A documented technical assessment supported by source material, methodology, contextual findings and clearly expressed uncertainty.
Authenticity cannot always be determined from a copy or short extract. We assess what the available material can support before defining the examination.
Common questions
Often, but not always. A screenshot or forwarded copy carries little information, so we try to obtain the original device, account or file and examine its metadata and surrounding records. The report states clearly what the material can and cannot support.
Sometimes. It depends on the device, the app, any backups and how long ago the messages were deleted. Devices are examined only with proper authority, and findings are documented so they can be relied on in proceedings.
A confidential first conversation
Discuss the incident and the material available before sending devices or files. We will agree appropriate handling and examination.
