Digital Forensics
Digital forensics is the science of extracting electronic information, both visible and hidden, from electronic devices. These devices include computers, laptops, phones, tablets, surveillance cameras, servers, and more. With electronic devices being so prevalent in both work and home environments, it’s no surprise that much of today’s evidence is found on them.
The role of digital forensics in investigations is expanding rapidly. Traditional investigative methods, like following a paper trail, are becoming less effective. Digital evidence—including emails, activity logs, correspondence, user documents, internet activity, and other electronic files—has become essential in internal investigations, civil matters, and criminal cases, even when attempts have been made to delete or hide the data.
ArcherHall’s digital forensic services are designed to thoroughly analyze electronic evidence and recover data, even if it has been deleted. Our experts are skilled in identifying and understanding the artifacts and trace evidence found on electronic devices, which can be critical in both court cases and non-litigation related investigations. Rely on ArcherHall for comprehensive digital forensic examination services for any digital device.

Some of the specific methodologies that we embrace:
- U.S. Department of Justice Guidelines on the Searching and Seizure of Electronic Evidence

ArcherHall’s digital forensic services start by identifying relevant electronic data sources, from which we then create forensic clones. These clones, also known as bit-for-bit or byte-for-byte images, mirror images, or exact copies, are precise duplicates of the original data. Our process ensures that the clone is an exact replica of the source drive and includes a method for authenticating the evidence later in the investigation.
