FAQ
Questions about digital forensics in Dallas, TX.
Can forensic work address suspected data transfer by an employee?
Yes. External device artifacts, file access records, cloud sync activity, browser history, and account logs may help evaluate the allegation.
Why are screenshots not a substitute for forensic preservation?
Screenshots capture only what is visible at one moment. They do not preserve metadata, deleted content, hidden artifacts, account details, or the underlying databases that may need review.
Why can software updates affect forensic evidence?
Operating system updates may alter logs, change application structures, overwrite artifacts, remove temporary files, or affect whether certain forensic data remains available.
Why do forensic investigators emphasize do not use the device?
Every interaction with a device can modify evidence. Opening apps, sending messages, installing software, charging the device, or connecting to networks may alter important artifacts.
Why should a phone not be reset after an incident?
A factory reset can destroy application data, system logs, encryption material, location history, and other artifacts that may matter to the investigation.
Can a forensic review help when the other side already has a report?
Yes. An independent review can examine the source material, methods, assumptions, omissions, and limitations behind an existing forensic report or extraction.
