Digital Forensics
Investigate the concern. Test the explanation.
Examine digital evidence relevant to suspected movement or misuse of business information before or after an employee departure.
01
Define the concern precisely.
Identify the information of concern, relevant users, time period and suspected activity. A clear question makes it easier to prioritize sources and avoid an unfocused search through personal and business material.
02
Correlate the records.
Consider available file, device, communication and account activity. A connected USB device, a file-access event or an unusual timestamp can be relevant without independently establishing theft or intent.
03
Explain competing interpretations.
Test the concern against the available evidence and document gaps. The report should help counsel or leadership understand the findings rather than simply confirm the original suspicion.
RELEVANT SOURCES
Start with what is available.
Discuss the sources that can help answer the question, within an authorized scope.
