Who Might Need Forensic Investigations?

Forensic investigations may be necessary when you suspect digital crimes like hacking, fraud, or IP theft have occurred. They provide digital evidence and technical insights when:

Unauthorised access to devices, accounts or systems is discovered
Sensitive data is leaked or stolen
Counterfeit products using stolen IP enter the market
Anonymous threats are received demanding ransomware payments
Fake social media profiles, sites or emails damage reputations

Our computer forensics services help identify perpetrators, quantify damages, and support legal action. We provide evidence for HR issues, police investigations, civil lawsuits, insurance claims, and more.

Corporations, legal teams, private individuals, law enforcement and more turn to our technical specialists when they suspect cybercrimes but lack the expertise to investigate digitally. Our forensic analysis provides definitive proof of what happened.

How Do Forensic Investigations Work?

Our expert cyber investigators utilise court-admissible forensic techniques to gather irrefutable evidence from computers, mobile devices, networks, cloud accounts and more. We specialise in:

Device, Media and Network Forensics

Extracting activity logs, files, communications and other critical digital evidence.

Mobile Phone Forensics

Cracking locked devices to uncover call logs, messages, app activity, location history and media.

Computer Forensics

Recovering deleted emails, files, internet history, user activity logs and cached content.

Open Source Investigations

Scouring the internet and dark web for stolen data leaks, fake sites/accounts, hacker chatter.

Cloud Forensics

Accessing compromised cloud accounts like email, storage and even SaaS apps to understand what occurred.

Our technical experts crack passwords, bypass locks, reconstruct activity timelines, trace hackers, authenticate evidence, and quantify damages. We uncover the digital breadcrumbs perpetrators leave behind.
