Managed Aleph
Aleph is an Open Source software that can store huge datasets and make them searchable in a collaborative but secure way. It is mostly known for the public instance offered by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), but any organization and research team can have it's own, exclusive and independent instance of it.
We operate and manage it all for you.
You just need to search in your data.
- Upload all your data and leaks securely.
- Search across all your datasets easily and thoroughly.
- Find your story and uncover leads faster.
Beginners
You are still fairly new to Aleph?
Experienced
You used Aleph a couple of times?
We own our physical servers and partner with FlokiNET to have servers outside of the EU for all your independent security needs down to the legal jurisdiction.
We don't bill our managed services by minute of usage, number of users or exact amount of storage as the usual cloud providers do. Instead, we bill monthly lump sums for “all in one” packages making Aleph accessible for organizations without the worry of unexpected storage costs over night.
The decision about whether or not to start a new investigation should not be influenced by a cloud provider's bill.
On top of that, we also offer the following:
- Building and maintaining data projects from data scraping to analysis and design
- Develop tools for data engineering
- Find and implement technical solutions to all kinds of unique problems that may arise within a data-driven investigation
- Consulting and training for data research, engineering and security in the context of investigative journalism
- Assisting with data research and cross-matching to find new leads
- Analyzing (huge) leaks
