Computer Forensics


Our Computer Forensics analysts support clients by collecting and preserving evidence quickly and cost effectively. They collect on site at client locations using our portable forensic workstations or back in our computer lab. Phoenix Data Forensics’ collections stand up in court. Our analysts follow widely accepted forensic best practices and document their work with evidence inventories and chain of custody logs. Our lab is state of the art. Our experts are qualified and able to take a deep dive into the evidence. They also leverage our firm’s foundation in computer and electrical engineering for unusual device or data examination requests. We provide our clients with easy-to-understand findings reports and are prepared to support those findings formally in writing or through testimony.
