iTrust 6A to Launch €750,000 Legal Tech Platform for Lawful Data Requests in Q3

Summary
Q3 will bring iTrust 6A’s formal launch of a software platform that manages law-enforcement data access requests, with hiring planned later this year to support expansion.
About 85% of serious EU criminal investigations involve digital evidence, the founders said, leaving companies to handle hundreds of thousands of requests under legal and regulatory pressure, often with urgent disclosure decisions due within hours.
The platform applies six principles—authentication, assurance, appropriateness, assessment, authorisation and accountability—to create an auditable workflow from request receipt to disclosure while keeping final decisions with humans.
€750,000 from Enterprise Ireland, the founders and private backers has funded the company so far, mostly for software development refined with global tech providers over more than a year.
Ireland- and Europe-focused iTrust 6A is targeting telecoms, online platforms and tech groups first as companies prepare for the EU’s e-Evidence Regulation and rising cross-border data requests.
iTrust 6A says it can make urgent data-disclosure decisions auditable and defensible—but can software reduce risk without normalising more surveillance?
Can a six-step workflow really help companies decide when police should access personal data as Europe tightens e-evidence rules?
As cross-border data demands rise, who should decide what gets disclosed to authorities: human judgment, legal teams, or compliance software?
