Paraben Corporation

What Paraben Corporation does

Paraben Corporation is a privately held, founder-led digital forensics software company founded in 1999 and headquartered in Gruetli Laager, Tennessee. The company develops the E3 Platform (Electronic Evidence Examiner), a unified digital investigation platform that acquires, processes, and analyzes data from mobile devices, computers, cloud services, and IoT devices, integrating DFIR, OSINT, and cyber artifact analysis into a single workflow. Paraben has extended its portfolio with two proprietary AI systems — Zandra AI, an augmented intelligence tool for DFIR artifact analysis with active logging and secure-by-design architecture for courtroom admissibility, and the Police Intelligence Engine, which correlates and link-maps case data for law enforcement investigations. The company also offers UAS and Counter-UAS operations training and consulting services for digital investigations and custom AI solutions.

Paraben serves law enforcement agencies, government institutions, private investigators, DFIR consultants, enterprise organizations, and criminal defense legal practitioners. Revenue is generated through three primary streams: subscription-based software licensing via the Digital Investigator Membership Program (monthly or annual), professional services including training and certification, and consulting/custom AI solutions. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales, a self-serve e-commerce storefront, and a channel partner/reseller program. The company operates with 11-50 employees, has never raised disclosed external funding, and remains under the leadership of founder and CEO Amber Schroader since its inception.
