Corporate Investigations
Employee Investigations
CYFOR understand the importance of protecting the integrity of your company data. We provide a breadth of specialist digital forensic services designed to reduce business risk, allowing us to forensically recover, analyse and report on multiple forms of electronically stored information.
Our team of highly qualified digital forensic investigators use the latest technology and digital forensic techniques to discover any potential digital evidence. Subsequently, all investigations are supplemented with a detailed, court suitable report which if necessary, can be presented by our experienced Expert Witness trained specialists.
Employee Misconduct Investigations
Employees are often found to misuse their work devices, including personal communications and media access, including pornographic and/or illegal content. Our advanced digital forensics capabilities allow us to forensically acquire data and identify any non-work-related activities, providing a report of findings suitable for use in legal proceedings should it be required.
Owing to our grounding in serious criminal matters, we are well-placed to document any pornographic activity and categorise this appropriately; including the grading of indecent images should it transpire that they are present on a device. We are also able to provide a stream-lined breakdown of internet activity logs, demonstrating whether pages are seemingly accessed manually by a user, or whether they are pop-ups or suggested pages.
