Digital Forensics For Businesses
Hard drives don’t lie.
If there is evidence of misconduct on a company computer, I’ll find it.
Are you concerned that an employee may be surfing porn, misusing email, or otherwise violating computer use policy on a company computer, laptop or smart phone?
Call me. I’ll determine exactly what happened, when it happened, and in what sequence it happened, through digital forensics analysis (DFA).
What is DFA?
Digital forensics analysis is the process of capturing, analyzing and reporting on the contents of a digital device’s hard drive, usually for the purpose of identifying evidence and determining how it got on the computer in a civil suit or criminal trial.
There are several steps involved:
We have a conversation about your concerns or suspicions. I may suggest doing a preliminary data search to determine if evidence of wrongdoing even exists (which can save you a lot of time and money). Or, if you’re certain that it does, we’ll go over next steps for a full investigation.
I’ll create a forensically sound image of the device’s hard drive at the disk or partition level. This ensures that I preserve everything, including all hidden files, system files and unused folder space where crucial evidence may be stored, without changing anything on the hard drive.
I’ll use forensic hardware and software to thoroughly examine every part of the hard drive for evidence. This may include examining text files, email, photos, artwork, videos, chat, databases, software and more. I can even determine if files or entire portions of the hard drive have been “wiped” clean using erasure software (often a violation of a company’s computer use policy).
I report my findings in cascading depth. I write the executive summary for laypersons; the findings section for both laypersons and experts; and the technical addenda for other forensic analysts, if and as necessary. By clearly understanding what has occurred, you can decide what to do next.`
If the evidence prompts you to seek legal counsel and pursue a civil suit or criminal trial, I can work with your attorney. (See Digital Forensics for Attorneys)

Why Choose eForensicsPro?
Digital forensics analysis leaves no room for error. Here is why you can place your trust in me:
Technical expertise
I’ve been examining digital information on hard drives for over 40 years, including 17 years testing and perfecting software for Microsoft. On countless occasions, I’ve spotted anomalies in code that even my best engineers missed. That’s one of the reasons they gave me the prestigious Microsoft Achievement Award.
DFA training
I trained in digital forensics analysis at Edmonds Community College in Edmonds, Washington. I completed the training at the top of my class.
PI licensure
I’m licensed as a private investigator in Washington State. (Note: states vary in their requirements. Some prohibit the collection of digital evidence by anyone who is not a licensed PI.)
Mobility
I have the equipment necessary to conduct digital forensics analyses just about anywhere: in police stations or FBI offices, when digital devices have been seized, and in work environments, both during and after hours.
Communication skills
Thanks to many corporate years of presenting technical information to non-technical audiences, I’m able to create forensic reports and presentations today than any layperson can understand.
