Recovering & Examining Digital Data for Civil & Criminal Investigations

In today’s digital age, desktop computers, laptops, external hard drives and memory sticks have all become integral to the way we work and live our lives. With so much digital activity, the data footprints left behind and stored on these devices are often invaluable to many corporate, criminal and commercial investigations. And, this is where computer forensics comes into play.

What Does It Involve?

As we mentioned, desktop computers and laptops store information and data, leaving a digital footprint. Even altered or deleted files can be detected and a device with fire or water damage may still contain salvageable information inside. It must be said however, uncovering this data is no easy task. It requires the hands of a computer forensic expert, this is their specialty and you will be surprised at what they can find. First, they will collect sources of data such as internet history, deleted and hidden files, emails, time logs, metadate and so on. Next, they will use forensics tools and techniques to secure and examine specific data without altering the source, maintaining its admissibility before reporting it to their client.
