Guardify

Guardify began with a practical problem identified by Project Harmony, a thought-leader Child Advocacy Center in Omaha, Nebraska. The center saw how sensitive forensic interview recordings and other digital evidence could become fragmented, difficult to secure, and burdensome to share across the agencies responsible for protecting children and pursuing justice. Giving Tech Labs, a Seattle innovation lab focused on technology for the public interest, incubated the company to address that gap. This origin shaped Guardify’s mission: enable seamless access to, organization, and use of digital evidence for justice, security, and restoration.

Today, Guardify operates as a sustainable social enterprise headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, generating revenue through SaaS subscriptions. Its cloud-based platform helps Child Advocacy Centers, child protective services, prosecution offices, law enforcement agencies, and other legal and social-service organizations manage interviews, case files, evidence, and communications in one secure environment. Features include evidence upload and storage, access controls, audit trails, case management, mobile access, real-time collaboration, transcription and captioning, translation, redaction, and evidence verification. The company reports that more than 12,000 legal and social-service organizations rely on Guardify, reflecting its evolution from a focused solution for Child Advocacy Centers into a connected evidence platform for the broader public-safety and justice ecosystem.
