Evidence sources
We identify the devices, extractions, records, and reports available to address your technical questions.
WHO WE SERVE
Examine the digital evidence. Test the timeline.
We help you independently evaluate available device evidence, communications, and event chronology in a criminal matter, within an agreed and authorized scope.
YOUR PRIORITIES
Make the work relevant.
We shape the work around the questions you face, the people who need the findings, and the decisions those findings will support.
Timeline and context
We assess relevant timestamps, communications, and activity together to help you test the proposed sequence of events.
Methods and limitations
We explain which findings are supported and where assumptions, missing records, or uncertainty limit the conclusions.
01
Test the technical conclusion against its supporting material
A report or extraction may contain observations, interpretations and assumptions that need to be considered separately. We help counsel identify the precise conclusion being tested, examine the available underlying material and assess how far the records support the proposed chronology. The review remains independent of the preferred case outcome.
02
Scope the review before commissioning a new examination
Tell us what material is available and which technical propositions are disputed. An existing report review, examination of supplied data and collection from an authorized device are different scopes. We agree the handling requirements, relevant sources and intended output before work begins.
03
What the engagement can provide
An agreed technical question list; review of the supplied and authorized evidence; a supported event chronology; and an independent technical report where retained. Consultation or testimony should be expressly included where required. Counsel decides the legal strategy and use of the findings.
04
What the evidence cannot establish on its own
Device activity does not necessarily identify the user or establish intent. Extraction completeness, missing records and timestamp interpretation can limit conclusions. DFI does not guarantee access, a particular conclusion, admissibility or a legal outcome.
05
Before we speak
Identify the disputed technical conclusion, relevant reports and extraction material, available underlying records and collection notes, authority/handling restrictions, dates, deadlines, and the form of assistance required.
RELATED SERVICES
Specialist work behind the answers.
These services give us different ways to examine the evidence and support the questions in your matter.
Digital Forensics
Computer forensics
We examine computers and storage records to help you understand what happened in a dispute, investigation, or incident. Your questions guide the examination, and we explain what the available evidence can and cannot establish.
