Digital Forensics

We provide a fully managed and traceable forensic data recovery service to securely collect and preserve evidence contained on digital storage devices.

Our service delivers full chain of custody on all types of data-bearing devices, presenting recovered data ready for an eDiscovery process or any other type of investigation within a business or legal context.

Our primary expertise is recovering data from non-functioning or failing devices, whether through physical damage, malicious tampering or software/hardware faults.

Preserving digital evidence

All data-bearing devices have the potential to contain evidence of misconduct, criminal activity, corporate corruption and a variety of illegal activities. For investigative analysis and prosecutorial process, it is critical to collect and secure the data immediately.

If a device is physically damaged, access to potential evidence may not initially be possible. We have the technical expertise to recover and preserve data from data-bearing devices, with the important addition of providing a secure full chain of custody.
