Frequently Asked Questions

Understanding CSAM Investigations & Digital Forensic Analysis

What is a CSAM investigation?

A Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) investigation analyzes alleged crimes where it is reported that an image or video depicting a child under the age of 18 in a sexually explicit manner is used. This includes reviewing digital forensic evidence, law enforcement reports, and search warrants to determine how, when, and where digital material was accessed or stored.

Can you determine if CSAM was accessed intentionally or unintentionally?

Yes! We analyze browser history, file creation metadata, and system logs to determine if content was knowingly downloaded or accessed. We determine if images and videos were actually in “possession” on the device or merely stored on the drive without the knowledge of the individual.

How do you investigate NCMEC Cyber Tips?

We examine NCMEC & law enforcement reports for misidentified content, incorrect IP address attributions, and investigative inconsistencies.

Can CSAM forensic analysis help with criminal defense?

Absolutely! Our forensic evidence is court-admissible and can support legal arguments, suppression motions, and exonerations.

How long does a CSAM forensic investigation take?

The timeline for an investigation varies based on several factors, including the size of the of discovery, complexity of the alleged crime, and many other factors. At Black Dog Forensics, we initiate investigations immediately, and when full discovery is already present, we often complete these types of investigations within 1 to 2 weeks.
