Certified, Audited And Standards-Compliant Lawful Interception
ICS solutions are built on ETSI and 3GPP specifications and have been successfully audited by regulatory authorities. We help you implement lawful interception systems that pass regulatory inspections and deliver evidence-grade data.
Our Commitment To Standards And Regulatory Compliance
Every ICS solution is designed to meet stringent technical and regulatory requirements, ensuring your lawful interception infrastructure is audit-ready from day one.
ETSI & 3GPP Standards Compliance
Our software platforms and appliances implement current ETSI specifications including TS 102 232 (IP-based LI handover), TS 103 707 (OTT services), TS 102 657 (retained data) and 3GPP TS 33.106/33.107/33.108 (mobile LI architecture). We track standards evolution and provide regular updates to maintain alignment with latest versions and national parameter definitions.
Regulatory Authority Audits
ICS solutions have been deployed and successfully audited by telecommunications regulatory authorities including Bundesnetzagentur (Germany), These audits verify technical compliance, interface correctness, data format accuracy and operational procedures, providing independent validation of our implementations.
Certification & Documentation Support
We provide comprehensive documentation for regulatory submissions including technical specifications, interface descriptions, test reports and operational procedures. Our team supports you through the entire certification process from initial application through technical demonstrations, authority testing and final approval, ensuring your LI system meets all national requirements.
What Gets Audited
Regulatory audits assess multiple aspects of lawful interception capability:
Technical Interfaces
Verification that X1/X2/X3 network interfaces and HI1/HI2/HI3 handover interfaces conform to applicable ETSI and 3GPP specifications, including message structure, encoding (ASN.1 BER/DER), protocol behavior and error handling.
Data Accuracy
Validation that Intercept Related Information and Content of Communication contain complete, accurate and correctly formatted data that can be used as evidence in legal proceedings, including all mandatory fields per ETSI specifications.
Security & Access Control
Review of authentication mechanisms, encryption protocols (TLS 1.2/1.3), certificate management, role-based access controls and audit logging to ensure only authorized personnel can access interception functions and sensitive data is protected.
Operational Procedures
Examination of warrant handling workflows, target provisioning processes, delivery confirmation mechanisms and documentation practices to verify operational compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.
Evidence Preservation
Assessment of data retention policies, storage security, integrity protection and audit trail completeness to ensure intercepted data and associated records can support future investigations and legal proceedings.
Why Standards Compliance Matters
Regulatory Acceptance
Authorities require demonstrable compliance with national LI frameworks, which typically reference ETSI and 3GPP standards. Standards-compliant solutions reduce approval time and audit risk.
Evidence Admissibility
Courts require proof that intercepted data was collected using approved methods and formats. ETSI/3GPP compliance supports the chain of custody and evidence integrity needed for legal proceedings.
Interoperability
This is a flexible section where Standards-based interfaces ensure your LI system works with multi-vendor network equipment and can deliver to multiple law enforcement agencies with different monitoring facilities.
Future-Proofing
Following established standards protects your investment by ensuring compatibility with evolving network technologies, new service types and updated regulatory requirements.
