Computer Forensic Investigations
Computer Forensics is the preservation, recovery and investigation of data present on a computer hard drive, in a manner that so that the evidence it produces can be used in a criminal or civil court, or at a tribunal or other legal/disciplinary hearing. This includes any previously deleted data which can be recovered using computer forensic tools and techniques.
This method can also be applied to examine any other type of digital device and removable media (i.e. DVDs, CDs to floppy disks, mobile phones and digital camera memory cards).
At Athena Forensics our computer forensic experts understand that computer evidence is highly volatile and when used in evidence should be examined in such a way that the data is not altered or affected as any other approach could open up the investigation to legal challenge.
The extraction of data from any storage device is undertaken whilst maintaining the maximum possible integrity of the information recovered and is achieved by forensically imaging a copy of the source media. All computer forensic examinations are carried out using up to date technology following the relevant guidelines and protocols.
Our team of computer forensic experts have been involved in various types of criminal cases ranging from indecent images, fraud murder to drug offences (with both LSC and private funded clients). We are also highly experienced in commercial and civil litigation cases ranging from computer forensic investigations into the recovery of deleted e-mails to the misuse of computers at work.
