Digital forensics

Preserve evidence. Reconstruct events. Inform decisions.

The solution

We analyse digital evidence in a structured manner to support internal investigations, understand incidents and establish the sequence of events. Whether the question is how an attacker got in, whether an employee copied client data, or what really happened to a deleted set of records, the answer has to stand up to scrutiny. We collect evidence with authorisation, record its integrity, analyse it methodically and report what the evidence shows and what it does not.

Business value

Evidence-based decisions with traceability of the analysis performed.

Service scope

Digital forensics

Four stages, each with a clear deliverable. Where AI helps, it is marked.

01

Scope definition and authorised evidence collection

We agree in writing what is being investigated, which devices and accounts are in scope, and who authorises access.

02

Data acquisition with integrity and custody records

Forensic copies of disks, phones, mailboxes and cloud accounts, with hash values and a custody log for every item.

Extraction and search
03

Analysis of devices, logs and relevant digital artefacts

Recovery of deleted files, examination of system and application logs, browser and email history, and USB or transfer activity.

Evidence triage
04

Timeline reconstruction and identification of indicators

A time-ordered account of what happened, the indicators to look for elsewhere, and a report written for the audience that has to act on it.

Event correlation
AI use cases

Three AI use cases, all optional

Optional. Every AI feature uses data you approve, can be switched off, and keeps a person in the loop.

Evidence triage

Sorts thousands of recovered files and messages by relevance to the questions under investigation, so analysts start with what matters.

Extraction and search

Finds names, numbers, documents and phrases across images, PDFs and chat exports, including in Portuguese.

Event correlation

Links log entries, file activity and account actions across devices into one sequence for the analyst to verify.

When this service makes sense

Preserve evidence. Reconstruct events. Inform decisions.

  • You suspect data theft, fraud or misuse of systems by an insider.
  • A security incident has been contained and management needs to know how it happened.
  • Legal counsel, HR or a regulator needs findings that can be defended.

Frequently asked questions

What clients ask us

Is the evidence admissible?

We follow recognised acquisition and custody practices and document every step. Whether evidence is used in a legal process is decided with your counsel; our reports are written to support that.

Can you examine phones and cloud accounts?

Yes. Mobile devices, laptops, servers, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace accounts, and exports from messaging applications.

How confidential is the work?

Engagements are covered by a confidentiality agreement, work is restricted to named analysts, and evidence is stored encrypted and returned or destroyed at the end as you instruct.
