Computer Forensics

 

If you think the trail has gone cold on an investigation, think again. Kroll can uncover seemingly lost or hidden files, break encrypted and password-protected files, and recreate events from electronic footprints, using state of the art forensic laboratories.


How We Investigate

Corporate investigations typically require some analysis of computer files. Cases are widely reported in which an email message, a Word document or spreadsheets contain some information that broke a case wide open.

As the world’s leading data recovery and data retrieval firm, Kroll computer forensic technicians are capable of examining information systems and hard drives of any age and manufacture.

When necessary, Kroll’s data collection experts work on-site to make forensic copies of data for evaluation, even in the middle of the night so that users of machines are unaware of forensic work or the imaging of information.

In the course of analyzing client data, Kroll’s computer forensics specialists can determine whether computer evidence was altered, damaged or removed. We can break password-protected or encrypted files and locate hidden or hard-to-find data on computer hard drives and other technology systems—even when it appears the data has been erased or lost. Our professionals are also able to put together a timeline showing when the different steps took place. When wrongdoing has occurred, Kroll is able to recreate time critical computer-related events and present computer forensics findings as evidence in court.


The Kroll Advantage

Kroll’s engineers and technicians have in-depth knowledge of both the technical and legal issues associated with computer forensics investigations. Our practitioners come from law enforcement and technical backgrounds, and they have testified on numerous occasions as to the processes they employed and their findings, always ensuring that chain of custody has been maintained and that the integrity of data has been preserved.
