Cell Phone Forensics


Cell phones today have become quite sophisticated units. They are no longer used just for making voice calls. Many of todays cell phones are in fact small computers capable of surfing the web, sending and receiving emails, text messages and multi-media messages. They can contain contact lists, pictures, video and a wealth of other information. This holds true for many cell phones such as iPhones, iPads and Android devices. A great deal of data is left on these devices either intentionally or without the knowledge of the user.


Law enforcement officials and legal firms realize the importance of evidence contained in cell phones, and GPS units, and how this evidence can affect the outcome of the trial. Whether it is a criminal case or civil case, the integrity of the firm selected for the cell phone forensic audit is as important as the integrity of the data recovered. More and more cases are being won with the proper submittal of electronic evidence. For this reason it is imperative that the cell phone forensic investigator understand the legal issues of a case.


 

Our cell phone forensic examination can include a logical extraction or a full data retrieval dependent on the cell phone model. We conduct a thorough examination of the data found on the phone's SIM/USIM, the cell phone itself as well as any optional memory cards found on the phone such as MicroSD cards.


Utilizing industry standard software and hardware products like the Cellebrite UFED, Cellebrite Physical Analyzer we are able to retrieve a wealth of information. Our normal operating procedures follow industry standards and are able to be used in legal proceedings in court.
