For governments and public institutions

Public bodies and the people who work in them are increasingly the targets of online harm. Official accounts are impersonated, sometimes to spread false statements under an institution's name. Public servants, elected and unelected, face threats, sustained abuse and coordinated harassment intended to intimidate. Departments and agencies find themselves needing to document what was said, by whom and when, often at speed and often across several platforms at once.

The difficulty is rarely a lack of awareness that something is happening. It is that the record of what happened is scattered, degrading and hard to hand to anyone in a usable form. Posts are deleted, accounts are renamed, and screenshots gathered under pressure lack the source links, timestamps and custody trail that a serious record needs. That is the specific problem Finium is built to solve for institutions.

Finium provides the evidence layer, nothing more and nothing less. It captures the relevant material before it disappears, preserves it with source references and timestamps, structures it into a source-linked chronology, keeps a custody record of how each item was handled, and exports a structured file. The institution's legal function or instructed counsel then decides what to do with that record.

Finium does not act as a legal representative for an institution, does not provide legal advice, and does not reach legal conclusions about the material. It does not file police reports, does not contact prosecutors, and does not act as a law-enforcement liaison. It does not remove content or guarantee any platform outcome. Where the system surfaces a classification, it is expressed as material that may potentially violate a given category in a given jurisdiction, subject to legal review. That framing is a signpost for the institution's lawyers, never a determination.

Monitoring, where an institution uses it, is operator-run at a defined cadence: the accounts and content that matter are reviewed on an agreed schedule, and anything that needs attention is preserved and structured for counsel. The threat escalation and evidence triage workflow describes how a surfaced item moves from capture to a handoff-ready file.

The workflow keeps the institution in control at every step.

Capture. When an incident surfaces, whether raised by the institution's own staff or through operator-run monitoring at the agreed cadence, the relevant posts, accounts and media are captured with their source references and timestamps, and a content hash is generated for each item so its integrity can be checked later.

Preserve. The captured material is held as a structured record rather than a set of loose images, so it does not degrade as accounts are renamed or posts are deleted.

Structure. The material is arranged into a source-linked chronology that groups repeat actors and related posts, so a coordinated campaign against an official account or a public servant is visible as one connected record rather than isolated events.

Hand off. The structured file is provided to the institution's own legal function or instructed counsel, with an offline verifier that lets a third party check the integrity of the file without trusting Finium's servers. Every file states which stage of the evidence ladder it meets, up to lawyer-ready.

Finium is designed to sit comfortably inside a public-sector procurement review, and it states its posture factually rather than aspirationally.

Data protection and residency. Finium is an EU-established company operating under GDPR. Its data-protection programme covers records of processing, a retention approach and a data-subject-request process, and access to sensitive evidence workspaces is restricted to the people needed for capture, review and export. Hosting and data-residency detail is shared on request as part of a procurement conversation.

Security posture, stated honestly. Finium runs an active compliance programme aligned to recognised information-security and privacy frameworks. It does not claim any certification until the relevant audit is complete, and the security page lists only what is finished. This is a deliberate discipline: security claims stay factual, and formal certifications and audits are named only when completed.

Verifiable integrity. The trust primitive an institution can inspect directly is the evidence file itself. Each captured item is hashed, the hashes are collected into a manifest, and an offline verifier can confirm the integrity of the file independently. That is a property a reviewer can test, not a claim they have to take on faith.

For institutions whose needs overlap with enterprise legal and security workflows, the for enterprise page describes the same evidence engine applied to organisational incident records.

Finium is built to support the legal and governance processes an institution already has, not to replace them or to route matters somewhere new. A structured evidence file makes an institution's own legal function faster and better prepared, whatever step it chooses to take. The decision on what to do with the record, and the responsibility for any action, stays with the institution and its qualified counsel.
