Dawn Raid Management Tool

Our Dawn Raid Management tool simplifies the stressful process of managing a surprise investigation and ensures secure communication in case of a dawn raid. 

Created in collaboration with safeREACH, a company that makes user-friendly and reliable alarm systems to cope safely with crises and incidents, the tool provides a "red-button alarm system" that is easily activated in the event of a surprise investigation by competition or regulatory authorities.  

• As soon as investigators arrive, instead of searching for phone numbers of dawn raid coordinators, receptionists simply activate an alert through a user-friendly button directly on their computer screen.
• Immediately all stakeholders, including external counsel, are informed through an alarm on their phone that a dawn raid is taking place, at which address and by which authority.
• The dawn raid coordinator automatically receives clear instructions on what to do through the app.
• Stakeholders can communicate and exchange documents through a secure internal chatroom.
• Access to checklists and customized documents directly through the app.
