Digital evidence.
Clear answers.

If you are a defendant in a criminal case, ISS can examine all available digital evidence relevant to your case and within the agreed scope of examination. This may include data from mobile phones, computers, tablets, CCTV systems, communication records, cloud services and electronic documents.

We independently review the digital evidence, technical reports and conclusions of the police or prosecution. We cross-check relevant witness statements and allegations against the available electronic data, looking for technical weaknesses, ambiguities, errors, inconsistencies, omissions and alternative explanations that may be significant to your defence.

Working with your lawyer, we identify the relevant underlying data, forensic copies and extraction files and request that they be made available through lawful channels. We conduct an independent forensic examination, also investigating material that may not have been examined or brought to light in the original analysis and that may assist the defence.

Our findings are presented in a documented report and, where required, through expert evidence in court.

If you are a party to a civil case, ISS can examine the relevant digital evidence and assess whether the electronic data supports the claims made by the parties involved.

The examination may cover emails, messages, electronic documents, business records, data from computers and mobile devices, cloud services, CCTV recordings and other relevant digital evidence.

We cross-check the data against relevant witness statements, claims and technical reports. We examine questions of authenticity, integrity, completeness and chronological consistency, as well as indications of alteration, selective presentation or incorrect interpretation.

Working with your lawyer, we identify the underlying data and forensic copies needed for an independent examination and request that they be made available through lawful channels. We also examine relevant material that may have been overlooked, to clarify the facts of the dispute.

We provide a clear, documented report of our findings and expert evidence where required.

When the police execute a search warrant involving electronic devices or digital data, ISS can provide on-site support from an independent digital forensic expert, in coordination with your lawyer and where our attendance and access are lawfully permitted.

To the extent that the relevant activities are observable or lawfully disclosed to us, we document initial device inspection, live-data collection, search terms and filters where used, copying or extraction methods, device identification and the recording of transfers. We assess the documented procedures against appropriate digital-forensic practices, taking account of the device’s condition and the circumstances. Our review addresses data preservation, examination coverage and the reliability of later findings.

We document our observations and inform your lawyer of matters that may require legal assessment, including proportionality, the scope authorised by the warrant and procedural safeguards. Where required, we prepare a technical note or report for subsequent review.

Our attendance and the scope of our support depend on the applicable legal framework and the lawful arrangements for the particular case.
