Legal, compliance & investigative workflows
Preserving YouTube material for matters under review often requires more than a downloaded file. StormKeep delivers video files, metadata captured at delivery time, hashes, timestamps, and manifests into your secure cloud destination — with delivery records designed to support chain-of-custody style documentation.
StormKeep does not provide legal advice and does not guarantee admissibility. Customers define sources and intended use.
Investigations and compliance matters can depend on content that changes quickly: videos get removed, channels disappear, and descriptions are edited. The hardest part is preserving the content with a documented process and reproducible records.
Screenshots and one-off downloads rarely include manifests, hashes, or consistent metadata output.
For time-sensitive matters, teams need on-demand handling within defined scope.
Legal teams often require delivery into secured, customer-controlled storage.
A preservation-focused package, delivered into your environment.
| Deliverable | What it provides |
|---|---|
| Video files | MP4 at configurable quality tiers, delivered into your storage |
| Hashes | SHA-256 per file, generated at delivery time for integrity checks |
| Timestamps | UTC capture timestamps recorded per asset in the manifest |
| Metadata | Structured metadata captured at delivery time (title, description, channel, upload date, view count at capture) |
| Transcripts/captions | VTT/TXT where available |
| Manifest | JSONL/CSV index of items, statuses, timestamps, and hashes |
Documented from submission to delivery.
Provide target URLs (or defined source sets) relevant to the matter.
S3, GCS, Azure Blob, or SFTP — customer-controlled destinations.
On-demand jobs can be triggered through the delivery workflow or by contacting the team for priority handling.
Manifests provide a timestamped index of what was delivered.
Informal preservation methods are common in early-stage matters. At higher stakes, teams often need structured delivery records and repeatable process — not one-off files and screenshots.

Yes — into customer-controlled S3/GCS/Azure or via SFTP.
No. Customers define and approve the sources and intended use.
Customers are responsible for ensuring they have the right to use requested sources for their intended purpose. Consult counsel as needed.
Scope the matter, deliver to your secure storage, and retain manifests for downstream review.
