What is computer forensics?

Computer forensics is the forensic imaging and analysis of laptops, desktops, servers, and storage media to recover files, reconstruct user activity, and preserve findings as court-admissible evidence.

What can you recover from a computer?

Deleted files and documents, email, browsing and search history, USB and external-device activity, file access and modification timelines, login records, and evidence of data exfiltration or wiping.

Can you tell if files were stolen or deleted before I left a job?

Often, yes. Forensic timelines can reveal mass file copying to USB or cloud, use of wiping tools, and the sequence of access and deletion events — common in employee data-theft and IP cases.

Will examination damage the computer or its data?

No. We work from a forensic image — an exact, verified copy — so the original evidence is preserved unaltered.

Every computer keeps a detailed history of what was done on it — even after files are deleted or drives are "cleaned." Computer forensics recovers and documents that history so it can be relied on in court.

What can computer forensics recover?

Deleted files, documents, and email
File access, creation, and modification timelines
USB and external-device connection history (data theft)
Browsing, search, and download history
Evidence of data-wiping tools or anti-forensic activity
Login and account-activity records

A common case: employee data theft

When a departing employee is suspected of taking files, a forensic timeline can show mass copying to USB or cloud storage, the use of deletion or wiping tools, and the exact sequence of events. These findings are frequently decisive in trade-secret and IP-theft matters.

Preserved, not altered

We never work on the original. Forensic imaging produces an exact, cryptographically verified copy; analysis happens on that image while the original evidence stays intact under documented chain of custody.
