Corporate Forensic Investigations

Data Preservation & Data Recovery

Data preservation is the first step in any forensic process. It can act two-fold; firstly, it can be used as evidence in court, and secondly, as a sound forensic base for any examination to be taken upon. Our powerful forensic processes include the preservation of both live and deleted data.

CYFOR understand how important your data is and the wider commercial implications of data recovery, including the savings in cost and business disruption. With the use of advanced digital forensic techniques, our experts can extract and preserve data from all types of digital devices whilst preserving the integrity of the data held on the device. The data acquired can then be used evidentially in court, and if required, further analysis can be undertaken on the data, leading to a court-admissible forensic report of findings.

Should analysis not be required, data can also be presented to you in an easily-viewable format or retained for safe-keeping in our audited and accredited secure storage facility.

Common sources of data include:

• Laptops, computers and tablet devices
• Mobile phones
• Server data, hard drives and backup tapes
• Cloud server data (e.g. Office 365 exchange servers)
• External storage devices (USB sticks and external hard drives)
