Employee departure: leveraging digital forensics for complete, defensible collections
During an employee departure from an organization, whether through resignation, termination, or other separation, the stakes are high. Without a well-planned approach to data preservation and review, businesses face risks ranging from litigation and regulatory penalties to loss of intellectual property (IP) and exposure of sensitive data.
How to execute defensible, comprehensive legal holds with digital forensics
When business data is distributed across cloud platforms, remote endpoints, mobile devices, and virtual systems, organizations face complex challenges responding to litigation or regulatory events, such as legal holds for eDiscovery investigations. Legal teams must not only identify and preserve electronically stored information (ESI) but also ensure the authenticity, integrity, and defensibility of the evidence collected.
How to support early case assessment in eDiscovery with digital forensics
Early case assessment (ECA) is a critical first step in the eDiscovery process, one that directly influences cost, efficiency, and legal strategy. By conducting effective scoping at the outset, identifying which custodians, data sources, and timeframes are most relevant, organizations can reduce the volume of data collected, clarify legal exposure, and make informed decisions about whether to settle, negotiate, or proceed with litigation.

The fine balance: How I learned to stop worrying and love the cloud
Too often, devices sit for weeks while the balance between thorough, defensible work and timely insight gets lost. When I was part of the West Virginia State Police and ICAC Task Force, I had to rethink how to strike that balance.
Closing the gap: How digital forensics and intelligence can work smarter together
In today’s investigations, one thing is certain, data is everywhere. Every seized phone, laptop, or cloud account holds a potential goldmine of information. While digital forensics teams work tirelessly to extract and analyse that data for court, intelligence units are often working just a few doors away, building operational pictures and identifying threats. The problem? … Continued
