Computer Forensic Investigation
What is a Computer Forensic Investigation?
The goal of computer forensics is to examine digital media in a forensically sound manner with the aim of preserving, recovering, analyzing and presenting facts and opinions about the information. It focuses on where the evidence is located, how to access it, understanding what it shows and what to do with it.
Although it is most often associated with the investigation of a wide variety of computer crime computer forensics may also be used in civil proceedings.
Whenever electronic equipment has been used, there is a potential source of evidence and information, and a trail to piece together misuse or wrong doing.
How is the computer forensic investigation carried out?
This is case dependant. Our team of investigators will carry out an investigation on the device(s) of concern. A process called ‘imaging’ may be needed whereby a forensic copy of the device is taken and examined leaving the original untouched. This imaging process can be executed on, or off-site. There may be instances where court orders are required to gain access to the devices of concern.
Typical cases we work on include:
- Intellectual property theft
- Suspected inappropriate computer use
- Executive misconduct
- Employment dispute
- Libellous content on feedback
- Cloning of websites
- Online bullying
