Digital Forensics Services Toronto
Searching for digital forensics near me usually means something has already gone wrong: a phone with messages you need as evidence, a laptop a former employee wiped, or a photo that doesn’t look right. Our Digital Forensics Services Toronto team works from our own lab in Mississauga, close to Highway 401, and takes cases from across the GTA.
We’ve been doing this for 16+ years, across more than 6,000 cases. Our examiners are ISFCE certified, every device is handled with a full chain of custody, and our reports are written to hold up in court.
Computer Forensics
We examine computers, laptops, and hard drives to uncover deleted files, user activity, and hidden data, whether it’s for litigation, internal investigations, or criminal cases.
Cell Phone Forensics
Deleted texts, call logs, app data, GPS history, we extract what’s still there, even when it looks like it’s gone. Works with iOS, Android, and most older devices.
Forensic Drive Imaging
Before anything else, we create a forensically sound, bit-for-bit copy of your drive. This preserves the original evidence and ensures everything we do is defensible in court.
Digital Image Authentication
We analyze photos and images to determine if they’ve been altered, manipulated, or fabricated. Used in legal disputes, insurance claims, and cases where visual evidence is in question.
Deceased Person's Data
Losing access to a loved one’s device or account is more common than people think. We help families recover photos, documents, and important files handled with care and discretion.
Verify Child Communications
If you’re concerned about who your child is talking to online, we can help. We review messages, apps, and social media activity to identify risks without destroying trust unnecessarily.
Chip-Off Forensics
When a phone is too damaged to power on, we can remove the memory chip and read it directly. A last-resort method for eMMC and UFS devices that are not locked by hardware encryption.
eDiscovery
Defensible collection, filtering and review-ready exports for law firms and corporate legal teams dealing with large volumes of data.
Forensic Evidence Intake
Shipping or dropping off evidence? Follow our intake steps so the chain of custody starts the moment the package is sealed.
Our clients
Who we work with across the GTA
Lawyers and law firms
Family, criminal defence, employment and civil matters. We preserve the evidence first, document every step and write court-ready reports, and our examiners can testify if your case needs it. For large document sets, see our eDiscovery services.
Police services and public agencies
Specialist work such as chip-off extraction from damaged phones and forensic drive imaging. We've worked with the Toronto Police and the Ministry of the Attorney General.
Businesses, HR teams and insurers
Employee misconduct, files taken by a departing staff member, or disputed photos in a claim. We examine the devices involved with computer forensics and check suspect images with digital image authentication.
Private investigators
We're a forensic lab, not a PI firm. We do the device work behind your file (phones, computers and images) and give you documented findings you can pass to counsel.
Individuals and families
Harassment on a phone, a loved one's device after they pass, a phone you think is being monitored, or worries about who your child is talking to online. Lawful, confidential and explained in plain language. See mobile device forensics, deceased person's data, spyware detection and verify child communications.

Call us and we'll tell you honestly what can be done, before you spend a dollar.
