Computer Forensics

If your data has been lost, modified, hidden, destroyed or disguised we can usually find and preserve it.

If it is still stored somehow on your computers or networks we will find it.

Preserving the Integrity of Systems for Analysis

It is critical to preserve the data on suspect assets and not allow a system to be modified any more than absolutely necessary.

Follow these steps to maintain a system and prepare it for forensic analysis

  • Maintain the State: If the system is on, leave it on, if it is off, leave it off. If a system is on; we will collect volatile data. If a system if off; the act of turning it on will modify hundreds of files. We collect data outside of the host system so no data is ever modified.
  • NO ACCESS Do not allow any access to the computer or system. Any access will change timestamp data and potentially overwrite any previously deleted or modified data.
  • Do not attempt to copy data Copying the data in a "non-forensic" manner can destroy all possibility of using the data for investigative purposes. We copy data on a bit by bit process that verifies all data is forensically sound.

Follow the above steps and contact us at the first opportunity and you will be taking the steps you need to ensure we are able to help you.
