Digital forensics requires that data handling and analysis be performed only by an experienced professional with appropriate credentials. Data must not only be collected and studied but also properly preserved and tracked in order to ensure defensibility. TERIS’ digital forensics experts have the appropriate training, background, and credentials to properly execute any data mining necessary for the discovery process. The appropriate evidence can mean the difference between a settle and a win, and TERIS wants its clients to come out on the winning side.

Forensic specialists from TERIS hold diverse technology backgrounds in addition to legal experience that work together to manage every facet of forensic data recovery in complex litigation cases. Identification, acquisition, preservation, analysis, and documentation of electronically stored data are coordinated for use in all types of proceedings. TERIS increases the efficiency and accuracy of the digital forensic investigation process, without altering or compromising fragile digital information and risking defensibility.

TERIS’ comprehensive litigation support solution uncovers and collects digital evidence, both allocated and unallocated. All data stored on a hard drive is accessible to the digital forensics expert: hidden files, deleted data, overwritten file remnants, even temporary Internet files. Emails, both existing and deleted, can also be collected and analyzed through digital forensics. Password-protected or otherwise encrypted files can be opened and examined for evidence. Even system files and logs can be analyzed to answer the question of intent or determine if an external storage device has been used.
