Mobile phones

Mobile phones, their associated SIM cards and memory cards can be downloaded and analysed for communication data records and stored media files, both live (currently available to the user) and deleted (no longer viewable on the device). The use of multiple systems ensures the most comprehensive data recovery effort.

Computer products

The computer products offered by the unit range from data recovery of live and deleted information, collated for viewing by the customer, to in-depth data movement and timeline analysis. Examinations may be targeted to check for specific information, track the origin of derived data and determine file associated meta-data; tailored to the customers’ requirements.
