Computer Forensics

Computer, or electronic, forensics involves preserving electronic data by creating a read-only forensic image (clone) of electronic media including computers, phones, tablets, iPads, portable hard drives, thumb drives, DVDs, etc. in such a way that any evidence obtained from them is admissible in court.

Financial Forensics Ltd uses 'Tableau' and 'Logicube' hardware, which are designed to maintain and verify the authenticity of the original electronic media, to acquire data.

We also use a wide range of forensic software including;

'EnCase' and 'Forensic Explorer' - forensic applications accepted by Courts worldwide to assist in the searching of electronic data and the recovery of both existing and previously deleted files.

'Intella' and 'W4' - software which index data to enable fast and thorough searching and analysis of files and emails. W4 can extract a wide variety of information including user activity, USB history and other artifacts.

'Internet Evidence Finder' - which is designed to recover internet artifacts, chat messages, social networking history and more.

'MOBILedit Forensic' - a phone and cloud extractor, data analyser and report generator.
