Computer Forensics is the practice of investigation and analysis of electronic data with the utilization of specialized tools and techniques. Examination of data (visible, hidden or otherwise) yields factual evidence regarding an individual's conduct or behavior on a computer to either support the prosecution or defense for an organization or individual.

Essentially, computer forensics is the Who, What, When and Where of how a computer was used culminating with a comprehensible report to assist the prosecution or defense in supporting their case.

Accompanying this text (below) is a list of some of the reasons for using the services that SMP Computer Forensics and SMP Data Recovery can provide. The SMP Forensic Services Team has years of experience in the field of storage, recovering data and examining storage media and hardware.

Covert/On-Site Evidence Gathering

SMP Forensic Services offers an "On-Site" Service for gathering information. Should a covert service be required, one of our Forensic Service Specialists will arrive On-Site and image the hard disk drive, server, or other storage device (after hours, if required). The benefit of this service is that the subject is denied the opportunity to destroy or damage any of the evidence or alert fellow conspirators. Our trained professionals are able to lift and securely transport all required equipment. When necessary all of the forensic investigation can be carried out at the client's site.

Computer Forensics Investigation Report

Once the objectives of the investigation have been achieved, SMP Forensic Services will prepare a full investigative report. The report will identify the continuity of information and describe all of the procedures utilized during our investigation, with a concise summary of conclusions, observations and all appropriate recommendations.
