Singapore – Proofpoint has introduced a new investigations platform aimed at organisations operating in heavily regulated and litigation-sensitive sectors, expanding its Digital Communications Governance portfolio with an AI-based system designed to automate compliance and legal investigations.
The new platform, ‘Prism Investigator’, is intended to help enterprises manage investigations involving large volumes of communications and business data spread across collaboration tools, archives, mobile channels and enterprise systems. The platform uses agentic AI to analyse communications and related records, reconstruct timelines and generate case summaries intended to support regulatory and legal review processes.
Prism Investigator is designed to reduce the time required for investigations from several weeks to a matter of minutes by replacing manual workflows involving exports, keyword searches and fragmented data analysis. The platform is described as source-agnostic, enabling organisations to connect structured and unstructured datasets within a single investigative environment.
“Our customers are under constant pressure to move faster while remaining precise and defensible,” Harry Labana, SVP & GM, Digital Communications Governance Business Unit at Proofpoint, stated.
“Prism Investigator replaces fragmented, manual investigations with autonomous, explainable AI that reconstructs what happened, why it matters, and who was involved so teams can move from evidence to understanding with greater speed and confidence.”
Additionally, the new platform integrates with Microsoft 365 communications, archives and business records while also incorporating contextual data such as trading activity, system logs and operational records. This helps correlate both human-generated and AI-generated communications in order to reconstruct events and identify patterns relevant to investigations.
Audit trail functionality and explainability features are also included to provide visibility into investigator inputs and AI-generated reasoning. Proofpoint said these controls are designed to support transparency and defensibility during regulatory examinations or litigation proceedings.
The launch comes as compliance costs and governance demands continue to increase across regulated industries.
Prism Investigator is scheduled for release in mid-June 2026, initially supporting Proofpoint Archive and additional data integrations. Early access is being offered to selected customers and partners ahead of wider availability.
