The technological revolution marches on at a frantic pace, providing the world with an immense availability of resources. The same technological revolution has also brought forth a new breed of investigative and legal challenges.

Computers are now at the core of people's activities and evidence contained in them is being introduced with greater frequency in both civil and criminal judicial proceedings. Questions arise regarding location of evidence stored on digital media, analysis of that evidence and authentication of that evidence in court. The field of COMPUTER FORENSICS seeks to answer these questions and provide experts to introduce this digital evidence in court.

Advanced Data Solutions LLC (ADS) has established a Computer Forensic Department to compliment our premier Data Recovery Services. With over twenty years of data recovery experience, ADS has formally developed proprietary techniques in data discovery, which now serve to benefit the computer forensic field. With the addition of former law enforcement expertise and specialized computer forensic training to our staff, we now provide a much broader range of COMPUTER FORENSIC SERVICES.

Preserving Digital
Evidence

Perhaps one of the most crucial points of your case lies hidden in a computer. The digital evidence collection process allows you to not only locate that key evidence but also maintains the integrity and reliability of that evidence. Timing during this digital evidence collection process is of the essence. Any delay or continuous use of the suspect computer may overwrite data prior to the forensic analysis and result in destruction of critical evidence.

The following are some helpful tips that you can follow in order to help preserve the data for future computer forensic examination:

1. Do not turn on or attempt to examine the suspect computer. This could result in destruction of evidence.

2. Identify all devices that may contain evidence:

  • Workstation Computers
  • Off-Site Computers (Laptops, Notebooks, Home Computers, Senders and Recipients of E-mail, PDA's, etc.)
  • Removable Storage Devices (Zips, Jaz, Orb, Floppy Diskettes, CDs, Sony Memory Sticks, Smart Media, Compact Flash, LS - 120, Optical Disk, SyQuest, Bernouli, Microdrives, Pocketdrives, USB Disk, Firewire Disk, PCMICA.)
  • Network Storage Devices (RAIDs, Servers, Sans, Nas, Spanned, Remote Network Hard Drives, Back-up Tapes, Etc.)

3. Quarantine the above computers:

  • Do not permit anyone to use the computers.
  • Secure all removable media.
  • Turnoff the computers.
  • Disconnect the computers from the network.
  • Consider the need for court orders to preserve and secure the digital evidence on third party computers and storage media.

4. Forensically image all suspect media.
