IT Forensic
Our IT-Forensic Services cover different scopes with only one mission: “Looking for the needle in the haystack.”
During the last years the data volume within enterprises has increased rapidly. Handling this vast amount of data is only possible with sophisticated methods and analysis.
The whole communication – even written correspondence – is mainly conducted and prepared with computers and the preparation leaves its traces.
IT-Forensic covers all necessary actions to back up, recover, edit and analyse electronic data. Therefore we distinguish between two different kinds of data:
1. Unstructured data like e-mails, documents, tables, presentations, HTML-Sites.
2. Structured data such as databases, financial records, parts lists.
The approaches in analysing these two different types of mass data are significantly different.
eForensic
Unstructured data is analysed by us through a combination of different tools and softwares which we put together under the name “eForensic”. The following steps will be performed throughout an investigation but they also work as stand-alone steps (e.g. data recovery):
- Data imaging of the relevant data sources like harddisks, CD/DVD, USB-devices or floppy discs performed with special forensic software
- Scanning and character recognition of hard copies
- Editing and data recovery
- Setting up a database which includes a complete index, containing electronic and scanned data
- Analysis with individual search items and key words
eFinance
Our self-developed software tool enables us to analyse financial data from nearly every common book keeping system. This analysis is database and platform independent. A precise and effective analysis of huge data stocks (> 1 million records) for irregularities and patterns is possible within a short time. Our investigation steps are as follows:
- Extracting the data from the accounting software databases
- Editing the data on our own secure servers
- Reassessing the data to determine false and redundant data
- Analyzing the data according to forensic criteria
Beside the fully automated search routines these analyses require manual editing which can only be performed with solid criminal expert knowledge.
eMonitoring
Is your company data safe? Most companies have excellent firewalls and good protection against data theft from external. But what happens when important and confidential data is stolen by your own employees?
We offer solutions to make your company data safe externally and internally. Your sensitive data can be marked and traced through your whole company network. Surveillance of protected directories and servers is performed with data signatures (hash-values) which help to identify single data clearly. This enables us to trace data which is leaving the protected network area. Therefore we would be pleased to go into greater detail via a personal meeting. Please do not hesitate to contact us to obtain more information about your personal risk management solution.
