Cyber Forensics

The modern family has 10 electronic devices between them. [When considering the vast digital environment linking employees within a corporate entity, this figure increases exponentially].

Smartphones, tablets, laptops and desktop computers – we live and conduct business in an era of accelerated technological progress causing abrupt changes within our society.

Virtually every crime committed today has some sort of digital element to it. [Cybercrimes are either computer facilitated, or computer based].

BCPS’ Cyber Forensics gathers digital evidence in the pursuit and conviction of these crimes.

People save personal and corporate information such as contacts, photos, calendars, notes, SMS and MMS messages on their mobile devices. Smartphones may additionally contain video, e-mail, web browsing and location histories as well as social media messages and contacts.

These devices have become the preferred digital weapon of choice for criminals to conceive, plan and execute fraud, corruption, theft and even violent crime. It is therefore critical to include mobile forensics in all forensic investigations.

BCPS is a leading authority in Mobile Forensics. We combine traditional investigation techniques with advanced information technology processes to ensure data discovery and data recovery goals are met with precision and competence.

This dynamic field requires the application of both investigation and analysis techniques to gather and preserve evidence in a way that is suitable for presentation in a court of law.

Audio evidence is part of a growing number of media files submitted in court.
