Below is a step-by-step overview of how we handle every case with the highest level of care and expertise.

How It Works

1

Thorough Case Consultation

Every case begins with a deep dive into the details. We conduct a comprehensive consultation to review all relevant materials—search warrants, charging documents, police reports, video footage, and more. This initial phase ensures we understand the full context of your case, allowing us to tailor our forensic strategy to your specific needs.

Evidence Identification

In today’s digital landscape, accurate identification of digital custodians and data sources is critical. We ask the right questions and leverage our investigative experience to uncover and define the scope of Electronically Stored Information (ESI). From email accounts to messaging apps, servers, devices, and cloud platforms, we leave no digital stone unturned.

Preservation & Collection

Evidence integrity is everything. We use industry-leading tools and best practices to preserve and collect data from computers, mobile devices, and cloud environments. Our techniques are court-approved and defensible, ensuring your evidence maintains its credibility throughout the legal process.

Examination & Analysis

We dive deep into the collected data, leveraging advanced forensic tools and methodologies to examine timelines, recover deleted files, trace user activity, and identify anomalies. Whether you’re navigating a legal case or internal business investigation, our goal is to provide truth-driven answers that support sound decision-making.

Reporting

The technical nature of digital forensics can be daunting. That’s why our team excels in translating complex data into clear, concise, and actionable reports.
