Social media data is quickly emerging as a rich source of evidence that can be examined for legal purposes.
NSI Global’s Digital Forensic Unit can provide Social Media and Cloud Forensic Services to extract and recover data in the event that it has been deleted from an app, mobile phone, tablet, or computer. We can identify, preserve, and analyse data and prepare reports to a legal standard for use in investigations and court proceedings.
NSI Global uses law-enforcement forensic platforms, including Cellebrite, which can extract and preserve account and app data that consumer recovery tools cannot reach.
Our digital forensic analysts will explore, investigate, and piece together data, including deleted data, from numerous social media and cloud storage mediums.
Several examples are shown below.
We abide by strict methodology that includes legal notices and a chain of custody. Once we obtain permission to the social media and/or cloud accounts, we extract the data in a forensically sound manner. Our digital forensic analysts then analyse the data and prepare reports on our findings.
For legal matters we work alongside your legal advisers. Reports and supporting statements are backed by hash verification so the integrity of the evidence can be checked. Our lead examiner has given expert evidence in Australian courts — see his record.
Where required, link analysis can show connections between accounts, devices and people relevant to the matter, with events presented in chronological order.
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.
