referral, an identifier such as a username, email address or IP address, or an existing case. Vantage brings the starting material in with its context and develops the leads around it.
What does the analyst control?
Every call. Your analysts set the limits for the work, choose which leads to follow, accept or reject proposed connections and approve what is released. Nothing leaves unreviewed.
How do we check where a finding came from?
Every finding keeps its sources, how they were obtained, when, and who added them. Independent corroboration is required before a finding is treated as verified, and each report cites back to that record.
Where does Vantage run, and who can see our data?
Vantage runs self-hosted in your infrastructure or in your own cloud environment. Access follows the roles your organisation sets. Hosting, region, retention, connected sources and any access by Azonic are agreed with each customer and set out in our agreement with them.
