Corporate IP Theft Investigation
The Challenge:
A technology firm gravely suspected a departing software engineer of illicitly stealing proprietary source code and sensitive client lists just before their resignation.
Our Solution:
We performed a meticulous forensic analysis of the employee's work computer and cloud accounts. Our investigation unequivocally uncovered compelling evidence of data transfer to an external USB drive and personal cloud storage mere days prior to their departure.
The Outcome:
Our detailed, forensically sound report provided irrefutable evidence. This enabled the client to swiftly pursue stringent legal action and successfully secure a court injunction, effectively preventing the misuse of their invaluable intellectual property.
Mobile Evidence in a Family Law Case
The Challenge:
A client's legal team critically needed to verify the authenticity and precise timeline of text messages that were absolutely essential to a complex family law dispute, where veracity was paramount.

We conducted a thorough forensic extraction of the mobile device in question, employing industry-leading tools. This process successfully recovered the crucial message data, including messages that had been deleted, along with all associated metadata such as precise timestamps and sender/receiver information.
