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.
