Digital forensics, previously called computer forensics, covers a range of areas surrounding the identification, preservation, recovery and analysis of evidence collected from computers and other digital systems. These days many devices contain information stored in a digital form and can be used in various investigations.
The digital forensic specialists at Elvidence have experience performing forensic investigations for law enforcement and regulatory agencies worldwide. They’ve worked for some of the top law firms, major companies, as well as smaller businesses and individuals.
Using specialised equipment and tools, they can ensure that data is preserved and analysed without harming the original information. As a result, the collected evidence is admissible in a court of law.
Digital forensic services now cover a range of things beyond analysing corporate and desktop computer systems. Mobile devices, for example, are no longer used just for communication; they’re increasingly a tool for accessing personal and business data on the move. By forensically examining a smartphone or tablet, a computer forensic expert can establish an individual’s activity. For example, the device may provide evidence of the messages sent, photos taken, files accessed, and websites browsed at a particular time or location.
Digital forensic experts at Elvidence can extract information from mobile devices and produce detailed reports. These reports typically cover far beyond the accessed websites, calls made, or texts sent. They often include times, locations, and movements of the device, with accuracy within a few metres. This valuable evidence can help establish facts in commercial disputes, family matters or criminal cases.
Network forensics may be called on to extract data from servers and hundreds of connected systems from desktop PCs to mobile devices in large organisations. It can include network communications, VoIP phone systems and more. Computer network traffic analysis may detect unusual and unauthorised activities. Most importantly, data capture can be carried out with no interruption to the business’s regular operation.
Please refer to our eDiscovery services if you need assistance with civil law search warrants, also known as Anton Piller Orders (for NSW, “search orders”).
Elvidence also offers computer forensic expert witness services. The computer forensic experts are highly qualified and have experience working with police forces in Australia, the US and elsewhere. They prepare and present accurate, relevant expert witness reports or provide a forensic second opinion in civil and criminal courts or other hearings. Our computer forensic experts abide by the Harmonised Expert Witness Code of Conduct in preparing reports and giving evidence.
A computer forensics investigator is a trained professional working at law enforcement or commercially to recover and interpret computer devices’ information.
We don’t distinguish between a computer forensic specialist or a computer forensic investigator and use the terms interchangeably on this website. The same concept applies to computer investigators, computer forensic experts, digital forensic experts, digital forensic specialists and digital forensic investigators. While different words, they all mean the same thing.
