Engagement letter, chain-of-custody, tamper-evident receipt under privilege.
FFS, file-based, or chip-off image. SHA-256 captured at every checkpoint.
WAL carving, app parsing, SQLCipher decryption, timeline reconstruction.
Methodology, exhibits and Daubert-ready appendix for opposing experts.
Deposition prep, direct and cross examination. Reports engineered to survive cross-examination.
Every step — intake, imaging, examination, reporting — happens inside our Mississauga lab by our own examiners. We don't subcontract any part of the work to other firms or off-site contractors.
Forensic images live on infrastructure that is physically disconnected from the internet. No cloud upload, no remote backup, no third-party processor. The data never leaves the building.
Every engagement is privileged from the first contact. NDA available at intake. We don't publish case studies, client logos, or press quotes — your name does not appear in our marketing.
When the case closes, we destroy our copies on the timeline you specify — 30, 90, or 365 days. You receive a cryptographic erasure attestation confirming the data is gone for good.
Our examiners come from computer-science and engineering backgrounds — then specialize in forensics. The difference shows in the report.
Request our credentials packet →Vendor-neutral digital forensic examiner certification from the International Society of Forensic Computer Examiners. The gold-standard credential for court-defensible examination work.
Our examiners hold degrees in computer science and computer engineering. Understanding filesystems, operating systems, memory and networks at first principles — not just tool output.
Years of professional software engineering experience — Python, C, SQL, mobile platforms, cloud APIs. We write our own tooling when commercial software can’t reach the artifact.
Mobile device forensics, computer forensics, cloud and email forensics, memory forensics, data recovery (HDD / SSD / chip-off), incident response. Hands-on depth across every discipline.
Court-validated commercial and open-source forensic stacks. Plus the ability to build custom parsers when a tool’s output stops where the answer begins.
Every examiner completes annual continuing-education hours across forensic methodology, emerging artifacts and the legal frameworks that govern admissibility.
You don't need a lawyer to start. Individuals, businesses, HR departments, in-house counsel and law firms all engage us directly. If your matter is heading toward litigation, we can route work product through outside counsel to protect privilege.
A senior examiner reviews your intake under privilege and replies with a scoped engagement letter.
Depends entirely on the work. Every engagement starts with a scoped diagnostic, after which we give you a clear timeline before any analysis begins. Data recovery, mobile forensics, email / eDiscovery and incident response each have very different turnaround profiles — we’ll tell you exactly what to expect for your specific matter.
Yes. Every report we produce is built for the courtroom. Forensically sound methodology, bit-for-bit imaging, SHA-256 verification, chain of custody preserved from intake and a reproducibility appendix opposing experts can run themselves.
Our examiners are available to testify when retained and we work alongside counsel to ensure the report meets the evidentiary standards of the jurisdiction.
Our lab is in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. We serve clients worldwide — devices arrive by tracked courier and we travel for on-site acquisition when the matter requires it.
We’ve worked engagements across Canada, the United States and internationally. Wherever the data is, we can get to it.
Yes. Every engagement is privileged. NDAs available at intake. We don't publish case studies, client logos, or press quotes naming clients — ever.
Forensic images are encrypted at rest, stored on air-gapped infrastructure and destroyed on your specified timeline (30 / 90 / 365 days) with cryptographic erasure attestation.
Direct line to the lab. Every message reviewed by a senior examiner under privilege — no triage queue.
Under privilege. A senior examiner will reply during business hours.
