Digital Forensics Laboratory
Built for complex investigations and high-volume evidence environments.
What the laboratory does.
A single device examined in depth and a repository of thousands of artifacts require the same discipline but different throughput. Evidence enters through a documented intake process, moves through preservation, acquisition and processing under examiner control, and leaves as a reviewed, referenced set of findings — nothing is examined outside that path.
Evidence intake
Documented receipt, identification and condition recording of every item.
Evidence preservation
Write-protected handling and verified forensic copies.
Evidence cataloguing
Every item registered, labelled and tracked against its case.
Forensic acquisition
Method selected per device, documented per acquisition.
Evidence processing
Indexing, normalisation and structuring for examination.
Automated evidence workflows
Repeatable pipelines for recurring, high-volume workloads.
Multi-device processing
Concurrent processing across large device sets.
Large-scale media processing
Video and image repositories handled as a single set.
Case management
Cases, custodians, items and examiner assignments in one register.
Examiner workflows
Defined stages, ownership and recorded examiner decisions.
Quality control
Peer review and verification before findings are issued.
Reporting
Findings assembled directly from examined evidence.
Evidence review
Structured review with controlled access for stakeholders.
Secure evidence storage
Controlled-access storage with retention and disposal records.
Six stages, documented end to end.
Intake
Evidence is securely received and documented at first contact, establishing the starting record for everything that follows.
Preserve
Evidence integrity is maintained from the moment it is received, with chain of custody documented at each handling point.
Acquire
Relevant digital evidence is forensically acquired using acquisition methods appropriate to the specific device or system.
Process
Acquired evidence is processed and organised into a structure ready for detailed examination.
Analyze
Evidence is correlated across devices, systems and media — connecting individual artifacts into a coherent evidentiary account.
Report
Findings are delivered as clear, defensible investigative reporting, suitable for the audience the matter requires.
Evidence integrity is the first constraint.
Access is restricted, movements are recorded, and every examination is traceable back to the item it came from.
- 01Documented chain of custody from receipt to return
- 02Verified forensic copies; originals preserved
- 03Restricted-access storage for sensitive matters
- 04Recorded examiner actions and decisions
- 05Retention and disposal handled to instruction
