We develop standards that support the technical requirements of national and international obligations for law enforcement, including the lawful interception and retention of the communications-related data of electronic communications. Lawful Interception (LI) and Retained Data (RD) play a crucial role in helping law enforcement agencies to investigate terrorism and serious criminal activities. We have pioneered the development and maintenance of LI and RD capabilities, and its standards are being adopted around the world due to the increased efficiency and lower cost resulting from their use. Global interest in the committee’s work continues to grow, with new organizations joining in the standardization process.
