Computer Forensics

Some investigations involve obtaining computer-related evidence, and that is where Hawk Private Investigations’ computer forensics team steps in.

We utilize the experts at Forensic Strategy Services (FSS), who, over the past decade, have assisted companies such as IBM, Six Flags, LA Fitness, Strafford Publications, Glover Capital, Phillips Hitchner Group, and Bellsouth with their computer-related cases.

Through FSS, we have disassembled and reassembled every type of system including notebooks, computer systems, and electronic data files and formats. Our investigators can determine when data was accessed or destroyed and can often recover evidence that was either intentionally or unintentionally lost, changed, damaged, or deleted. We have special on-site labs for examining and recovering data in a clean and secure environment, which is crucial for the evidence to be admissible in court.

What typically happens when Hawk Private Investigations examines a computer is examined?

Within 10 hours of receiving a computer, we have:

  • Maintained a documented chain of custody
  • Cloned the original hard drive
  • Documented the drive contents with forensics processes
  • Produced a working copy so the initial copy can be locked in a safe
  • Indexed the drive

After we have completed this series of actions, it is usually apparent if the basics of what you are looking for exist on the hard drive.

Properly documented computer evidence can provide the "smoking gun" in many cases.
It is crucial to make sure that the chain of custody is fully documented and that a non-biased third party is involved if there is a possibility of the case going to court.
