The cartel conversation happening in your inbox right now.

Competition law violations rarely happen in meeting rooms — they start as informal emails that look routine until a regulator asks to see them. Clawscan detects Article 101 TFEU exposure across your Microsoft 365 tenant, protecting your organisation and your people before it becomes anyone's problem.

What Clawscan detects

Risk patterns detected before and after send.

Competition Law violations don't arrive labelled. Clawscan's AI reads intent, context, and language pattern — not keywords. Shield catches them during drafting. Guard catches everything that moves.

  • Price coordination

    critical

    Emails suggesting alignment of prices, rates, or margins with competitors before a tender, contract, or market move.

    …if we both come in around €180/unit, the client won't push us further — let's align before Friday…

  • Bid-rigging

    critical

    Coordination of tender submissions — cover bids, bid rotation, or deliberate losing to allow a designated winner.

    …you take this one, we'll take the next. Put in something high enough to look competitive but not win…

  • Market allocation

    critical

    Agreements to divide territories, customers, or product lines between competitors to avoid mutual competition.

    …we stay out of the Benelux, they stay out of DACH — that way neither of us undercuts the other…

  • Information exchange

    high

    Sharing of commercially sensitive data — pricing plans, capacity, costs, or strategy — with competitors outside legitimate channels.

    …our Q3 list prices are going up 8% — thought you should know before you finalise your own…

  • Collective boycott

    high

    Coordination to jointly refuse to supply or deal with a specific customer, supplier, or new entrant.

    …if we all stop quoting them, they'll have no choice but to accept our terms. Are you in?

  • Hub-and-spoke coordination

    medium

    Indirect coordination via a common intermediary — supplier, platform, or trade association — passing competitor information.

    …the association shared everyone's margin data — useful to know where the others are sitting…

Dual-mode demo

One model. Two layers of protection.

Regulatory context

The enforcement environment is hostile.

EU and national competition authorities are more active, better resourced, and increasingly reliant on digital evidence lately.

  • 10%
    of global annual turnover — maximum fine under Article 101 TFEU

    No cap by revenue

    For a €5B turnover company, maximum exposure is €500M — per infringement, not per company. Senior individuals can face criminal liability in several EU member states.

  • Dawn raids
    Email is now the first thing investigators copy

    Email is exhibit A

    Email is among the first things investigators copy. Informal coordination that would never appear in board minutes is routinely documented in emails between sales teams and procurement staff.

  • Leniency
    First to report gets immunity — racing incentive

    Your counterparty may already have reported

    EU leniency programmes create a first-mover advantage. If a competitor has self-reported coordination, your emails may already be in the hands of investigators before you know an inquiry exists.

How it works

From email to action in seconds.

  1. 01

    Employee drafts an email

    Shield activates automatically in Outlook for all employees in your Entra security group. No configuration required per user.

  2. 02

    AI evaluates in real time

    The Competition Law model analyses language, intent, and counterparty context. If risk is detected, an alert surfaces before the email is sent.

  3. 03

    Email enters shared mailbox

    Every sent and received email is scanned by Guard — building a complete, timestamped compliance record across your organisation.

  4. 04

    Compliance team acts

    Flagged emails surface in the Guard dashboard and in the Outlook add-in. Escalate, log, report, or clear — all from one place.
