From data to evidence

We offer comprehensive forensic services across centralised computing resources and end-user devices and across Windows, Mac or Linux based systems, providing digital information back to you quickly and in line with agreed methodologies and processes.

Compared to mobile devices, computers and tablets can store a greater amount of data; and, as devices become increasingly linked to servers and stored in the cloud, the amount of data that has to be sifted through increases exponentially.

In a world of terabytes of data, it can often seem like looking for a needle in a haystack: the volume of the raw data can be overwhelming, but CCL's computer forensics service provides you with the information in a readily understandable format.

Frequently asked questions

What are the services provided for computer forensics?

Computer forensic services are crucial for delving deep into digital devices, specifically a computer, to help the client uncover what they’re looking for.

At CCL, we specialise in data recovery, analysis, and presentation from computers and tablets. Whether you're dealing with corporate espionage, legal disputes, or compliance checks, our experts ensure that every shred of digital information is meticulously examined to support your need.

What can computer forensics do?

Computer forensics services can be a game-changer in understanding the actions and intentions behind digital interactions. It involves extracting and analysing data from electronic devices to uncover a detailed record of communications, transactions, and activities.

This can be critical in legal contexts, helping to resolve cases of fraud, intellectual property theft, or even personal disputes by providing concrete digital evidence.

How long does computer forensics take?

The duration of a computer forensic investigation can vary widely depending on the complexity and the amount of data involved.

At CCL, we strive to be as efficient as possible, typically initiating preliminary assessments quickly and progressing to more detailed analyses as required by the specifics of the situation. We aim to balance thoroughness with efficiency, ensuring timely results without compromising detail or accuracy.

What is the difference between cyber forensics and computer forensics?

Cyber forensics and computer forensics are closely related but focus on different aspects of digital investigations.

Cyber forensics is primarily concerned with recovering data related to cybercrimes, such as hacking or malware attacks, often involving network analysis and internet-based data. Whereas computer forensics tends to be broader, covering data recovery from computer systems, including hard drives and other storage devices, often for legal purposes like fraud investigations or litigation support.

What specific forensic techniques are used to handle encrypted or damaged devices?

CCL uses advanced forensic techniques to tackle encrypted or damaged devices. When dealing with encryption, the computer forensics team employs a variety of tools and methods (including CCL’s own unique R&D developed tools) to attempt decryption, depending on the encryption type and scenario.

How does CCL ensure the legal admissibility of the digital evidence they gather?

CCL places great emphasis on the legal admissibility of the evidence we collect. Our computer forensics experts adhere strictly to internationally recognised ISO 17025 standards and best practices throughout the digital forensic process.

This includes maintaining a clear chain of custody, using forensically sound methods for data recovery, and ensuring all investigative actions are thoroughly documented. These meticulous practices help to ensure that the evidence can withstand legal scrutiny in various jurisdictions.

Can CCL provide examples of previous cases or success stories where their digital forensics services made a significant impact?

While CCL typically maintains confidentiality about specific cases due to privacy and legal reasons, you can see how our computer forensics services have significantly impacted various scenarios including corporate litigation, intellectual property theft cases, and criminal investigations in our case studies section.

Our expertise in extracting and analysing digital data has often been pivotal in resolving complex cases, providing clear and actionable insights that have aided clients across multiple sectors. For specific examples, potential clients are encouraged to contact CCL directly to discuss how their services might apply to particular needs or challenges.
