Digital Forensics Support
Digital forensics is the scientific examination and analysis of electronically stored information (ESI) to identify, preserve, analyze, and present digital evidence for litigation, corporate investigations, regulatory matters, and criminal proceedings.
While Inland Discovery specializes in court-defensible digital evidence collections, we understand that successful forensic examinations begin with a properly executed collection. Our role is to acquire and preserve digital evidence so that forensic examiners can perform their analysis using reliable, well-documented evidence.
We support law firms, corporate legal departments, government agencies, and digital forensic laboratories by providing experienced field collection professionals who integrate seamlessly into existing forensic workflows.
Supporting Digital Forensic Examinations
Our collection specialists acquire evidence using industry-standard methodologies while maintaining detailed chain-of-custody documentation and preserving the integrity of the original evidence.
We routinely perform collections involving:
- Desktop and laptop computers
- Mobile devices (iPhone and Android)
- Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace
- Cloud storage platforms
- Email systems
- Network shares and file servers
- External storage devices
- Remote custodians
- Multiple collection sites nationwide
Collected evidence is securely transferred to your designated forensic laboratory or examiner for analysis, reporting, and testimony.
Working Alongside Your Forensic Team
Many digital forensic organizations require experienced collection personnel to perform on-site acquisitions where their clients are located.
Inland Discovery serves as an extension of those organizations by providing trained collection specialists throughout Southern California and deploying nationwide wherever a matter requires.
Our collection professionals follow your established collection protocols, documentation standards, and evidence handling procedures to ensure consistency with your existing forensic workflows.
We do not replace your forensic laboratory. We extend your geographic reach by delivering properly collected and well-documented digital evidence for your internal forensic professionals.
