Digital Forensics
We methodically acquire, authenticate, reconstruct and examine data from digital storage media using the latest hardware and software and analytical techniques to present digital evidence at judicial or quasi-judicial proceedings.
When gathering data from digital storage devices (watches, cellphones, laptops, hard drives, backup tapes and computer servers), we create a forensic copy to analyze while cataloguing and preserving the original evidence. We have the sophistication to manage design variances in cellphones and their incompatibility with operating systems – improper handling can easily cause complete data loss, especially during long-term storage.
Our technical, analytical, and investigative computer forensics expertise goes well beyond that of in-house IT professionals. We collaborate with your team to create a formidable presence for your litigation support, affidavits, and expert witness testimony, discussing matters in plain language without inflammatory statements, buzzwords or hype.
