Tablet & Smartphone Forensics: No matter if you’re using a cell phone or tablet to make a phone call, create and edit documents, update social media, send messages, make financial transactions, or view websites, mobile devices are the major mode of communication and a common tool in corporate needs. Whether searching on the newest smartphones or the most basic pre-paid cell phone, cellphone forensics are a big part of investigative techniques as an experienced computer forensic team can uncover a wide variety of evidence. Including information about the parties who were on the receiving end of those calls or texts or messages, a digital forensics expert can discover GPS locations, call logs, text messages, contacts, passwords, pictures, emails, deleted files, videos, and more.
Computer Forensics: A detailed computer forensic investigation includes locating and recovering any and all relevant information or traces of information that may exist on a computer or storage device, including emails, deleted documents, software, websites and more. When data was created, duplicated, erased, or sent is also investigated by using court-recognized software and tools so as not to corrupt evidence. In addition to data you may have believed was gone for good, a computer forensic investigation will discover far more information than just what your in-house IT expert is able to recover. Smart phones, tablets, email servers, hard drives, back-up storage media, web servers, internet sites, fax machines, zip drives, digital cameras, copy machines and even digital answering machines; it is possible to investigate such devices for electronic evidence.
Undercover Investigations: One of the best ways to uncover evidence is through undercover investigations and surveillance, no matter if the situation being investigated involves employee misconduct, fraud, or theft. Each case is customized and planned down to the smallest detail so that your corporate investigation needs are met and your company is not in jeopardy. High-tech surveillance equipment is utilized and/or complex undercover sting operations are conducted; both of which are carefully performed to be admissible in court.
