Forensic Collection / Custodian Reports
Certified forensic collections & detailed custodian reports
Through the use of certified Encase technologies and personnel you can freeze the data collected from various sources in time.
Utlizing intelligent data collection techniques, we will provide a preliminary report ( Sample Report ) on the content of each custodian’s collection to allow you to separate what needs to be processed.
The following are color charted diagrams and spreadsheets and provided as part of the collection effort in the report.
This not only provides for a defensible means of eliminating non relevant documents, it also reduces the overall cost to process the remaining documents prior to loading them into an Online/offline storage repository for further review.
The following are some of basic steps we go through to provide you with a seamless and hands free collection and investigation of your clients’ data.
Recommended Next Steps:
- Meeting between examiner and counsel to review the complete data contained within the forensic images and discuss next steps and potential options.
- Production of the supporting tables summarized within this report for client review.
