# NICE Investigate: Digital Investigation and Evidence Management (Policing Insight advertisement feature) > *This page is an explicitly labelled "ADVERTISEMENT FEATURE" published on Policing Insight and authored by Jamie Wilson, Marketing Manager Public Safety EMEA, NICE — i.e., vendor sponsored content, not independent journalism. It is treated here as tier-4 (advocacy/promotional) but is valuable because it is the clearest source for NICE Investigate's cloud architecture and compliance posture: Microsoft Azure hosting, FBI CJIS policy alignment, ISO/IEC 27001 certification, and UK G-Cloud / Cyber Essentials PLUS accreditation. Directly relevant to the Arkansas surveillance investigation's documentation of where law-enforcement evidence data resides and under what compliance regime.* ## Source metadata - **Publisher:** Policing Insight (advertisement feature authored by NICE marketing staff, Jamie Wilson, NICE) - **URL:** https://policinginsight.com/feature/advertisement/nice-investigate-digital-investigation-and-evidence-management/ - **Archived:** 2026-06-07 via firecrawl_scrape (markdown) - **Tier:** 4 (advocacy/promotional — vendor-authored sponsored content) ## Extract — verbatim (lightly cleaned) "NICE Investigate is the Microsoft Azure cloud based solution that breaks down information silos and brings all needed information right to the investigator." ### Certified compliant platform eliminates security concerns (verbatim) - "NICE and Microsoft Azure meet the security requirements for federal, state, and local governments as defined by FBI's CJIS policy" - "Azure has attained the UK's Cyber Essentials PLUS badge and G-Cloud OFFICIAL" - "ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification" - "Antivirus and malware protection" ### Cloud-based solution (verbatim) "Hosted on Microsoft Azure, NICE Investigate makes all types of evidence readily accessible" "NICE's SaaS (Software as a Service) solution limits the up-front hardware and resource costs associated with premise-based storage alternatives" ### Capabilities (verbatim) "Integrate Content from Siloed Data Sources — Draw evidence from disjointed systems into a central repository; Effectively crowdsource evidence from security cameras and more; Convert media into standard format for universal, one-screen access."
