Regulatory and white-collar investigations.
Internal, regulatory, and criminal investigations where teams must establish knowledge, intent, and timing across individuals, entities, and years of communications.
Investigations begin with a question and a mountain of data. Who knew about the conduct, when did they know, what did they do about it and what did they tell the regulator? The answers are distributed across emails, chat messages, trading and transaction records, board papers and compliance files, and the consequences of missing one are severe.
Crimson builds the investigation's Case Model: the individuals, entities, events, communications, and documents, mapped to the allegations and regulatory provisions in play. Investigators can reconstruct what happened with confidence, prepare interviews, and produce reports and regulatory submissions with every finding traced to its source.
Typical case file
- Email and chat communications
- Trading, transaction, and payment records
- Compliance files, policies, and training records
- Board and committee minutes
- Regulator correspondence and notices
- Interview notes and transcripts
- Whistleblower reports
- Prior audit and monitoring reports
The pressures
facing your team.
Knowledge and intent across many individuals
Establishing state of mind requires tracing information flows between dozens of people over long periods, across formal and informal channels.
Regulator deadlines and cooperation credit
Section 166 reviews, DOJ and SEC requests, SFO notices and self-reporting decisions all run to timetables that leave little room for a slow, linear review.
Privilege and confidentiality
Investigation work product is among the most sensitive material a firm holds. Any platform must protect privilege and isolate the data absolutely.
Shifting scope
Investigations expand as new facts emerge. Teams must integrate new custodians and data sources without losing the thread of what has already been established.
A Case Model built for
regulatory and white-collar investigations.
At upload, Crimson maps the parties, events, disputed facts, claims, defenses and evidence in your matter into a structured Case Model with full provenance. Every workflow below runs on that model.
Reconstruct who knew what, when
The Case Model tracks information flows between individuals and entities, so you can establish knowledge and escalation from the record rather than infer them.
Build the factual narrative fast
Generate an event-level chronology across communications, transaction records, and compliance files, with each event cited to its source.
Prepare interviews with the full record
Surface every document a witness authored, received, or is referenced in, and every inconsistency between their account and the contemporaneous record.
Integrate new data without starting over
As you add custodians and sources, the Case Model evolves while preserving provenance for every established fact.
Report and submit with precision
Draft investigation reports, regulator submissions, and board updates with findings referenced to the underlying documents.
Questions Crimson answers,
cited to the page.
Illustrative questions from regulatory and white-collar investigations matters. Crimson traces each answer to the supporting document, page, and passage.

- Which communications between the trading desk and management discuss the pricing methodology?

Common questions from regulatory & white-collar teams.
Crimson operates within an isolated environment for each firm, with role-based access and full audit logging. Crimson never uses client data to train models, AI providers operate under zero data retention, and there is no human review. Firms typically deploy Crimson under the same protocols that govern their privileged investigation workspaces.
