Digital Forensics
Structured examination and interpretation of digital evidence.
Digital evidence, clearly explained
Digital devices and systems can contain important evidence about communications, activity, documents and events. Digital forensic examination involves the careful review of relevant data, with the aim of establishing what the available material can reliably show.
Depending on the instruction and the material available, an examination may include computers, mobile devices, digital files, metadata, application data, communications and activity records. The precise scope is agreed for each case.
Methodical examination
A sound forensic approach considers the source and integrity of the material, the questions that need to be answered and the methods appropriate to the evidence. Findings are assessed in context, with care taken to distinguish direct observations from interpretation.
Clear, evidence-led reporting
Reports should explain the material examined, the work undertaken, the relevant findings and the reasoning behind any conclusions. Where information is missing, data cannot be recovered or a conclusion cannot be reached reliably, those limitations should be stated clearly.
Support for legal matters
Digital forensic evidence may be relevant to criminal, civil or family proceedings and to other disputes where digital material is in issue. The work is tailored to the questions raised by the case and the requirements of the instruction.
