Digital Forensic Services, Incident Handling and Response

Your system has been broken into, an employee has been accessing illicit material or many of the other possible incidents have occurred.

What do you do?

Just pulling the plug (as many people do) destroys critical volatile evidence and can damage or even destroy vital data.

You need an expert.

Digital Forensics describes the methodology and techniques used to capture and gather electronic evidence that will ensure that an appropriate response can be taken.

Incident response, preservation and expert analysis of digital evidence may provide the only evidence in determining whether computer systems are or have been used for fraud, criminal or unauthorized use.

Using scientific and proven analytical techniques, we can safely investigate computer Operating Systems and File Structures to either aid in system maintenance and troubleshooting or in determining the potential for Evidence.
