Modern intelligence environments require more than analytics — they require accountability.
The OWL Intelligence Platform delivers a unified governance framework purpose-built for law enforcement and regulated investigative environments. By combining Classification & Access Rights, Retention Policies, and 28 CFR Part 23 compliance controls, OWL ensures sensitive intelligence data is protected, managed, and reviewed in accordance with organizational policy and federal standards.
Unlike traditional systems that separate security, retention, and compliance into disconnected tools, OWL integrates them into a configurable, enforcement-driven architecture. By unifying security, lifecycle management, and federal compliance into a single configurable platform, OWL reduces legal exposure, strengthens operational discipline, and builds defensible governance into everyday workflows. This is not simply record management; It is structured intelligence governance by design.
Classification & Access Rights
OWL enables granular data classification and role-based access controls to ensure the right people have access to the right information — and nothing more.
- Hierarchical and role-based access models
- Mandatory classification assignment (optional)
- Enforcement at the record level
- Audit visibility into user actions
Classification Policies reduce unauthorized access risk and strengthen operational integrity across investigative teams.
For more information about Classification & Access Rights, see this article.
Retention Policies
Retention policies automate the lifecycle of records by defining how long information must be retained, reviewed, archived, or purged.
- Configurable retention rules by record type
- Mandatory retention enforcement (optional)
- Automated lifecycle tracking
- Reduced manual oversight
Retention Policies support data minimization, reduce storage risk, and ensure alignment with organizational policy and legal obligations.

28 CFR Part 23 Compliance
For agencies operating under federal criminal intelligence regulations, OWL provides structured compliance workflows aligned with 28 CFR Part 23 requirements.
- Automated review cycles
- Compliance validation checkpoints
- Structured purge or retention workflows
- Compliance precedence settings when retention and regulation overlap
This framework ensures intelligence records are periodically validated, legally defensible, and compliant with federal standards.

How These Features Work Together
OWL’s strength lies in integration:
- Access controls govern who can view or modify intelligence.
- Retention policies govern how long data remains in the system.
- 28 CFR Part 23 workflows govern regulatory review and validation requirements.
Each feature can be enabled independently, allowing organizations to configure governance according to operational and legal needs. When multiple controls apply to the same record, administrators can define compliance precedence to ensure the correct rule governs lifecycle decisions.
This flexibility allows agencies to:
- Operate with internal governance only
- Implement lifecycle automation without regulatory enforcement
- Or deploy a fully integrated, regulation-aware intelligence management framework
