Our ISO 17025 accredited digital forensic investigations service follows a meticulous planning and forensic strategy process designed to meet judicial and regulatory requirements:
1. Initial Assessment: We start with a thorough assessment to understand the specific requirements of the case and the nature of the digital evidence involved.
2. Strategy Formulation: Based on the initial assessment, a detailed forensic strategy is formulated, outlining the key objectives, scope of analysis, and the specific methodologies to be employed.
3. Evidence Collection: Procedures for secure and forensically sound evidence collection are implemented, ensuring the integrity and chain of custody of the data.
4. Analytical Procedures: Detailed, standardised analytical procedures are followed to examine the digital evidence, utilising state-of-the-art technology and techniques as per ISO 17025 standards.
5. Quality Control: Throughout the process, stringent quality control measures are in place to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the forensic results.
6. Reporting: Comprehensive, traceable, and clear forensic reports are prepared, providing detailed findings and supporting documentation for legal proceedings.
This structured approach ensures that our digital forensic investigations are thorough, defensible, and aligned with the highest standards of forensic science. - Planning service works with specific services

Fighting climate change
We are dedicated to implementing environmentally friendly practices that contribute to a greener future. To achieve this, we have developed a comprehensive strategy that focuses on encouraging sustainable modes of transport and other initiatives. We prioritise the use of public transportation for commuting purposes. Our employees are encouraged to utilise buses, trains, trams, and other forms of public transport whenever possible. In addition to public transport, we actively promote alternative modes of transportation, such as cycling and walking to local staff and operate a cycle to work scheme with secure parking. To further reduce the environmental impact of our travel, we actively promote video conferencing and virtual meetings as alternatives to business travel whenever feasible. By leveraging technology, we aim to minimise unnecessary air and road travel, thereby reducing CO2 emissions associated with transportation. Through these initiatives, we are committed to promoting sustainable transport and travel, playing our part in reducing the impact of CO2 emissions. With the current carbon neutral offset program with help from Carbon Neutral Britain, we are a carbon neutral business.Tackling economic inequality
