    e-Discovery and Forensic Investigation

    Who better to track down encrypted, deleted or incriminating information than a security expert?

    Certainly, the core components of e-Discovery are essential IT skills--knowledge of different operating systems, software and the overall architecture of data systems--but what sets an e-Discovery expert apart from most IT experts is the forensic ability to find information, no matter how a user has tried to hide that information.

    As your e-Discovery expert, I bring to the table a full set of knowledge, experience and certification in forensic investigation, as well as start-of-the-art equipment and techniques. My services include finding and recovering data, no matter the operating system. In fact, a typical forensic discovery takes me beyond the OS, to data that has been deleted from the machine--and recovering the files or essential portions of the files. If the user has taken unusual steps to cover his tracks, I will document this intent.

    I offer confidential and professional solutions for your electronic forensic needs--no matter whether they are legal, business, human resources, or insurance-related. I will partner with you to perform a full forensic examination or a more targeted e-Discovery investigation, and I will work with you to uncover the necessary information in a timely and cost-effective manner.
