01 // The federal problem

CATLABS · 01

The data is held. The assets are not on the books.

/01

Scattered across components

Seized and collected data sits with many components, labs and task forces, each with its own process.

/02

No common inventory

There is no consistent government-wide way to identify and account for digital assets found in that data.

/03

Oversight is coming

Inspectors General, GAO and Congress are asking how agencies find, hold and account for these assets.

02 // Readiness

CATLABS · 02

What the Inventory Act would require.

H.R. 10317 was introduced on September 8, 2026 and is pending in the House Judiciary Committee. If enacted, it would require:

Requirement	How CAT Labs helps
Scan seized or collected ESI for key material	Recovery CAT discovery engine
Secure assets as soon as practicable	Security CAT threshold custody
Log and monitor all access to custody systems	Key ledger now; monitoring in development
Annual audit of digital assets and custody controls	Inventory and audit reporting
IG audits and GAO review	Records drawn from the same ledger

03 // Buying

CATLABS · 03

Ways to buy.

SBIR Phase III

Sole-source path

CAT Labs is an NSF SBIR awardee. Agencies and primes can award Phase III work without a new competition.

Contract vehicles

Existing vehicles

GSA MAS, Army ITES-SW2, and NASA SEWP / NASPO through Carahsoft.

Funding

Forfeiture funds

The bill would let the DOJ and Treasury forfeiture funds pay for the tools it requires.

04 // Who we work with

CATLABS · 04

For the people who own the risk.

Leadership

CIOs and CISOs

A controlled system for key material instead of files on shared drives.

Digital assets on the same footing as other seized property.

Oversight

Inspectors General

Complete custody and access records to audit against.

Operations

Forfeiture and forensic leaders

More recovered value with less manual review.
