How Digital Forensics Works
1. Consultation
Understand Your Needs
We begin by collaborating with your team to define the investigation’s scope and objectives. From intellectual property theft to insider threats or compliance concerns, our experts determine the most effective strategy to meet your goals.
2. Evidence Collection
Preserve Critical Data
We collect data securely using industry-leading tools and strict chain-of-custody protocols to ensure forensic integrity. Sources include:
- Computers, servers, and networks.
- Mobile devices and cloud platforms (e.g., Office 365, Google Workspace).
- Collaboration tools and social media platforms.
This approach secures the preservation of all evidence in a defensible, forensically sound manner for legal, regulatory, or internal purposes.
3. Forensic Analysis
Discover Critical Evidence
Our team performs an in-depth analysis of collected data to uncover key artifacts and reconstruct events. This includes:
- Examining user activity and system logs to build detailed timelines.
- Recovering deleted, encrypted, or altered files.
- Conducting malware analysis to understand attacker behavior.
Every analysis is grounded in proven forensic techniques and cutting-edge tools, ensuring precise and dependable results.
4. Reporting

We present our findings in comprehensive, audience-specific reports designed for legal teams, regulators, and executives. Our reports feature:
- Key investigation results.
