Once you have identified the key data sources needed to be used as evidence. It is important that steps are taken to preserve this information. This may include steps such as ensuring robust archiving and backup processes are in place, blocking user access to avoid unwanted data changes or deletion or immediate collection of data before changes are able to be made.

Once you have identified the data sources that need to be reviewed, it is important to have this data collected in a forensically safe manner. This will ensure that the structure and properties of the data are maintained, and the chain of custody is traceable and defensible in court.

Now that all your data has been safely collected, we can begin extracting and processing this data into a format that allows us to build a map of the data to further cull the data set. We find only the most relevant information through steps such as; deduplication, targeted date ranges and using keywords and terms to find only what you need.
