Investigative Mindset
Our team members are licensed investigators. We leverage human logic, tenacity, and the understanding that investigations are an art more than a science.
Innovation
Technology doesn't stand still. To accommodate new data sources, we often have to develop new and customized solutions when conventional forensic tools lack the required support.

Our core mantra is "no documentation equals no data". We always utilize best in breed technology and forensically validated tools and workflows to ensure that the data we collect will be admissible in court.

Our approach is grounded in a holistic understanding of not only dat but how it functions in complex legal matters. We can advice you on the best approach to take with an eye to your overall case strategy.
Experience With All Data Sources.
Onsite, remote, and in-lab.
Traditional Endpoints
Computers, hard drives, network file shares (i.e., home/user shares) on cloud-based sources, and Network-Attached Storage (NAS) and / or Storage Area Network (SAN) devices.
Mobile Devices
Smartphones, tablets, wearable devices, SIM cards, and external storage media. We can perform advanced extractions on supported devices, providing access to deleted data and more.
Cloud & Email Systems
Storage services (Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc), cloud email (Google, Microsoft 365), and on-premises servers.
Specialized Data
Social media platforms, ephemeral messaging apps (which auto-delete messages), databases, and digital artifacts related to Cryptocurrency.
Internet of Things
Digital assistants (Amazon Alexa), home security devices, and smart appliances. We determine where the data resides (internal memory, removable media, or cloud storage).
Comprehensive Solutions.
The P1 team goes beyond just collecting data; we understand how it interacts in its source environment and the digital footprints left behind. Our services cover the full spectrum of data identification, preservation, collection, and analysis:
- Intellectual Property
- Claims of Data Destruction / Data Spoliation
- Metadata Analysis
- Data Remediation
- Harassment Disputes
- Employment Disputes
Data Analysis
We can often reconstruct the timeline of events that occurred before and after anti-forensics software was used, as these products often leave a trace.
We determine if files were copied, when they were created or last accessed, and investigate the limitations and reliability of metadata in context.
Clear Communication
We convey complex technical concepts in a clear, concise, and easily understood manner, regardless of the client's technical savviness. We set proper expectations about logistics and deliverables. We remain calm and confident when emotions are running high.
Collaborative
We work collaboratively with the employees, counsel, and IT personnel to ensure everyone is comfortable with the defensible methodologies utilized, especially concerning personal data. When local data privacy laws are at play, we work with counsel to ensure compliance, throughout the process.
Meticulous Documentation
We are committed to ensuring that your evidence will stand up in court. We maintain end-to-end Chain of Custody documentation for all collected evidence. Electronic documentation includes accurate log files, timestamping, and hashing (digital fingerprinting) to ensure data integrity and provide an electronic chain of custody.
Clear Explanations
Our final work product is not just delivered via spreadsheets or difficult to interpret formats; we assist in reviewing the data and communicate our findings in a clear, concise manner.
We're Thorough
We examine collected data using state-of-the-art forensic hardware and software. Our work is delivered efficiently, and we leverage workflows to meet or exceed deadlines, providing relevant information on a rolling basis.
Expert Testimony
Our team provides testimony at depositions, trials, or arbitrations. We are also equipped to be engaged as rebuttal experts, reviewing materials, evidence, and testimony provided by an opposing party's experts.
