Computer Forensics and DFIR

Computer forensics covers the collection, processing, examination and reporting of electronic evidence in investigations, employment matters, litigation, and cybercrime or data breach incidents. We examine data from laptops, desktops, servers, mobile devices, cloud services and external storage, applying advanced investigative and analytical techniques to establish what happened and when.

Where a matter involves a live cyber attack or a privacy breach, the same computer forensics discipline is applied as digital forensic incident response (DFIR). DFIR combines forensic examination with incident containment and recovery: establishing how an attacker gained access, what they did, which systems and data were affected, and what has to be reported.

Online Investigations

Online investigations identify, capture and preserve information published on the internet in a form that can be relied on later. They are used to locate relevant material, establish what was published and by whom, and preserve it before it is edited or removed.
