Early Data Assessment (Early Case Assessment) Launch

PROTEGGA LLC, the leading provider of Computer Forensics and e-Discovery Services in Texas, is excited to announce the addition of Venio FPR™ Early Case Assessment (Early Data Assessment) and e-Review to its extensive suite of Computer Forensics and e-Discovery tools.

Cost savings start in the identification, preservation, and collection stages of e-Discovery with Protegga, but the majority of cost savings is in the reduction of the reviewable dataset. Protegga excels here going far beyond simple deNISTing and deDuplication. With decades of experience, Protegga’s Litigation Support Managers know how to pre-filter your datasets to get the greatest possible reduction without risking the loss of relevant information. The addition of Venio FPR™ further reduces the review time needed prior to production though the use of privilege alerts, visual analytics, versatile searching algorithms, bulk tagging, broad language support, and over 35 standard reports.

iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch Investigations

PROTEGGA is now the proud owner of the coveted iXAM application. This tool, normally only available to Law Enforcement, allows us to retrieve a true physical image of the iPod Touch, 1st Generation, 2G, and 3G iPhones. Soon, it will support the new iPad and the 3GS and 4G iPhones. By retrieving a true physical image, we are able to recover additional information from the devices, such as recoverable deleted data, current and even partial emails, and spyware. This advancement has proven extremely beneficial to our clients. As this tool is not available to all of our competitors, PROTEGGA now receives iPhones from all over the country when in-depth analysis is crucial.
