Computer and Hard Drive Forensics

Computer and Hard Drive Forensics may be required either to investigate suspicious or illegal user activity on a device (laptop or desktop computer), or when data loss occurs due to physical or logical failures of the hard drive.

NSI Global’s specialist Digital Forensic Unit can perform computer and hard drive forensics where we help recover, identify, preserve, analyse and report on electronically stored information to a legal standard for use in legal proceedings, investigations, and private matters. We use forensic platforms relied on by law enforcement.

Private digital forensic investigations may be conducted to recover data that is either required for record keeping, sentimental, or as evidence for legal matters. Required data may include: files, videos, photographs, device usage, internet browser history, messaging apps, text messages, contracts, wills, and agreements, etc.

Corporate and/or government digital forensic investigations may be conducted to recover evidence pertaining to claims of corporate fraud, financial tampering, employee misconduct, improper use of assets, human resource violations, compliance, data theft, criminal activity, and cybercrime.

We use forensic platforms relied on by law enforcement, capable of recovering deleted evidence that commercial software cannot. Accreditations relevant to government engagements are provided to vetted clients under NDA.

Our lead examiner holds a Bachelor of Laws (Australia) and has given expert evidence in Australian courts. Reports are backed by hash verification so the integrity of the evidence can be checked, and we work alongside your legal advisers. Additionally these reports combined with our capabilities in electronic discovery can demonstrate links between suspected individuals and/or devices.

Engagements are scoped and overseen by founder Navid Sobbi and delivered in-house by NSI Global’s own practitioners — never subcontracted. Confidential consultations can be held at our office in Downtown Dubai, which is protected against electronic eavesdropping, or by client-approved video meeting.

Please note, we adhere to the Privacy Laws and relevant statutes in relation to the access of a device and cloud-based data. We will require the permission of the user/owner of the account to be able to access said data.

NSI Global will not interfere nor accept any job or assignment for a client that is the subject of any law enforcement investigation.
