Digital investigations
Digital evidence preservation
Evidence weakens the moment it is altered. Digital records can be deleted or changed, so they must be preserved correctly.
How is it preserved?
The content is recorded as it is: along with the screenshot, a record showing the date, time and link; the email header information; the file in its original form and, where needed, the file's digest value (hash). The record is supported by a minute and a handover document to the person concerned.
Legal value
Admission and weight of digital evidence is for the court's discretion. In important cases, routes such as notarial verification or evidence gathering through the prosecutor are therefore considered with your lawyer.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do you recover deleted data from my device?
That is a separate digital forensics job and no result is guaranteed. We assess options for your own device and refer to a specialist lab if needed.
