EnglishWhat digital forensics services does Disklabs provide for criminal and civil cases?
Updated
Disklabs provides digital forensics for criminal and civil investigations, covering computer and mobile phone forensics, cell site/data analysis, sat nav and CCTV forensics, data collection and eDiscovery/disclosure support, and specialist techniques such as chip-off, ISP and board-level extraction. It also handles Legal Aid Agency (LAA) funded cases and forensic data recovery from storage devices, tapes, RAID and servers. Use this page to check whether your case type and device fall within those areas before contacting the team.
Core forensic investigation services
Disklabs describes its digital forensics work as the investigation, interpretation and analysis of data held on digital devices in both criminal and civil matters. The published service areas are:
- Computer forensics — examination of computers and related digital devices.
- Mobile phone forensics — data extraction and analysis from mobile handsets.
- Cell site / data analysis — analysis of cell site and related data.
- Sat nav forensics — examination of satellite navigation devices.
- CCTV forensics — analysis of CCTV footage and systems.
These are listed as separate services on the site, so you can match your case to the device type involved rather than assuming one general service covers everything.
Data collection, eDiscovery and disclosure
Disklabs offers data collection and eDiscovery, describing efficient data collection as "the cornerstone of eDiscovery and Disclosure." This is relevant where a case requires gathering electronic material from devices or systems and preparing it for disclosure rather than only examining a single device.
Specialist forensic techniques
For devices that standard forensic tools cannot access, Disklabs lists specialist forensic services including:
- Chip off — accessing data directly from memory chips.
- ISP — in-system programming techniques.
- Board-level electronic techniques.
These are positioned as advanced capabilities for cases where ordinary extraction methods fail, for example a damaged or locked device that standard tools cannot read.
Legal Aid Agency funded cases
Disklabs states its experts are ready to assist with all LAA funded cases. If your matter is legally aided, this is the relevant entry point; the site does not publish eligibility rules or rates, so confirm scope and funding arrangements directly with the team.
Forensic data recovery
Separate from investigation work, Disklabs provides forensic data recovery from all storage devices, tapes, all types of RAID and servers. This matters when the evidential material is on failed or damaged media and recovery must precede analysis.
