Our Methodology
  • Initial Assessment

The initial assessment is when forensics investigators analyse the extent of damages incurred and the state of cybercrime scenes. 

  • Digital Evidence Acquisition & Recovery

They document the crime, gather information using various methods like questionnaires, in person interviews, system log reviews etc, and make every effort to collect digital evidence which can be used for forensics analysis. The next step is isolating the evidence, preserving it, and ensuring its integrity is well-maintained, becoming tamper-proof. Forensics experts will scrape through Cloud environments, corporate networks, and all devices connected to them in this phase.

  • Forensic Examination and Analysis

Any fragmented piece/s of evidence is/are reconstructed during the examination process. Forensics investigators begin analysing the data they have gathered and thoroughly review it. By this stage, they can determine how the crime took place, what methods were employed, and how to track down the perpetrators based on digital footprints left behind.

  • Forensics Reporting

A record of all the collected, examined, and analysed data and evidence is consolidated and made available, and a report is generated. This is then shared with the hirer, albeit the law enforcement agencies /individuals utilizing the service.

  • Expert Testimony

If any individual/s or reference/s were found involved in the digital crime, they have to be approached and consent taken from them to testify and provide an expert testimony during the legal proceedings. The same has to be documented too.

  • Criminal or Civil Litigation Support

Now the information reports are ready, and forensics investigators present them to the judge/presiding officer. Witnesses join the case and showcase their findings or experiences as well to support claims.
