The smartphone is now central to modern life, holding communications, locations, photographs, app data and more. That makes it one of the richest sources of evidence in many investigations, and, because of constant change and strong security, one of the most technically challenging to work with.
Why mobiles are so valuable
- Communications across many apps and channels
- Location history and movement patterns
- Photos, documents and personal data
- A detailed timeline of activity
And so challenging
Mobile platforms change constantly, use strong encryption and vary enormously between devices and versions. Extracting evidence soundly from them requires specialised, up-to-date tools and expertise, and the same rigorous method and chain of custody as any other evidence.
Handled lawfully and properly
Mobile forensics is provided to authorised organisations and carried out within the applicable legal framework, with the care and documentation that keep the resulting evidence sound and defensible.
Capabilities are shared confidentially, with authorised organisations only.
