WINDOWS FORENSICS
Professional Windows Forensics – Securing and analysing digital evidence to stand up in court
Since its foundation, LanCologne has specialised in professional IT forensics. Our staff have decades of experience in the field of information technology and assist companies, solicitors, private individuals and, on a regular basis, the courts in the technical investigation of complex digital matters.
Our investigations are conducted in accordance with recognised principles of IT forensics. We place particular emphasis on the admissible preservation of digital evidence, an objective approach to our work, and transparent documentation of all stages of the investigation. Where necessary, modern forensic tools are supplemented by manual analysis in order to independently verify technical findings.
TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
Technical Fundamentals
Improper investigations can alter or even destroy digital evidence. For this reason, once the original evidence has been forensically secured, it is not used for content analysis. The investigation is conducted exclusively on the basis of a forensic copy, the consistency of which with the original is documented by cryptographic hash values. This ensures that the original remains untouched and that all investigative steps can be reproduced and verified at any time. This is an essential prerequisite for the traceability of technical findings, particularly in legal proceedings.
OUR APPROACH
This is how your examination will be carried out
A transparent process – from the initial enquiry to the handover of the report.
