Navigating Forensics in a Digital World

Digital Forensics

As our world relies more on data-driven applications, our physical and digital environments have become equally important in safeguarding personal information. According to IoT (Internet of Things), 127 devices connect to the internet every second. By 2025, over 7.5 billion devices will store data, proving that this trend will only become more prevalent. Digital forensics will play an urgent role in safeguarding and culling data with this realization.

While data will only continue to grow and imprint our personal lives, sourcing a trusted and expert team to handle an investigation will be vital. IST's Digital Forensics team leverages a big box company's operational outreach with our in-house data center while keeping the number of those handling data few.

Data Intelligence

With the expanse of overwhelming data, offering a one-size-fits-all option shouldn't be a part of your forensic service. Before the planning stage, we consult with the client and custodian to accurately identify the targeted data and develop a specific plan personalized to the client. Our thorough analysis is the heart of our operations. We detect clues using keyword searches and cull any data that responds until the client and custodian are satisfied.

IST's Discover-E umbrella allows greater control over the forensic process by placing project managers on the case from the initial scoping call to the client's end of service. Forensic Examiners can work in tandem with PMs to divide and conquer data in a case, expediting the entire litigation process. IST's Discover-E support provides a one-stop-shop for clients with capabilities to share information faster than big box office eDiscovery vendors.

We prioritize ongoing training to understand various data collection processes proficiently to serve our clients best. Because our specialists possess updated certifications, we have access to new technologies making collection and analysis efficient and completed in the most defensible way possible.

In-House Data Solutions

We do not outsource data to an international team; instead, we keep it all in-house to align with confidentiality and level of security. Transferring data is a quick and seamless process. What IST can do in 24 hours with less handoff, larger vendors will do in 3-4 days. Our quality is unmatched, documented, and formatted for a comprehensive review.

Highlighting IST's formatting capabilities, Forensic Examiner Ryan Horton details, "We generate workable formats that are flexible and dynamic for multiple endpoints for every client. Different clients need data to go to different places. We do our best to collect data and disseminate it in multiple, flexible formats."

Our devoted team of forensic examiners and IST's Discover-E integrations remove the notion that more prominent eDiscovery vendors equal greater control in the forensic collection. Knowing your data is handled by an expert team and stored in-house with less handoff guarantees optimized service while securing the integrity of the digital evidence throughout the process. Our digital imprint is on the rise- ensure you're investing in the most competitive digital forensics team to preserve and source data.
