Nimbus – Security Journal Magazine

BlackRainbow was formed for this sole strategic intent of providing a modern and innovative solution for organisations within proactive and reactive investigations and operations. We have and are transforming the way intelligence, investigations and evidence are managed, solving inefficiencies and managing risks faced by Law Enforcement, Government and Intelligence sectors with The Investigation Platform, NIMBUS.

NIMBUS is the first integrated investigation case and quality management system available to the market, with numerous capabilities, and every bit of information is recorded in a co-ordinated way enabling investigators to see the bigger picture, optimise decision making with an effective and defensible audit trail, making it The Investigation Platform.

“Prior to having NIMBUS, all aspects of our investigations were recorded and managed across multiple solutions such as email, spreadsheets and on employees’ devices. Having NIMBUS allows up-to-date, accurate and auditable recording of casework which has been game changing.“

NIMBUS has been transformative and is streamlining the way the global market has operated previously where they are no longer dependent on spreadsheets, unsupported open source, or siloed systems for their investigation management requirements. NIMBUS provides complete control and visibility of the investigation lifecycle, supported with defensible evidence tracking, task management and reporting, all underpinned by compliance to latest quality standards and procedures.

As investigations become more complex and time sensitive, physical and digital information needs to efficiently make its way into the central source of the investigation/operations command. NIMBUS absorbs this information rapidly to understand and build a visual sequence of events. Gathering this data and converting it into relevant, useable information for presentation as potential evidence has historically not been simple. NIMBUS is designed, to streamline this process, reduce data duplication and optimise decision making whilst maintaining investigation integrity and disclosure rules.

“When looking at the other options during our procurement process NIMBUS was the only tool that fully met our needs and was capable of managing investigations, evidence, forensics, and ISO accreditation.”

For some time, the disciplines around intelligence and investigations have been separated. Dealing with siloed data naturally incurs time penalties in time sensitive situations and this has come through legacy working practice lagging technology. Today NIMBUS delivers this from the inception of any intelligence through to the conclusion of the case to be in one secure, permissioned environment. This allows reporting, sanitisation, dissemination and analytical work to be of benefit to any permissioned user utilising the technology via watchlist, notifications and alerting. Once again driving efficiency to provide the right information to the right person at the right time. NIMBUS now becomes the digital room assistant empowering Investigators to accelerate investigations.

NIMBUS has a further integral capability specifically for intelligence generation, management, analysis, and reporting. Building on the basic case or incident data available within Operational Analytics, giving real time access to potentially invaluable information, this rich source of pertinent data can enable important pattern matching across cases where no obvious links were previously known and risk profiling.

“We have a much improved overview on the current status of each ongoing investigation. The management of some several thousand data objects would not be possible without NIMBUS. Additionally, NIMBUS helps us standardise the required steps during an investigation to gain reproducible results and even automate certain tasks and therefore reduce our workload.”

Built a flexible software for on premise or cloud deployment, mobile device compatible and in addition once deployed, our customers are enabled to manage the user interface with any configure changes to allow them to adapt to changes in the way they work now and in the future. This brings huge advantages to our end users as they do not have to wait or incur additional costs.

Our mission is to reduce the investigation lifecycle through intelligence, efficiency and integrity.
