By Peter Weber, CEO, Penlink
At Penlink, our mission is clear: to support those who protect and serve.
For nearly forty years, we have worked alongside law enforcement, national security, and corporate safety professionals to help keep communities safe. This work is often urgent. It includes locating missing and exploited children, disrupting human-trafficking networks, combating drug distribution, and identifying credible threats before they escalate.
Penlink is an American company headquartered in Lincoln, Nebraska; we are proud of the trust that more than 800 agencies and organizations worldwide have placed in our technology to support their missions.
And to any of our customers who may be reading this—on behalf of our entire team, thank you for what you do to keep our communities safe. We are proud to be part of that mission.
The professionals whom society places its trust in face a serious challenge today: more than 90 percent of criminal investigations involve digital evidence.
Trafficking and organized crime networks operate at a massive scale and increasingly rely on digital communications and infrastructure, significantly expanding the volume and complexity of data that must be analyzed. This growing demand places considerable strain on investigative resources, underscoring the need for solutions that can streamline analysis and improve efficiency.
In many cases, time is the most critical factor. The first 48 hours in a missing-child case can determine the outcome. Credible threats to a person or location, such as a school or public event space, are often uncovered right before the incident occurs, narrowly averting disaster. More often than not, these success stories go untold.
Overwhelming volumes of information sit in disconnected datasets and across fragmented systems. That means that the difference between a positive or chilling outcome often comes down to whether an analyst can quickly connect, analyze, and lawfully act on the data.
That is the challenge we exist to solve. And in that spirit, we would like to provide some additional context and clarity around our work.
Penlink delivers two core solutions: PLX, a warrant-based digital evidence platform, and Tangles, an open-source intelligence platform. Each one can be purchased and utilized independently of the other. Every day our customers use our software platforms to build cases that stand up in courts of law and responsibly prevent situations that threaten the innocent in our communities.
These software solutions are purpose-built for analysts and investigators, and designed with a strong security posture. All access is protected by robust authentication, authorization, and network controls. We follow a well-established model of standards and certifications that are grounded in accountability and oversight.
Our customers at the local, state, and federal levels operate under legal frameworks tailored to their missions. As leaders across government and industry have consistently stated, strong privacy protections and lawful access to data must coexist. We agree that technology should be used responsibly, lawfully, and effectively, and we operate accordingly.
We comply with applicable U.S. privacy laws and data-broker regulations, including by being registered as a data broker in multiple states. We also provide mechanisms for transparency and the exercise of consumer rights. We do all of this because we agree that responsible data use is essential.
We are committed to operating responsibly under all applicable laws and regulations, as our customers are required to do. And we will continue to responsibly update our practices as data and privacy laws evolve.
In the meantime, we remain focused on supporting our customers, through lawful and responsible use, in keeping our communities safe and bringing justice to victims and their families in the courts. Because we know that this mission is not abstract.
Penlink is built for this mission.
