Preserve the Evidence. Examine the Data. Establish the Facts.

When Do You Need Computer Forensics?

Digital evidence can become critical when there is a dispute, suspected misconduct or a requirement to establish exactly what happened. Datalab provides independent forensic investigation across a range of circumstances, including:

• Legal & Regulatory Requirements — Where electronic evidence must be preserved, examined or disclosed as part of litigation, regulatory proceedings or legal instruction. This may include emails, messaging history, documents, system activity and other digital records.
• Intellectual Property & Data Theft — Where a current or departing employee is suspected of taking confidential information, customer data, intellectual property or business records, particularly where there is concern that information has been transferred to a competitor.
• Employee Misconduct & System Misuse — Where company computers, phones or accounts may have been used inappropriately, to compete against the business, access unauthorised information, or engage in conduct that requires investigation.
• Personal & Relationship Matters — Where digital evidence may be relevant to suspected infidelity, inappropriate communications or other disputed activity, and an independent forensic examination is required to establish the available facts.

In each case, our role is to preserve the available evidence, establish what can be reliably determined from the data, and provide an independent forensic record of our findings.
