Forensic Services
Computer Forensics is the collection, preservation, analysis, and presentation of computer-related evidence. Evidence might be sought in a wide range of computer crime or misuse, including but not limited to theft of trade secrets, theft of or destruction of intellectual property, fraud, civil disputes, and human resources/employment proceedings.
Digital Integrity Solutions forensic specialists draw on an array of methods for discovering data that resides in a computer system, or recovering deleted, encrypted, or damaged file information. Any or all of this information may help during discovery, depositions, or actual litigation.
Computer forensics analysis is becoming increasingly useful to businesses. Computers can contain evidence in many types of human resources proceedings, including sexual harassment suits, allegations of discrimination, wrongful termination claims, and others. Evidence can be found in electronic mail systems, on network servers, and on individual employee's computers. However, due to the ease with which computer data can be manipulated, if the search and analysis is not performed by a computer forensics specialist, it could likely be thrown out.
Companies must safeguard critical business information. An unfortunate concern today is the possibility that data could be damaged, destroyed or misappropriated by a discontented individual.
A recent F.B.I. survey estimates that disgruntled employees are an equally likely source of attack as independent hackers. Traditional IT security mechanisms concentrate on repelling external threats, allowing many internal attacks to go unnoticed. Our Forensic team can help protect employers in the event that an individual's employment must be terminated for cause.
Before an individual is informed of their termination, a computer forensic specialist would come on-site and create an exact duplicate of the data on the individual's computer. In this way, should the employee choose to do anything to that data before leaving, the employer is protected. Damaged or deleted data can be replaced, and evidence can be recovered to show what occurred. This method can also be used to bolster an employer's case showing the removal of proprietary information, or to protect the employer from false charges made by the employee.
