Our Digital Forensics Expertise

We provide guidance and advice to our clients to identify and preserve critical ESI for the individuals, data sources, and pertinent timeframes of the electronic data being preserved and analyzed. Data sources we encounter include corporate file shares, cloud-based platforms, social media, chat collaboration applications, mobile devices, structured database systems, and other non-standard platforms.

We are qualified expert witnesses and have extensive experience providing expert testimony in various jurisdictions worldwide. Beyond providing collected data for legal review, the digital forensics team can analyze data points at the source to determine user access and behavior in support of an investigation. Our depth of experience includes proactive consulting and advisory services in support of litigation, investigations, or as part of internal corporate policy development, as well as prompt deployment of collection and analysis expertise in reactive and crisis scenarios requiring immediate response.

Identification & Mapping of Digital Data

Our experts help clients document their IT infrastructure to understand where the digital information resides, how it translates to the business operation, how it is secured, and how to effectively preserve that digital information.

Preservation & Forensic Collection of Disparate Data Sources & Systems

Our professionals are adept at preserving and collecting electronic data from diverse sources, including computers, servers, external media, cell phones, cloud-based repositories, collaborative suites, chat messaging apps, and more. As new technologies emerge, our team adapts and becomes capable of capturing these data sources.

Remote Data Collection

With many people working remotely, it is challenging and cost-prohibitive to travel to distant and different locations to preserve and collect data. Our digital forensics team can send a remote collection kit to each location to perform the preservation of data remotely. Our collection spans all data sources including emails, PDFs, chats, hard copies, media files, and document productions, among others. We execute the preservation of the ESI in a forensically sound manner to ensure it can be relied upon in a legal scenario.

Our data collection efforts include:

  • Chat Messaging Apps – Teams, Whatsapp, Messenger
  • Cloud-Based Repositories - Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Box
  • Computers, Servers & External Media
