A forensic examination can recover deleted files and communications, establish timelines of activity, identify who accessed or modified data, uncover hidden or encrypted information, and document evidence in a clear, objective report. Whether you need answers for a legal matter, a workplace concern, or a personal situation, the goal is the same: find out what actually happened.

Yes. Common workplace matters include suspected data theft before an employee departure, policy violations, unauthorized access to systems, misuse of company resources, and internal fraud. We examine computers, email accounts, and other digital records to document what occurred. Our findings are presented in clear reports suitable for HR decisions, legal proceedings, or internal review.

In many cases, yes. When files are deleted, they often remain on the storage device until overwritten. Using forensic tools, we can frequently recover documents, emails, photos, messages, and other data that was thought to be permanently deleted. Success depends on factors like how long ago the deletion occurred and how the device has been used since. We can assess your specific situation during a consultation.

Yes, with proper authority. We understand these situations require sensitivity, and we can assist with accessing password-protected computers and devices, recovering important documents, photos, and records, and preserving digital memories. Before we begin, we ask the requester to confirm their legal authority to authorize the work—typically as the executor named in the will, a court-appointed estate administrator (Letters of Probate or equivalent), or another fiduciary recognized under provincial law—and to provide supporting documentation along with proof of death. This protects you, the estate, and us, and ensures any findings can be relied on later if needed. Note that accessing online accounts (email, cloud storage, social media) is governed separately by each provider's terms and may require additional legal process even when device access is straightforward.

Yes. Confidentiality is fundamental to our practice. We use encrypted communications, secure evidence storage, and strict access controls, and we limit access to case information to those directly involved in providing services. We do not disclose client information to third parties without your consent, except in the limited circumstances where Canadian law requires it—such as a valid court order or subpoena, a clear and imminent threat of serious harm, mandatory child-protection reporting, or other legal obligations. In any such case, we disclose only the minimum information necessary and, where permitted, will notify you first.

Costs depend on the scope of your case. Initial consultations are free. We discuss your situation, explain what's involved, and provide a clear estimate before any work begins. There are no surprises. We can also work with budgets and prioritize what matters most.
