Mobile Device Forensics

Preserve the Device. Recover the Data. Establish the Facts.

Mobile devices have become central to how people communicate, work, store information and conduct business. As a result, phones and tablets increasingly contain critical evidence in criminal, civil, employment and personal matters.

Datalab provides independent mobile forensic examination and data recovery from smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices. We can preserve and analyse available data including communications, application activity, photographs, location information, account data and other digital artefacts, helping establish what happened and identify evidence that may not be immediately visible to the user.

Our forensic specialists use industry-leading tools and techniques, including technologies used by law enforcement agencies internationally. This enables us to conduct detailed examinations while maintaining the integrity and evidential value of the data recovered.

When Does Mobile Forensics Become Critical?

Mobile devices can contain evidence that is central to establishing what happened, when it happened and who was involved. Datalab can assist where digital evidence from a phone or tablet needs to be independently preserved, recovered or examined, including:

  • Data Theft & Intellectual Property — Where a mobile device may have been used to access, transfer or remove confidential information, company documents or intellectual property.
  • Location & Movement — Where GPS, location services, cell-site information or other mobile data may help establish a person's movements or corroborate or challenge an account of events.
  • Deleted or Missing Data — Where relevant messages, photographs, application data or other information has been deleted from a device and may still be recoverable through forensic examination.
  • Harassment & Malicious Communications — Where messages, calls, images or other communications are relevant to allegations of bullying, harassment or threatening behaviour, independent examination can help establish the available evidence and its context.
  • Disputed Communications & Accounts — Where the authenticity, ownership or origin of messages or other activity is disputed, forensic examination can help identify supporting evidence and test competing explanations.

Act Before the Evidence Changes

If a mobile device may contain evidence relevant to your case, early forensic advice can help preserve what is available and maximise the opportunity for recovery.

Call Datalab on 0800 328 2522 to discuss your circumstances. Our forensic processes are designed to preserve the integrity of the device while recording the examination and identifying available evidence, including deleted content where recovery is possible.

Where circumstances allow, many mobile examinations can be completed within hours, allowing you to progress your investigation without unnecessary delay.
