Frequently Asked Questions

01 Who can legally open a digital forensics case?

A forensic investigation can be authorized by the legal owner of the device, corporate executives managing corporate-owned assets, legal executors of an estate, or attorneys acting under valid judicial warrants or client retainers across Ontario.

02 How do you protect the chain of custody for sent devices?

The moment a device enters our secure laboratory, it is assigned a unique cryptographic case ID and logged into our digital tracking system. Every interaction, extraction attempt, and laboratory phase is documented by our certified examiners, ensuring a seamless, court-admissible chain of custody.

03 Can I speed up the intake process for urgent legal matters?

Yes. If your matter involves an active court injunction, time-sensitive corporate breach, or emergency estate filing, please select the "Urgent Rush" parameter within the intake framework or call our lab directly to bypass the standard processing queue.
