Sometimes the matter doesn't involve a corporation or a litigation team — it's about your phone, your relationship, your family member who just passed, or a device you suspect has been compromised. We handle private matters with the same forensic rigor as corporate work and with discretion the courts ask for.
Most private engagements are one of these. If yours isn't, ask — we'll tell you up front whether it's something we can help with.
Deleted WhatsApp / Telegram / Signal recovery (where technically possible), photo recovery, contact recovery, browser history reconstruction. iPhone and Android. Free diagnostic before any work.
Forensic scan for known surveillance tools (mSpy, FlexiSpy, Cocospy, Pegasus, Predator). Privacy-preserving — air-gapped analysis bench, no cloud upload, destruction on schedule.
Deleted-message recovery, location-history reconstruction, parental-alienation evidence. We work with your family lawyer, or directly with you under privilege.
Recovery of photos, contacts, messages and account access from a deceased loved one's phone or computer. Often requires probate documentation; we help you assemble what's needed.
For executives, journalists, abuse survivors, or anyone with a credible threat model. Comprehensive scan + hardening guidance.
Preserving evidence on a device before a confrontation. Discreet, legally-sound, available without notifying anyone else.

All private matters are NDA-first. Initial consult is free, by phone or encrypted email. If you want to proceed, we send a one-page engagement letter and intake instructions. Devices arrive by prepaid courier or in-person drop-off (Toronto / Mississauga area). Free diagnostic, fixed-quote recovery, no surprises.
No. Every engagement is NDA-first and privileged where possible. We don't publish case studies, client logos, or anything that could identify you. We don't talk to your family, your partner, your employer, or anyone else without your explicit written direction.
Communications are over encrypted channels (Signal, ProtonMail, or our own secure portal) by your preference.
No. Individuals engage us directly for most private matters. Family law cases sometimes route through your family lawyer; we work either way. If your matter is likely to end up in court, we can suggest whether routing through counsel would help protect privilege.
No data, no charge. Free diagnostic on every recovery intake. If we can't recover what you need, you pay nothing — no diagnostic fee, no return shipping. If we can, the quote we give you after diagnostic is the final price.
Air-gapped analysis bench — no cloud, no telemetry. Forensic images destroyed on your specified timeline (30 / 90 / 365 days) with cryptographic erasure attestation. We've worked matters involving high-profile public figures, journalists, abuse survivors and executives — discretion is the practice, not a marketing claim.

You need authority over it: you own it, you're a joint owner (a shared family device), or you have written consent from the owner. Children's devices: parental authority applies for minors under 16 in most provinces. Deceased person's device: probate documentation or estate-trustee authorization. We help you understand what's required before any work starts.
