The examination

The examination

A sealed device arrives.

Every engagement starts the same way — evidence received, logged, and photographed. Nothing is touched before it's documented.

The examination

We image it — bit for bit.

A forensic copy is made on write-blocked hardware, then hash-verified. We work the copy. The original is never altered.

The examination

Deleted isn't gone.

Messages, locations, photos, app activity — fragments people believe were erased are carved back out of unallocated space.

The examination

Every artifact, traceable.

Each finding is timestamped, sourced, and tied to the evidence it came from — built to survive cross-examination.

The examination

A report that holds up.

The result is a clear, plain-language report your team — and a jury — can actually follow. Backed by testimony when you need it.

We talk through the case, the devices involved, and what questions actually need answering — before any work begins.
