Forensic investigation of electronic data
In today’s environment, electronically stored information (ESI) such as emails and documents are likely to be important in an investigation. Ensuring that this data is preserved, collected forensically, secured and analysed effectively will help decide outcomes.
Our Forensics team uses advanced technology to make sure that investigations are conducted properly. Leveraging specialised investigation tools, we identify avenues of investigation, review vast amounts of data and minimise costs for clients. Our expert technical capability allows us to produce independent results that are trusted by internal and external stakeholders.
