Digital evidence

What computer forensics means for your business

Much of a company’s history now lives in email, cloud storage and business systems. So when something goes wrong, the answers are usually digital, and they need careful handling.

  • Find the facts

    First, we locate the emails, files and records that relate to your question.

  • Recover what was lost

    Next, we work to restore deleted or damaged data from devices, accounts and backups.

  • Preserve the evidence

    We also keep a record of how data was collected and handled, so others can rely on it later.

  • Explain it clearly

    Finally, we report what we found in plain language for you and your advisers.

Metadata in plain English: metadata is the hidden detail stored with a file or email, such as who sent it, when it was created and when it was changed. As a result, it often shows how events unfolded.

What we do

Our computer forensics services in Perth

We combine digital investigation with everyday IT experience. Therefore one team can recover your data, secure your systems and explain the results.

Email recovery

We recover deleted or archived emails and examine metadata such as timestamps. In addition, we can reconstruct email threads to show who said what, and when.

Backup restoration

When data has been lost or corrupted, we restore it from available backups. We also check the restored data so you know what was recovered.

Regaining access to key accounts

For example, during an administration or liquidation, we help you regain access to email, cloud and business accounts and then secure them.

Misconduct and fraud investigations

If you suspect misconduct or fraud, we examine devices and systems for relevant activity. Then we record what we find for your advisers.

Evidence preservation

We take careful copies of devices and accounts before analysis. As a result, the original data stays as it was.

Support for your advisers

We work alongside lawyers, accountants and insolvency practitioners. So our findings fit into the wider work on your matter.

About computer forensics

What is computer forensics?

Computer forensics is the process of finding, recovering and preserving information from computers, email systems and other digital devices. In addition, it involves recording how that information was handled, so others can rely on it later.

Who uses computer forensics services?

Our clients include company administrators, liquidators and receivers, as well as lawyers and business owners. For example, they may need access to a company’s emails, files or accounts, or need to look into suspected misconduct.

Can you recover deleted emails and files?

Often, yes. However, it depends on how the data was stored, how long ago it was deleted and whether backups exist. So we assess the systems first and then explain what is likely to be recoverable.

Will the evidence be usable in legal proceedings?

We handle and document evidence carefully, so your lawyers can assess it. Whether evidence is admissible is a legal question, therefore your lawyer should advise on it for your matter.

How quickly can you start?

It depends on the systems involved and our availability at the time. So contact our team as early as possible, and we will confirm what we can do and when.
