Digital Forensics
Preserve the sources. Protect the questions.
We help you preserve the evidence your matter depends on. Together, we identify the relevant sources, confirm authority, and plan a documented collection that fits your questions and your operations.
01
Preserve the sources before ordinary activity changes them.
An employee departure, a disputed message or a pending proceeding can make routine device use and account changes important. We help you identify the computers, phones, mailboxes and cloud records that may answer the relevant questions, then agree preservation priorities with you or counsel. A focused plan reduces the risk of collecting too little or unnecessarily exposing unrelated information.
02
Choose a collection that fits the question.
A forensic image, a targeted file collection and a mailbox export preserve different information. We explain which method is suitable for the source and purpose, what it includes and what it leaves out. Collection may take place on site, remotely or in the laboratory, depending on access, technical requirements and the interruption your organization can accommodate.
03
Make the handover and acquisition traceable.
We document the source, relevant device or account identifiers, collection date, method and handling. Verification steps are appropriate to the method, including hash comparisons where applicable. If a source is already an export or copy, we record its origin and the information available about how it was made rather than presenting it as an untouched original.
04
Separate preservation from review and production.
Preserving a source does not mean every accessible record should be examined or delivered. We agree the people, issues, dates and permitted access for the next stage, and identify confidentiality or review restrictions with counsel. The preserved collection can support a later examination without requiring decisions about every record at the moment of acquisition.
05
Start with a concise source and deadline discussion.
Tell us what happened, which devices and accounts are involved, who can authorize collection and whether a deadline or planned system change is approaching. Do not send evidence or credentials through the website. We will agree secure intake and source-specific handling instructions before you transfer material or alter a device.
RELEVANT SOURCES
Start with what is available.
We help you identify which available sources can answer your question, within an authorized scope.
