Why Preparation Matters

A corporate dawn raid – an unannounced search by police, prosecutors or regulators – can disrupt operations within minutes.
Front-desk staff, IT teams and management often feel under pressure to act fast, but mistakes in the first few minutes can compromise your rights, expose confidential data and escalate the situation.

Preparation is key: clear instructions, legal guidance and quick access to counsel dramatically reduce the risk of missteps during a search at company premises.

What our Dawn Raid App can do for you:

Immediate crisis support: Quick support in the event of a search or other crisis situation to minimise downtime and risk.
Consistent communication: Thanks to general information on preparing for an emergency, everyone follows the same verified steps.
Legal defensibility: Record and share relevant facts in real-time as events unfold.
Fits all sectors: tech, manufacturing, healthcare, finance and more!
Data protection by design: encrypted logs & EU-based storage
