A Sensei computer forensics technologist is truly a digital detective, a kind of Sherlock Holmes for the 21st century. Searching for and recovering existing and deleted data on computers, CDs, DVDs, cell phones, MP3 players, and other data storage devices is as much an art as it is a science. It requires a specialized understanding of how data is affected on these devices, going above and beyond what most end-users or IT support personnel know.
Highly certified and experienced
Sensei forensic technologists hold the most prestigious certifications available to private firms – either the EnCE (EnCase Certified Examiner), issued by Guidance Software, and/or the Certified Computer Examiner, (CCE), issued by The International Society of Forensic Computer Examiners (ISFCE). In addition, our technologists have years of experience in the field to guide them in knowing exactly where to look for hidden or deleted evidence.
Professional and meticulous
Just like gathering physical evidence, computer forensics is difficult, painstaking, and careful work. A moment’s inattention to detail and procedure may result in trampling evidence and rendering it inadmissible.
Sensei’s forensic technologists follow the most rigid and forensically sound processes for the collection and acquisition of electronic evidence. The source device or data set is always preserved in its entirety and remains unaltered. Once the evidence is acquired and its integrity verified, it is processed, allowing our professionals to explore the data thoroughly and efficiently.
Knowledgeable and armed with the latest acquisition tools
Even with the source material properly prepared, a computer forensic technologist must know what to look for, where to find it, and what tools will work best for any given situation. Sensei technologists have a wide range of specialized computer forensic tools and techniques on hand to locate pertinent information, depending on the hardware, operating system, applications, and file formats used by the source device.
If data is still present, even in a fragmented form, there is no limit as to what Sensei’s computer forensic technologists can find. Whether it’s recovering e-mails or files that had been deleted, determining how certain data entered or exited a computer, or identifying the last time a file was opened or modified, electronic evidence can be used in a variety of civil and criminal cases.
