AI-Powered Investigations

Reconstruct what happened, faster

An AI-powered investigation platform can automatically gather and correlate evidence across communications and business systems, then explain the sequence of events in plain language. This reduces manual search, speeds case reconstruction, and produces consistent, defensible findings for regulated and highly litigious environments where legal review, audit readiness, and repeatable results are critical.

Collect source-agnostic evidence

Correlate communications, trades, HR data, logs, and other signals across sources without rebuilding the case by hand. 

Generate defensible case narratives

Automatically create narrative summaries, timelines, network views, and evidence-backed findings.

Investigate with less specialist support

Empower compliance and legal teams to conduct complex investigations with structured AI guidance.

Manual Effort Challenges

Manual investigations break down fast

Evidence for an investigation can span email, chat, collaboration platforms, archives, trade data, HR records, and other business systems. Often, teams have to search these sources one by one and piece the evidence together by hand. This slows investigations, requires specialized skills, and makes the results harder to repeat and defend. 

Agentic Investigation Platform

Resolve compliance investigations with a defensible record

Proofpoint Prism Investigator is a fully autonomous, agentic investigations platform that gathers and correlates evidence across sources to reconstruct events and produce defensible findings. With clear findings tied directly back to evidence, it helps teams manage complex investigations, lookbacks, trade reconstruction, and regulator requests.

Natural-Language Case Start 

Begin with an objective instead of search syntax. 

 

Source-Agnostic Collection 

Correlate communications, trades, HR data, logs, and other signals across sources. 

Timeline Reconstruction

Turn dispersed evidence into a clear sequence of events.

Audit Trail and Guardrails

Preserve prompts, reasoning, guardrails, and approvals in a defensible audit trail.

Participant and AI-Activity Mapping

Identify key participants and relationships across human and AI-driven activity.

Evidence-Based Case Narratives

Give legal teams a clearer case story

For corporate legal and eDiscovery counsel, Prism Investigator turns search results into a clear case narrative tied to evidence. Explainable AI connects communications with related business records, adding context across the investigation and helping teams build a clearer record for legal and regulatory review. 

Evidence-Linked Summaries 

Produce written case summaries that point back to supporting data. 

 

Cross-System Correlation

Connect signals from communications and business systems in a single view. 

Relationship Mapping 

Identify key participants and relationships across the investigation. 

Defensible Output 

Preserve the reasoning and audit history behind regulator- and litigation-ready findings.

Event Reconstruction

Surface market abuse across chat and trade data 

For trade surveillance and market-abuse teams, Prism Investigator correlates chat, voice, and email with trade and order data to reconstruct events around a suspicious execution. It supports insider-trading and MNPI reviews, lookbacks, and trade reconstruction, producing regulator-ready findings tied directly back to evidence. 

Chat-to-Trade Correlation

Link communications to the orders and executions they relate to. 

 

MNPI and Insider-Trading Signals 

Surface information-sharing patterns ahead of price-moving events. 

Trade Reconstruction Timelines 

Rebuild the sequence of events around a suspicious execution. 

Regulator-Ready Output 

Produce evidence-linked findings for regulator inquiries and lookbacks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Investigation management software helps teams collect, correlate, analyze, and document evidence during an investigation. It can bring together communications and business records, reconstruct timelines, and preserve the evidence behind findings so compliance and legal teams can investigate more efficiently and consistently. 

AI can reduce the manual work required to gather evidence, correlate activity, reconstruct timelines, and summarize findings. Proofpoint Prism Investigator starts from a natural-language objective and uses agentic AI to investigate across sources while preserving prompts, reasoning, guardrails, and approvals in a defensible audit trail.

A defensible compliance investigation provides a clear record of how findings were reached and the evidence that supports them, helping support regulatory compliance. Evidence-linked findings, timelines, preserved reasoning, guardrails, approvals, and audit history can help teams explain and support their findings during regulatory review or litigation.

Investigation software can correlate communications with related business records to reconstruct events across systems. Proofpoint Prism Investigator brings together evidence from sources such as email, chat, collaboration platforms, archives, trade data, HR data, logs, and other connected systems to create an evidence-linked view of an investigation.

Investigation software can correlate communications with trade and order data to reconstruct the sequence of activity around an event. Proofpoint Prism Investigator brings these signals together to support trade reconstruction, lookbacks, and regulator requests while producing findings tied directly back to supporting evidence.

A traditional case management system primarily helps teams organize cases, records, tasks, and workflows. Investigation management software focuses on the investigative work itself, including collecting and correlating evidence, reconstructing events, analyzing relationships, and producing evidence-backed findings. Proofpoint Prism Investigator uses autonomous, agentic AI to perform these tasks across communications and business systems.
