The rapid proliferation of technology and the increasing dependence on it for both personal and business use have vastly increased the accessibility and vulnerability of information. Add to this the growing portability of devices and it becomes clear that, more than ever before, companies are susceptible to theft and misuse of digital assets and product information that could compromise the integrity of their enterprise.
T&M’s Data Forensics division assists companies by uncovering violations of employee policies, theft of intellectual property, evidence in claims of harassment and financial fraud. Using the most sophisticated, state-of-the-art technology, data is preserved and discreetly accessed or extracted using stringent best practices and in compliance with domestic and international data and privacy laws. All data is held in the strictest confidence and proven data protection procedures ensure that the data is securely handled. Chain-of-custody logs and court-accepted processes ensure that the data and findings are admissible in court should the information recovered result in litigation.
The Challenges:
- Discreetly discover the facts surrounding suspected dishonesty through electronic investigation
- Extract misused or compromised information stored on computers, servers, cell phones, memory sticks (flash/thumb drives) and company phone systems
- Uncover computer usage and internet activity information
- Access e-mail activity, chat logs and blog postings viewed or created on a particular computer
- Identify inappropriate or illegally stored electronic data on the network, a workstation, a cell phone or a portable device
- Ensure that data is securely handled and admissible as evidence in a court of law
