Build capacity with your own safety teams by capturing digital leakage with guided workflows and safety recommendations.
Identify, Assess, and Document Digital Threats and Other Concerning Behaviors in Real-Time
Because DTAM™ is a Cloud-based platform and operates in the Web browser, it is fully accessible across all device types, including desktops, laptops, tablets, and mobile phones—on both PC and Mac, as well as Apple® and Android® operating systems.
Versatile DTAM™ Benefits
Superintendents and Decision Makers
Protect your students, coordinate evidence gathering, and show proactive leadership in school safety.
Safety Officers and IT
Consolidate digital threat cases, streamline reporting, and ensure your teams work from the same playbook.
K-12 and Higher Education
May be used by school safety teams in both K-12 and higher education for documentation and guidance.
Only 15% of BTAM teams are utilizing publicly available social media information that would inform their behavioral threat assessment, according to the U.S. Secret Service NTAC Report: Findings from a 2025 American School Leader Panel Survey.
DTAM™ bridges this gap by capturing and analyzing the “digital leakage” that occurs when concerning behaviors manifest on personal devices outside school infrastructure. DTAM™ ensures that school safety and threat assessment teams can make data-driven intervention decisions before situations escalate.

AI Analysis with SAVE
(Safety Analysis and Verification Engine)
School teams need actionable insights into what an image may depict and whether it is a worrisome trend. DTAM™’s SAVE AI pipeline –evaluated by experienced SST experts based on previous ground truth data– is designed to alleviate the human work of evaluating concerning images and providing guidance on best practices. The validated data comes from decades of SST’s work in threat assessment ensuring DTAM™’s AI pipeline is derived from best practices. SAVE may be used for image, baseline, and case analysis.

Is DTAM™ meant to replace any current case management software?
Absolutely not. DTAM™ is not designed to replace any current case management system that exists. We understand schools have dedicated case management software. DTAM™ is designed to be a supplemental resource to aid into any case management software that is already in place. One of the great things about DTAM™ is that by generating PDF reports you can attach them into your case management software and know that you’ve checked off the box for digital to complete a full and comprehensive work-up.
Is DTAM™ a monitoring service?
No. DTAM does not proactively search out worrisome online behavior by scraping social media platforms for keywords. We believe that the best source of scanning for worrisome online behavior is by human operators and not automated keyword searches. DTAM™ is designed to guide and assist you with using DTA® principles to find, document, and intervene in worrisome online behavior. Additionally, if you are interested in scans being run for your school district, SST offers Worrisome Online Behavior™ (WOB) Reports that can be performed by our trained threat analysts.
Are there hierarchies that allow different users different visibility?
Yes, there are Lead, Member, Viewer, and Consultant levels. DTAM™ uses a hierarchical organization structure with role-based permissions. Each user is assigned to an organization and given a role that determines their access level. All users are notified as they are assigned to a case, regardless of their access level.
How is data used, stored, and protected?
DTAM™ is built with enterprise-grade security and multi-region data residency to ensure FERPA compliance in the United States and FIPPA/PIPEDA compliance in Canada. Canadian schools’ data is stored on Canadian servers and USA schools’ data is stored on USA servers. The software functions the same regardless of the country, but data is stored on multi-region residency.
Can DTAM™ reports be used to support search warrants and arrest warrants?
Yes. DTAM™ is designed to provide immediacy, transparency, and defensible documentation for Digital Threat Assessment® and investigative workflows. The platform enables authorized users to systematically collect, preserve, and organize open-source intelligence (OSINT) and other digital records that may be used to support search warrant and arrest warrant applications. All uploaded images and digital artifacts are automatically timestamped at the point of entry, preserving critical metadata for evidentiary purposes. This structured, time-stamped documentation helps establish reliability, context, and continuity of information when presented to investigators, supervisors, or judicial authorities.
Does DTAM™ work on a Mac, PC, or phone?
Yes. Because DTAM™ is a Cloud-based platform and operates in the Web browser, it is fully accessible across all device types, including desktops, laptops, tablets, and mobile phones—on both Mac and PC, as well as Apple® and Android® operating systems.
What does onboarding look like?
You will receive an onboarding training video, plus an experienced SST member will schedule a time to train your team live on the software. They will help set up the users for your organization at that time and ensure your team is ready to begin using the software. We will also follow-up and check in to ensure proper usage and that you are gaining value from the platform.
