What Can Be Forensically Secured on Desktops?
Desktop computers are the backbone of daily business operations and therefore central nodes in digital investigations. They store data locally, connect with servers, mobile devices, or the cloud – providing a comprehensive picture of possible data movements.
Computerforensic & more secures, analyzes, and reconstructs these digital traces to document evidence in a court-admissible manner and to recover sensitive information.
Deep Data Traces Despite Deletion
Even when data seems deleted, many pieces of information remain preserved deep within modern operating systems’ storage logic. Using specialized forensic software, we reconstruct, among others:
- Deleted or manipulated files
- Activity logs and system logs
- File versions & temporary states
- User and access histories
- Password and authentication data
Networked Systems — Linked Traces
Desktops constantly communicate with other devices:
- Mobile phones (BYOD, tethering, sync services)
- Notebooks, tablets, USB sticks
- Internal networks (LAN), servers, and backup systems
- Cloud services (Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive)
We analyze these connections and reconstruct, based on logs, which data was transmitted or changed, when, and where.
The Digital Crime Scene: Reconstruction & Evidence Presentation
Our forensic analysis includes:
- Creation of timelines of user actions
- Identification of potential crime tools (e.g., mobile devices)
- Assignment of access rights & roles
- Documentation of data movement & communication
- Court-admissible preparation of digital evidence
Every action leaves traces. Our goal: Make these traces visible and usable — in a legally admissible format.
