Digital forensics entails the scientific retrieval, documentation and evaluation of data in a controlled environment. All types of magnetic and digital media can be analysed including, but not limited to:

• PCs
• Laptops 
• Hard disks
• Servers
• USB memory sticks
• CD and DVD
• PDAs / Electronic organisers
• Digital cameras
• Backup tapes
• Phone handsets
• SIM cards
• Memory cards

The forensics team at CCL can safely extract data from the vast majority of media, even if that data has been destroyed or concealed.  We also have an ethical hacking capability.  If required, we can covertly attend the scene of a suspect device.  See search and seize for more information.  

Forensic examinations are conducted using procedures and protocols designed to ensure all data that can be found is recovered and presented in a conclusive and understandable report. Using the latest and most widely recognised forensic tools in our secure and carefully designed laboratories, we are able to present our findings and our methods in any environment from a corporate boardroom to a courtroom.

Our e-discovery capability can extract information from a large number of sources, both electronic and in printed form.  Please contact us for more information as to which is the right solution for you.

Digital forensics should not be confused with the abilities of in-house IT experts. The subject requires specific skills in the scientific discovery and preservation of digital information. The steps taken during a forensic examination should be able to be retraced to achieve the same end results and prove evidential continuity.
