Computer forensics

Almost every civil or criminal case involves a computer, but the evidential data contained within them is often overlooked or inadvertently changed.

Our team of forensic computer experts has the specialist knowledge to recover, secure and analyse computer systems. We examine data files, including deleted and hidden files, to detect questionable activity.


The computer forensics team has trained consultants in 12 offices around the world and is backed up by Control Risks’ worldwide team of investigators. We can offer our clients a specialised and unrivalled service, handling a case at every stage from start to finish. Computer forensics requires meticulous attention to detail and tight control over the evidential chain and this is achieved within our secure double access controlled laboratory area.
