Electronic evidence gathering can be critical to the success of a civil or criminal case. Outside the courtroom, evidence gathered electronically can assist with, among other things, investigation of fraud, harassment, discrimination, employee dismissal cases and misappropriation of intellectual property.
Digital investigations include the acquisition, preservation and analysis of electronic data in a manner that ensures its admissibility as evidence in a court of law.
Quick, reliable and efficient retrieval and analysis of electronic evidence is standard protocol for KPMG Ireland’s team of computer forensic specialists.
The highly complex nature of electronic evidence recovery requires the unique expertise of Forensic Technology professionals with extensive forensic investigation experience.
Our Forensic Technology team has a broad spectrum of experience including Encase certified, graduate qualified and industry IT specialists. We operate in accordance with the ACPO Guidelines for Electronic Evidence (on which Garda Siochana IT forensic standards are also based).
The team interrogates various data sources to determine and prove a course of events by building a timeline of activity across single or multiple computer systems.
The types of data sources which can be interrogated include desktops, laptops, servers, portable media, and mobile devices (such as iPads, smartphones etc.). The team is also familiar with overcoming data encryption and the technical challenges posed by it.
Throughout each investigation our trained staff will maintain detailed notes and prepare reports, witness statements or affidavits to support the work undertaken. All such work is undertaken to a standard which is applicable to court proceedings.
If you have any questions about our digital investigation service, please contact our team. We'd be delighted to hear from you.
