Digital Forensics is a branch of forensic science that encompasses the extraction of data (both deleted and current) found in digital devices (e.g. mobile phones and computers) and the analysis, investigation, and reporting on the analysed data to a legal standard.
Digital Forensic deleted data recovery investigations have a variety of applications, from use in the private sector for personal reasons, to corporate and government investigations for analysis into insurance and workplace fraud, intellectual property theft and espionage, and for legal matters that require evidence for family, civil and criminal proceedings, among others.
Court-Tested in Australia
NSI Global’s digital forensics practice is led by founder Navid Sobbi, whose forensic reports and evidence have been relied on in Australian state and federal courts. In Peek v Wheatley [2025] NSWSC 554 and on appeal in Wheatley v Peek [2025] NSWCA 265, he acted as a joint court-appointed expert to examine an iPhone, was cross-examined, and both judgments recorded that there was no dispute concerning his evidence.
Every NSI Global forensic report sets out the evidence examined, the method used, the limits encountered and the basis for each finding — so the work can be checked by the other side, by a court or by a regulator.
