Quotes

Brand protection is incredibly important as CSAM crime damages businesses’ reputation immensely. In particular, banking employees are vulnerable to blackmail and so it’s important for banks to ensure that they do not have staff who engage in this criminal behavior.


NetClean offers a way for us to contribute to SDG 16.2. Taking action to stop child sexual abuse material from being accessed or distributed with
the help of company assets is a concrete and very tangible way for us to act on the essence of this global goal.


This is why leadership from the very top level of an organization is so important. If more take steps, not just business leaders but also governments and other institutions, to implement solutions in their own IT environments, we can further reduce the sphere of operability for criminals.

Real cases

When CSAM cases are reported by the media, it is often software that has detected the material on a work device. In these cases, investigations will have been opened by the police and searches will have widened to other devices and a suspect's home. 

Reported cases have found thousands of images stored on work and private devices, which have led to prosecutions. In some cases, real-life abuse of children living with the perpetrator has also been uncovered. This has led to prosecution and long-term imprisonment.

Our customers help uncover these cases and as a consequence, help safeguard children.

An actual case from a global company that uses software to detect child sexual abuse material on work computers.

In 2020 the company’s security department in Sweden received an alert that one of their employees had accessed child sexual abuse material using the company computer. Information about the incident was forwarded to the police who verified the content as illegal and initiated an investigation.

The suspect was brought into custody and early on confessed to possession of child sexual abuse material. During the house search the police found several mobile phones, computers and an external hard drive, which were confiscated and examined for further evidence. When all seized devices had been analysed, the police had found more than 15,000 images and nearly 4,000 video files depicting child sexual abuse.

The suspect was found guilty in court and sentenced to two years in prison

15,000 images and thousands of video files found after alert from company computer

The following is an actual case from a large organisation with multinational presence. The organisation has software that detects child sexual abuse material installed on all company computers globally.

The case was uncovered when security officials at the company Headquarters received an alert that one of their employees in the US had accessed three images depicting child sexual abuse. The individual who worked in HR had used his company laptop to access the files. The alert also showed that the images had been accessed outside working hours. In the days following the first alert, numerous new alerts were received.

The security officials at the company HQ confirmed the content of the images with law enforcement authorities. They then notified members of the local ICAC task force in the US about the suspicious activity. The local police authorities reviewed the images and obtained a search warrant for the suspects home.

During the house search, a large number of electronic equipment was seized, including the company laptop. During the examination of the seized devices, the police discovered hundreds of child sexual abuse images. The suspect, who pleaded guilty in court, faced a maximum sentence of two years in jail.

One alert led to hundreds of child sexual abuse files being discovered

This is an actual case from an organisation in Sweden who use software that detects child sexual abuse material on work computers.

The following case was unrevealed when the organization received an alert that one of their employees had used a USB-stick to access child sexual abuse material on his work computer. The alert contained five files, with images that were classified as child sexual abuse material, but not of the most severe character. The images were verified and the police initiated an investigation. A house search at both the workplace and the individual’s home was planned and later executed.

Meanwhile, the employee had been away from the office for a week. When he returned, the computer sent alerts for four more instances that had occurred while the individual was using the computer away from the office. The alerts were from different times of the day and included a larger number of files.

At the house search the suspects computer and other devices were seized, including his mobile phone. When the police examined the contents of the mobile phone, they found newly produced material, images and videos, depicting the sexual abuse of two young children living with the suspect – his partner’s two children.

Further investigation revealed that the suspect was acting in collaboration with another man, who directed the sexual abuse of the children, which was live-streamed to him via Skype.

As a result of the detection, police investigation and judicial process, both men were sentenced to jail and the children were safeguarded.

One alert led the police to CSAM production, which helped remove children from real-life harm
