Leveraging digital forensics to advance employee misconduct investigations

By

Employee misconduct can pose serious financial, operational, and reputational risks to enterprise organizations. Bullying, sexual harassment, gambling, accessing inappropriate content, and similar misconduct costs U.S. companies up to $300 billion a year according to Work Shield.

From seizure to verdict: Strengthening prosecutions with clear, admissible digital evidence

By

Videos, images, and audio recordings often provide the most persuasive evidence in criminal cases. Their impact, however, depends on authenticity, integrity, and lawful acquisition. Courts demand proof that digital evidence is reliable, verifiable, and properly documented. When evidence is legally obtained, securely preserved, and accurately authenticated, prosecutors not only ensure admissibility, but simultaneously strengthen their overall case.

Making media authentication easier to understand with automated analysis

Photos, videos, and other media files have become critical to investigations. They establish timelines, corroborate witness statements, and reveal details that would otherwise be overlooked. But media is also one of the easiest forms of evidence to manipulate. Editing tools are widely available and simple to use. Metadata can be easily altered with minimal technical knowledge. Deepfake and AI-generated content continues to evolve, making it harder to distinguish authentic from manipulated media. Attorneys may question whether a file is genuine, and investigators must respond with authoritative answers that can withstand scrutiny.
