Digital Forensics
Clients typically contact us following a data loss, device compromise, internal incident, or when digital evidence may be required to support legal action, dispute resolution, or regulatory review. In many cases, timing, accuracy, and evidential integrity are critical.
Cyber Defence, Evaluation & Consultancy Ltd (CDEC) provides digital forensics and data recovery services for law firms, private clients, and organisations operating in sensitive or high-risk environments where the preservation, analysis, and interpretation of digital evidence must withstand scrutiny.
Our digital forensics work focuses on the lawful acquisition, examination, and analysis of digital devices and data to establish what occurred, when it occurred, and what evidence may be relied upon. This includes mobile phones, computers, removable media, and other digital storage where data loss, unauthorised access, or misuse is suspected.
We are typically instructed by:
Law firms requiring independent forensic support for litigation or dispute matters
Organisations responding to internal incidents, data loss, or suspected misuse
Private clients concerned about compromised devices, deleted data, or unauthorised access
All examinations are conducted using forensically sound methodologies designed to preserve integrity and maintain clear audit trails. Where recovery is possible, data is extracted and validated without altering the original source, ensuring findings can be relied upon for legal or investigative purposes.
Unlike ad-hoc data recovery or IT support services, our approach is investigation-led and evidence-focused. We prioritise clarity, defensibility, and relevance, ensuring clients understand what data exists, how it was obtained, and what it demonstrates.
Digital forensics engagements often form part of wider investigations, supporting OSINT enquiries, physical security reviews, or incident response work where digital activity intersects with real-world risk.
Findings are reported clearly and confidentially, with plain-English explanations of what was recovered or identified, why it matters, and what next steps are available.
