Forensic Data Recovery Services - Georgia

Whether you are a plaintiff or a defendant, or if you wish to take precautionary steps - a forensic data recovery company can enable you to capture digital evidence correctly, can provide valuable expert testimony, and can advise regarding the strength of arguments relying on digital evidence.

Digital evidence is of a special quality - while it is detailed and tampering may be obvious, it is also ephemeral, and tampering may go undetected. Dates and other "meta-data" evidence relied upon to make or break a legal argument may not have the significance attached by lay people.

The focus of Transparen's team is on building a cohesive story founded on the evidence, and on providing an objective assessment regarding the risks that the story may prove incorrect. Other key components of the forensic service include:

  • Taking an evidentiary backup of hard drives for pending or ongoing litigation
  • Swearing affidavits regarding the backup, and providing chain-of-custody certificates
  • Working with high-end Linux or UNIX servers where it is critical that either
    • the servers not be taken down, or
    • that downtime be kept minimal, or at least
    • that work be performed quickly, on-site, in a supervised manner
  • Quickly taking evidentiary copies of multiple drives, such as may be required to fulfil an Anton Pillar order gathering evidence of copies of copyrighted software existant on computers as of a specific date.
  • Taking the stand as expert witnesses to the quality of digital evidence obtained, possible tampering, and other features of the evidence.
  • Repair of defective hardware as needed.

Taking copies of drives where the drives are detached from the original computers can be performed quickly and accurately, regardless of whether the computer operates under Windows, Linux or UNIX. However, in the case of certain UNIX operating systems, it is also important to store the drive parameters.

There are many similar details surrounding the proper gathering of digital evidence, and a qualified technician from Transparen can help your company sort through these details and make sense of what the digital evidence is saying.
