Built for OSINT Investigators

Social Media Evidence
That Holds Up in Court

State AGs, DAs, local law enforcement, and city attorneys use Page Vault to capture and authenticate social media evidence for OSINT investigations — with cryptographic chain-of-custody built for court.

The Problem

Social Media Evidence Has a Short Window

OSINT investigators know that posts, profiles, and listings disappear fast — and that what you capture has to be bulletproof. Most tools fail on both counts.

Targets delete evidence before you can capture it
Facebook posts, Instagram profiles, TikTok videos, and marketplace listings vanish in hours. By the time a manual tool loads, the evidence is gone and the investigation stalls.
Screenshots get thrown out
Manual captures lack timestamps, SHA-256 hashes, and chain-of-custody documentation. Opposing counsel challenges them — and wins. Your case unravels on evidentiary grounds, not the facts.
🚫
Flat-file subpoena returns don't hold up in court
When evidence arrives via subpoena in a raw data dump, it's nearly impossible to present to a jury clearly. Pre-subpoena capture — in jury-presentable format — is what wins cases.
⚙️
Legacy tools keep breaking on social platforms
API blocks, account suspensions, failed Instagram and Facebook captures. Investigators relying on older tools have been left without evidence mid-investigation at the worst possible moment.

Page Vault gives OSINT investigators evidence that stands up — before the subpoena, and after.

Every social media capture includes a SHA-256 cryptographic hash, precise timestamp, and full metadata — affidavits available for every capture. The same chain-of-custody documentation that state AGs and DA offices across the country rely on to win cases.

Use Cases

Built for How OSINT Investigators
Actually Work

From consumer fraud to criminal prosecution, Page Vault covers the cases where authenticated social media evidence is the difference between a win and a dismissal.

Consumer Fraud & False Advertising Investigations

State AG consumer protection units pursue businesses misrepresenting products, services, and prices on social media and online marketplaces. Page Vault captures Facebook ads, Instagram posts, business websites, and listings at the moment of investigation — with metadata that holds up against any challenge.

Texas AG, NY AG, Missouri AG, Florida AG, and California DOJ all use Page Vault for exactly this workflow.

Criminal Case Social Media Evidence

DA offices and public defenders need social media evidence that survives suppression challenges. Gang activity, domestic violence, drug trafficking, and fraud cases all turn on digital content that investigators must capture — in a court-ready format — before it's deleted or altered.

Nassau DA, NYC Law Department, and the Habeas Corpus Resource Center rely on Page Vault for criminal and post-conviction appeals work.

City Attorney & Code Enforcement

City and county legal offices handle short-term rental enforcement, code violations posted online, internal HR investigations, and ethics complaints. Evidence lives on Airbnb, Craigslist, and social platforms — and must be captured and authenticated before it disappears.

City of Los Angeles and NYC Law Department use Page Vault for short-term rental crackdowns, ethics matters, and employee misconduct investigations.

Licensing & Regulatory Enforcement

State boards and commissions — gaming, medical licensing, cosmetology, securities — investigate professionals who behave badly online. The evidence lives on Instagram, Yelp, and business websites. Page Vault makes each capture defensible for administrative hearings and licensing proceedings.

Arizona Gaming Commission, MN Board of Cosmetology, and Kansas Board of Healing Arts all run their investigative capture workflow through Page Vault.

How It Works

Capture. Authenticate. File.

Page Vault turns a manual, legally fragile workflow into a reliable, court-ready process in four steps — without the IT overhead of on-prem tools.

1

Enter the URL or profile

Paste any URL — social profile, post, marketplace listing, or video. Page Vault handles dynamic content, infinite scroll, and authenticated sessions that manual tools can't reach.

2

Capture with full fidelity

Page Vault renders the full page — not a screenshot — preserving all metadata, embedded content, and source code at the exact moment of capture.

3

Authenticate automatically

A SHA-256 cryptographic hash, precise UTC timestamp, and investigator identity are immediately attached. Affidavits available on request for court filing.

4

Organize, share, and export

Captures are stored in your secure library, organized by case folder. Export in jury-presentable format — ready for filing, discovery, or hand-off to prosecutors.

Capabilities

Everything OSINT Investigators Need

🔐

Cryptographic Authentication

SHA-256 hash generated at the moment of capture. Chain-of-custody is automatic — not something you have to document manually after the fact.

📱

Social Media Capture

Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, LinkedIn — including authenticated sessions, infinite scroll, and content that would be gone by the time a subpoena comes back.

📄

Affidavits Available

Signed, court-ready affidavits documenting the capture process. Everything opposing counsel needs to see — and nothing they can challenge on procedural grounds.

🕷️

Site Crawler

Capture hundreds of pages from a domain in a single operation. Ideal for large organizational profiles, fraud scheme websites, and multi-page OSINT investigations.

☁️

Secure Cloud Storage

Unlimited storage organized by case folder. No on-prem infrastructure required. Accessible to investigators working across offices, shifts, or jurisdictions.

📁

Jury-Ready Export

Export in PDF or native Page Vault format — structured and readable, not a raw data dump. Prosecutors and juries see exactly what the investigator saw at the time of capture.

Procurement

Designed to Get Through Approval

State and local government procurement can be slow. Page Vault is built to work within it — with options sized for the budget windows that actually open.

Simple Per-User Pricing

Per-user licensing with a flat, predictable structure — no page-count games. Easy to put in a budget request and easy for a supervisor to approve when funding comes through.

User-based · Annual · Simple order form available

State Purchasing Cooperatives

Many state AG, regulatory, and local government customers procure through state purchasing cooperatives — we're familiar with the process and can help navigate it.

Works with most state cooperative vehicles

Grant-Funded Purchases

ICAC task forces and DA offices often use BJA or state grants to fund digital evidence tools. Ask your rep about structuring a purchase to fit your funding source and timeline.
