Mobile phone forensics

Mobile phones are becoming small computers - as memory capacities and functionality increase. Mobile phone forensics is therefore becoming an increasingly vital service in analysing the evidence they may contain.

Mobile phone forensics can be used in a number of different sectors - from investigating misuse of a phone in harassment or intimidation cases, to analysing the role they may play in criminal activity. Defence solicitors also use mobile phone forensics to challenge digital evidence submitted by the prosecution.

Typically, a forensic investigation uses techniques consistent with Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) guidelines to retrieve text picture messages, call logs, photos, videos, internet history, address books and other types of data - ensuring the phone’s forensic integrity.

The process of mobile phone forensics is made more complex by the fact that all makes and models of phones are different, and require a wide range of investigative tools and techniques.

CCL-Forensics has a dedicated mobile phone forensic lab, and a team of analysts - many of whom are specialists in certain types of phone hardware and software.

To keep pace with the ever changing world of mobile phone forensics, CCL-Forensics has a commitment to research and development, to ensure the company has the necessary forensic tools and techniques as new phones are launched.

We are also able to recover often crucial deleted data from certain makes and models of mobile phones, and can extract raw data (also known a Hex dumping) from a wide variety of devices.
