Two senior mobile phone analysts from CCL-Forensics have returned from the prestigious “Mobile Forensics World” event in Chicago.

The event brought together leading forensic practitioners at the city’s Marriot Hotel to attend seminars on the latest advanced data recovery techniques from the evolving range of smart phones.

It was attended by leading Law Enforcement agencies and Government Security bodies from across the world, and is a valuable forum for sharing knowledge and best practice among leading digital forensics providers.

It benefits CCL-Forensics’ clients by giving the company a deeper understanding of the developing world of mobile phone forensics, and the evidential opportunities which can be explored in more complex phones and applications.

One of the CCL-Forensics analysts who attended said “It was an incredibly useful event, which allowed us to learn valuable techniques and practices from some of the world’s leading lights on mobile phone forensics.

It was a great opportunity to see that our research and development projects complement some of the work being done by world leaders in our field.”

Also under discussion was the validation of tools for use in forensic analysis, which forms the foundation of the ISO17025 standard which CCL-Forensics is already in the advanced stages of attaining. This is required by the Home Office Forensic Science Regulator.
