Digital Forensics

We conduct post-incident digital forensic investigations to rebuild your business confidence.

Understanding Digital Forensics

Digital Forensics is the discipline of recovering and investigating material found in digital devices, typically in relation to cyber crime. Data may need to be recovered from a broad spectrum of devices in the event of a security incident, so you will need experts on your side to identify, preserve and analyse data to keep your business moving.

Digital forensics specialists are also required to present facts and opinions in a tailored report, often fulfilling all the necessary requirements for admissible evidence for legal or disciplinary proceedings. Reports should be presented in a clear, concise and relevant format.

At 4Secure, we follow guidelines set out by the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), which includes four key principles for handling digital evidence:

A

Principle 1

No action taken by law enforcement agencies or their agents, should change data held on a computer or storage media, which may subsequently be relied upon in court.

A

Principle 2

In exceptional circumstances, where a person finds it necessary to access original data held on a computer or on storage media, that person must be competent to do so and be able to give evidence explaining the relevance and the implications of their actions.

A

Principle 3

An audit trail or other record of all processes applied to computer based electronic evidence should be created and preserved. An independent third party should be able to examine those processes and achieve the same result.

A

Principle 4

The person in charge of the investigation (the case officer) has overall responsibility for ensuring that the law and these principles are adhered to.

When are Digital Forensics required?

Digital electronics or digital (electronic) circuits are electronics that operate on digital signals. In contrast, analog circuits manipulate analog signals whose performance is more subject to manufacturing tolerance, signal attenuation and noise.

Evidence obtained from digital platforms is an essential ingredient of almost every investigation whether criminal, civil or even HR. Getting it right first time, every time by experienced well equipped personnel is core to 4Secure’s approach.

Digital forensics isn’t just about solving crimes and repairing damage, it is also focused on building a credible case file that’s backed-up by evidence and logical argument. Consider this the ‘Who, What, Where, When and Why’ of a cyber crime investigation. For example, a case file may be required to:

A

Provide a basis for interaction with law enforcement and legal bodies.

A

Report back to a regulatory body.

A

Support an insurance claim.

A

Justify employee disciplinary action.

A

To provide essential knowledge to deter similar crimes or provide a ‘road map’ in the event of future cyber crime scenarios.
