Why Computer Forensics?
Electronic data is extremely volatile and can be easily changed. If electronic data is harvested the wrong way, irreversible damage can be done. 24 Seven Discovere leaves the original media intact while cloning the appropriate data to be examined or reviewed.
Vendor Selection The whole process begins with vendor selection. Before engaging a company to perform computer forensics you should determine if the Electronic Discovery/Forensics vendor is certified. To see if your vendor is a Certified Computer Examiner, visit www.certified-computer-examiner.com/list.htm.
Data Collection
Forensically sound data acquisition is paramount in any case. Improper collection of electronic evidence may result in spoliation if the correct procedures are not only followed, but documented as well. Additionally, in some states, electronic evidence collection may be illegal if performed by a non-licensed individual. By hashing the data before it is captured, and comparing that "digital fingerprint" against the forensic clone of the data, it is possible to tell if even one bit of data has been altered.
Data Culling / Evidence Processing
Different cases require different tools. We understand that if your case involves thousands of email files and their attachments, culling the data may require the use of keyword searches or restricting the searches to certain periods of time. If your case involves data that may have been deleted from a hard drive, data recovery techniques may need to be employed. 24 Seven Discovere can perform any processing your case requires, then output the data to your specifications, whether you're using Summation, Concordance or a proprietary database format. For firms that want to share the data with co-counsel or clients, our Internet Document Repositories are an excellent choice.
