Modern life leaves digital traces, and so does almost every incident worth investigating. Digital forensics is the discipline of recovering, preserving and interpreting that evidence, from devices, systems and networks, in a way that is sound, thorough and able to withstand scrutiny.
Where digital evidence lives
- Computers, servers and storage media
- Mobile devices and the data they hold
- Networks, logs and cloud services
- The systems and sensors around an incident
Sound method is everything
The value of digital evidence depends entirely on how it is handled. Recovered carelessly, it can be altered, challenged or dismissed. Forensics applies rigorous, repeatable methods so that findings are reliable and the evidence retains its integrity and weight.
A specialised capability
Digital forensics requires trained specialists, proper tools and disciplined process. Provided to authorised organisations, it supports investigations with findings that are technically sound and defensible.
Capabilities are shared confidentially, with authorised organisations only.
