Digital evidence can change an investigation.

Questions

Before the engagement begins

What should happen before a device is examined?

Do not browse, delete, reset, update, or experiment with the device. Limit unnecessary handling, document its condition, preserve related credentials and records lawfully, and contact a qualified examiner promptly.

Can deleted data always be recovered?

No. Recovery depends on device type, storage technology, encryption, overwrite activity, operating system behavior, damage, credentials, and other technical conditions. No responsible examiner can promise recovery before examination.

Can digital forensics support litigation?

Yes. Digital-forensic work can support private investigations, corporate and internal matters, civil or criminal litigation, and other matters where electronic evidence may establish facts, reconstruct events, or identify relevant activity.

Answers are in the data.
