You may be wondering "How does digital forensics work?", so the digital forensics services we offer include:
Bug Sweeping
If you believe that your home, office or vehicle has been planted with covert cameras or listening devices, our digital forensic investigator is available to attend the location and conduct Technical Surveillance Counter Measures (TSCM). At your location, we will carry out a bug sweep which consists of our digital forensics expert using specialised equipment to identify unusual frequencies. We will also conduct a manual search in areas and appliances that are common locations of bugs. Once any devices are identified, we will inspect them and explain to you what each device is capable of and how it is being used to spy on you. The devices will then be handed over to you.
PC/Email Forensics
If you have noticed unusual activity on your PC or laptop and are concerned that someone has hacked into your device, our IT forensics team are on hand to help. Depending on the situation, either we will come to you or your device will need to be sent to us to conduct forensic analysis. PC/Email forensics is one of our most technical digital forensic investigations and our team will use state of the art software and manual practices to identify where the hacking has originated and how it has happened. Our private investigators will also advise you on how to protect your PC or laptop from being hacked in the future.
Tracing Phone Numbers
If you need to identify the owner of a phone number and you are unsure of who it belongs to, our private detectives are able to conduct a reverse phone number search for you. This type of digital investigation will involve our digital forensic investigator using our private databases to establish links from the phone number. Once a preliminary link has been found, we can then conduct further manual investigations to attempt to establish information including a full name, date of birth, address and potentially more.
Recovering Deleted Text Messages
If you have lost important information from your phone such as text messages or emails, our digital forensics team may be able to retrieve this missing information. To recover deleted text messages, our PI agency will utilise specialist software in an attempt to roll back your device and identify deleted information that appears in your device's digital footprint. Our digital forensic investigators may also be able to identify other missing information such as photos and videos, so if you are unsure if we are able to help, please call us and we will advise you.
Video Investigation Services
If you have a video that requires enhancement of the quality, or if someone has posted a video of you online, our investigators can help you. A video investigation is one of the digital forensics services that we provide. We can either use specialist software to clean up video and audio, or we can look into the digital footprint of a video to attempt to find the person who originally uploaded it to the internet. Our digital forensics investigators will then carry out manual investigations to identify further information related to the individual.
