When evidence matters.
We find it.
Cyber incident, internal investigation, fraud or legal dispute. Digital Forensics delivers objective, documented and legally admissible evidence from all digital sources.
What is Digital Forensics?
Digital Forensics is the systematic collection, preservation, analysis and reporting of digital evidence. The DEFION team masters the complete forensic chain: from evidence preservation to analysis and reporting. Chain-of-custody procedures ensure that evidence is legally admissible. Every step is documented: what data was preserved, how, when and by whom.
Evidence that holds up
The team masters the complete forensic chain: from evidence preservation to analysis and reporting. Chain-of-custody procedures ensure that evidence is legally admissible. Every step is documented: what data was preserved, how, when and by whom.
Analysis covers all digital sources: workstations, servers, mobile devices, cloud accounts, email, network traffic and more. The team reconstructs what happened based on digital traces: files, logs, metadata, deleted data and communications.
The report is clear and structured, usable for both technical teams and legal advisers and regulators.
Evidence mishandled is evidence lost
-
Digital evidence is fragile and easily contaminated
Rebooting a system, running a scan or even accessing files can alter or destroy digital evidence. Without proper forensic acquisition, evidence may become inadmissible or simply lost.
-
Without chain-of-custody, courts reject evidence
Legal proceedings require a documented chain of custody for digital evidence. Without it, even genuine evidence may be challenged or excluded. Professional forensic acquisition prevents this.
-
Insurers require forensic investigation for claims
Cyber insurers typically require a forensic investigation report before processing claims. Without professional forensics, claim processing can be delayed or denied.
