Augmented Visual Intelligence and Targeted Online Research
Each year, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) in the United States receives millions of reports via its CyberTipline platform. These reports - submitted by technology companies or the public - contain information and files related to suspected cases of online child abuse. NCMEC forwards these reports to law enforcement agencies worldwide for processing and further investigation. A labor-intensive process.
AviaTor is the ideal solution to support your organization in this work.
Advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies streamline the process and ensure that no critical detail is overlooked. This allows you to prioritize reports more effectively and better assess where your attention is needed most.
FROM PROJECT TO PRODUCT
AviaTor stands for Augmented Visual Intelligence and Targeted Online Research. The project was launched in 2019 with support from the European Union, completed in 2024, and is now offered as a product by ZiuZ.
The software was developed with the support of 16 law enforcement agencies across Europe, in collaboration with Web IQ, INHOPE, and ZiuZ. However, AviaTor is not only intended for Europe but for worldwide use.
KEY FEATURES THAT SAVE LIVES
AviaTor uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) and open-source intelligence to automatically analyze and prioritize NCMEC reports, enabling faster identification of particularly urgent or serious cases.
Organize and track cases clearly, with an intuitive user interface that ensures no detail is overlooked.
Our scoring module allows you to set custom rules and parameters for prioritization.

Frequently Asked Questions
AviaTor, which stands for Augmented Visual Intelligence and Targeted Online Research, is an efficient database tool that helps classify and prioritise all aspects of NCMEC reports. In addition, AviaTor can automatically crawl online sources for additional information for investigations in accordance with the national legal requirements.
Processing reports of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) – from industry, the public and NGOs – is very labour-intensive. The combination of classifying, prioritizing and retrieving additional information from online sources makes AviaTor a valuable asset for your organization that will improve both the quality and quantity of your CSAM report processing. This will free up time and resources to focus on identifying perpetrators and saving victims.
AviaTor is a stand-alone database tool developed for law enforcement for the processing and sorting of NCMEC reports. It has the ability to directly receive your incoming NCMEC reports into the database, but you can also load your old reports and backlog into the system.
The user can use the basic database functionalities, as well as set indicators on which AviaTor can sort reports. It can enrich your reports with open-source intelligence (OSINT) data and inventorizes the media attached to the reports based on hash lists to recognize and flag known material and duplicates, among other functionalities.

Every implementation is different. We look at your current processes, software, installation, and integration needs as well as your national legislation, policies and protocols that could influence your LEAs ability to use the tool.
AviaTor was developed with the support from 16 law enforcement agencies across Europe, ZiuZ Forensics, Web-IQ and INHOPE.
NCMEC reports originate from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, a U.S.-based organization dedicated to addressing cases of missing and sexually exploited children.
A key component of NCMEC’s work is the CyberTipline - a centralized reporting system for suspected online child sexual exploitation.
Technology companies such as Google, Meta, TikTok, and Dropbox are legally obligated to report certain types of content or user behavior that may indicate child sexual exploitation to the CyberTipline.
NCMEC reviews these reports, enriches them with additional data such as IP addresses and geolocation information, and then forwards them to the relevant law enforcement agencies - both within the United States and internationally.
