 Computer Forensics is the preservation, recovery and investigation of data present on a computer hard drive, mobile phone or any other type of digital device and removable media (i.e. DVDs, CDs to floppy disks and digital camera memory cards).
At Athena Forensics our 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.
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 examinations are carried out using up to date technology following the relevant guidelines and protocols.
Our team of 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 investigations into the recovery of deleted e-mails to the misuse of computers at work.
The cases in which we are most frequently involved in are:
- Pornographic and Indecent Material
- Fraud
- Theft of data and Intellectual Property
- Drug Offences
- Internet Activity
- E-Discovery
- File Recovery
During the initial stages of a suspected fraud, the handling and timely investigation of computer media is critical to ensuring that any evidence retrieved can be used to limit any damage that such an offence can cause either to an individual or business.
At Athena, we have experience in conducting the examination of digital media for evidence to identify and support investigations where fraud is suspected to have taken place. We provide our clients with a complete service from the securing of evidence and onsite-imaging to digital forensic analysis and expert witness testimony.
Our investigation support ensures that all data, whether deleted or hidden, is considered as part of your case or internal investigation.
