PROTEGGA works closely with its clients and their counsel to define a list of digital devices required based on the specific needs of the case. Sometimes, it is necessary to obtain copies of numerous devices with the intent of initially searching only a few key sources. PROTEGGA stresses forensic consultation as early as possible in the process to minimize any spoliation, intentional or not, of evidence and to ensure a productive execution of the amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedures.
PROTEGGA utilizes court-accepted forensic tools to collect computer evidence from a variety of sources. For certain devices, PROTEGGA will capture an image of the entire device, whereas on large, multi-user systems, PROTEGGA may only obtain specific folders, such as a user's home directory. Both forms of evidence collection are admissible in court as long as the process is well-documented and proper collection methods are utilized. PROTEGGA always follows industry accepted chain of custody procedures to ensure the integrity of the computer evidence.
By leveraging years of experience in investigations and technology, PROTEGGA knows where to find evidence and will create an initial set of search criteria based upon our understanding of the specific dynamics of the case. PROTEGGA can restore, index, search, filter, consolidate and interpret all forms of computer evidence from virtually any type of media.
PROTEGGA provides its findings in a concise yet detailed report. A complete log of activities and details of the collected devices are provided. In addition, all recovered evidence is included, subject to any confidentiality, privilege agreements, or protection orders. Conclusions are provided to the extent they are sustainable by the recovered computer evidence.
After PROTEGGA has presented its findings, opposing counsel will almost always call the validity of the computer evidence into question. PROTEGGA provides Expert Witness testimony to present the facts, procedures, methods, and to support all conclusions.
NOTE
There is far more to a successful Computer Forensic investigation than the ability to perform a simple data recovery. Although Computer Forensics does rely upon some data recovery techniques and tools, Computer Forensics is more about the investigation, the process, and the analysis of evidence. Comprehensive knowledge of computing systems and the information they contain are crucial.
Useful computer evidence can be found on a variety of sources, including:
- Cell phones
- Personal Digital Assistants (PDA)
- Digital Cameras
- Desktop & Laptop Computers
- Servers (web, email, file, database, and more)
- Network Storage Devices
- External Hard Drives
- Tape Devices
- Specialty Devices ( JAZ, ZIP, REV, LS120, and more)
- Digital Camcorders
