We Don't Let the Digital Trail Go Cold

In today’s digitized world, evidence is rarely preserved on paper. The good news is that electronic data, which can be from any digital asset or data storing entity, often leaves a deeper trail than paper.

Because so many business records and other types of information that may become evidence are stored digitally, the foundation of every case is the proper collection of electronically stored information (ESI). At TCDI, we know precisely how to discover and collect digital evidence.

Our dedicated team of experts brings a hands-on approach to our state-of-the-art forensic technology and methodologies, to collect evidence in a defensible manner, to provide you with an unwavering feeling of certainty and safety.

Digital forensics and data recovery are a crucial part of modern litigation matters and discovery. No matter where the critical data is located-cell phone, social media, laptop, server or in the cloud—our digital forensics experts can collect it using best practices and the strictest forensic protocols. Our certified forensic data specialists are trained to collect electronic evidence following the strictest digital forensics methodologies and procedures. Our team members are highly certified and have the most respected reputations in the industry.

In fact, our security experts specialize in forensic data discovery and will work alongside you to strategically and efficiently analyze, collect and investigate the full spectrum of today’s data sources. We’re experts at finding and following digital footprints and digital information that has been hidden or deleted, such as emails, phone logs, texts, chats, and more.

TCDI’s collection capabilities encompass the full range of data, including desktop computers, servers, databases and other devices such as flash drives, phones, websites, network shares, and cloud based platforms. TCDI can also conduct searches of computing systems across a network by file name, keywords, deleted files, date, path, security permissions, file system type, file signature, and many other metadata fields. We will make sure that your evidence is preserved and documented following all relevant federal guidelines, so your digital evidence will be admissible in a court of law.
