What is meant by Computer Forensics?
Computer forensics is the recognised process of identifying, extracting and evaluating evidence from digital media contained on computer hard drives and other such digital storage devices. At Disklabs, digital evidence is investigated by our certified Computer Forensic Experts to ensure that any material of evidentiary value can be effectively isolated and extracted in a forensically sound manner ensuring it will stand up to the scrutiny of a court of law or tribunal.
Computer forensics, in a strict sense, applies specifically to the process of evaluation of computers and data stored on these devices. Disklabs Experts are trained and follow the practices outlined in the United Kingdom Good Practice Guide for Computer Based Electronic Evidence maintained by The Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO). This document is primarily for the Police and investigative community and serves as the main guide to setting standards for British courts. As such, this sets the levels of expectations that digital evidence must meet as exhibits for consideration by the Judge and Jury.
