Forensic technology and data analytics

The relentless expansion of data volumes and new data sources is both an opportunity and threat to companies. Data is the lifeblood of an organisation and getting data ‘right’ creates valuable business insights that have the power to increase revenue, reduce costs and minimise risk. Conversely, misunderstanding the data landscape, or not handling data properly, can create reputational, legal and regulatory risks to a business.

We help clients prevent, detect and respond to potentially contentious or harmful situations, leveraging our market-leading technologies, AI solutions and analytics.

Our multi-disciplinary team has a proven track record of conducting complex, sensitive, high-profile and data-intensive forensic projects. We look to uncover the facts quickly and cost-efficiently, in a way our clients can trust.

Whether our clients are facing disputes or regulatory enquiries, conducting investigations or internal reviews, we provide the data and technology support to help generate new insights and mitigate risks.

Our global network of over 700 forensic technology specialists is supported by other KPMG professionals experienced in working on wide ranging forensic projects, including fraud, bribery and corruption, accounting misstatements, competition breaches, money laundering and sanctions, unauthorised trading, market abuse and asset tracing.

Incident Response & DSAR/PII

In the event of a cyberattack, organisations often face a surge in Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs) and inquiries from clients, individuals, and other stakeholders seeking clarity on potential exposure of personal, confidential, or commercially sensitive data.

Our e-discovery team supports businesses in identifying and extracting the relevant information efficiently, enabling timely responses and regulatory compliance. While our cyber team assists in strengthening incidence response plans, we focus on locating/extracting compromised data, facilitating notifications to affected parties, and helping organisations mitigate risk associated with sensitive information exposure.

Data & Contract Remediation/Repapering

Intellectual property, contracts and other data remediation is essential for organisations to manage risks, ensure compliance, and maintain operational efficiency, particularly when dealing with large and complex volumes of data. Over time, organisations accumulate outdated, incomplete, or non-compliant data and contracts, which expose them to legal, financial, and regulatory risks.

Our e-discovery tools and techniques streamline the process of identifying, analysing, and remediating this information to reduce exposure and improve overall data hygiene during mergers, acquisitions and restructuring, whilst updating contracts or portfolios, or during data migrations.

Communications Monitoring

In today’s fast paced digital landscape, employee communications often reflect the pulse of an organisation's operations, including potential risks and non-compliant behaviour. In certain circumstances, these communications may be essential to monitor for maintaining compliance, preventing misconduct, and mitigating legal risks.

Our e-discovery tools help organisations to capture, analyse, monitor and investigate communications across various platforms.
