Can the evidence you have collected be called into question?

Without the proper collection, processing, and analysis, all your evidence could be worthless. It is acknowledged that nearly all forensic examinations of computer media are different and that each cannot be conducted in the same manner for numerous reasons. However there are three essential requirements for a competent forensic examination. These are:

-Forensically sterile examination media must be used.

-The examination must maintain the integrity of the original media.

-Printouts, copies of data and exhibits resulting from the examination must
be properly marked, controlled, and transmitted.

The computer forensic specialists at Datavic guarantee accuracy of evidence processing results. Through the use of time-tested evidence processing procedures, and through the use of multiple software tools developed by separate and independent developers, we can maintain the sensitivity required to handle and process your information.

Can you be sure that the evidence you have been provided is complete and accurate?

If you have been provided with digital evidence it is essential that you understand what questions to ask and what documentation to look for to ensure that it has been handled properly.

If a non-biased third party has not conducted the examination there is always a chance that key information has been “overlooked”. A confirmation of the original examination can rule out, or bring to light, any bias that may have been demonstrated during the initial investigation.

Obtaining a second opinion can also examine the methods used by the original investigators, to ensure that the integrity of the data has not been compromised.
