Mobile phones store a lot more data than many people realise. They are also so commonly used as a communication tool that they can hold vital evidence for use in criminal cases, legal disputes or other HR/disciplinary scenarios. CCL-Forensics provides the widest possible range of mobile phone forensic investigations, from a comparatively simple download of data (call logs, text messages, phonebook etc.) to more complex forensic extractions, including analysis of GPS data, “apps”, internet history – even interfacing directly with the circuitry to extract additional evidence.

If mobile phone misuse is suspected in the workplace, it is important that certain procedures are followed to avoid any potential legal challenge. Like computer forensics, the data in a mobile phone is fragile, and could be compromised if not handled properly. Please refer to our guidelines in cases of suspected mobile phone misuse for more information.

When a mobile phone arrives at CCL-Forensics, it is analysed using one – or often, more than one – of a range of forensic phone extraction tools. As smartphones continue to evolve, CCL-Forensics is constantly developing new techniques to extract more and more evidence.
