When is a Digital Forensic Expert Required?

If we are the victim of a traditional crime, burglary, robbery etc, the location where the crime was committed would be considered the crime scene. We all know that when a crime is perpetrated, the criminal leaves traces of themselves at the scene. In order to protect the integrity of this type of evidence, it has to be gathered in a forensically sound manner - the original evidence must not be altered. A Scenes of Crime Officer (SOCO) would be tasked to the scene. The SOCO is trained to gather evidence forensically, examine it and thereafter produce the evidence in a court of law.

A similar approach is taken when a criminal uses digital media such as a computer, mobile telephone etc to commit or facilitate a crime. In this case the digital media becomes the crime scene - it is a digital crime scene. The same circumstances apply to the digital crime scene - the criminal leaves traces of their activity on the computer. So who do you call when you need someone to examine the digital crime scene? - A Computer Forensics expert. This is where we come in; we can acquire ( Acquisition of Evidence...Read more) and examine any form of digital media in a forensically sound manner, thereby preserving the integrity of the original evidence.

What are the dangers of not using a Computer Forensics expert?
As soon as a Computer is switched on, the Operating System accesses a number of files, which causes the dates and times associated with these files to be modified. Whilst these changes may appear to be very minor, there is a real danger that they could call into question the integrity of the digital evidence which may ultimately, affect the outcome of your investigation.

You should always seek the expertise of a qualified Computer Forensic expert to investigate a Digital Crime Scene. We will tell you exactly what has or has not happened and provide an expert witness report to a standard acceptable in court.
