One of the key elements in every data forensics
procedure is time. Users may unintentionally or inadvertently
overwrite evidence simply by continuing to complete their
daily tasks. Ashkelon will quickly and cost-effectively collect
and preserve data or evidence that may have been deleted or
become inaccessible through normal computing methods. Ashkelon
can determine if certain information exists and, if so, where
it might be located. |
When the data storage media is recovered either
on location or at our lab facility, an accurate audit trail commences.
The media is immediately logged into a tracking system and a log
is produced. This log, suitable for all legal proceedings,
accompanies the media throughout the recovery process. Ashkelon
employees who handle the media ensure the continuity of evidence
by adding their name, signature, date and a detailed description
of what was done.
At this stage of the process, Federal Rules of
Evidence apply. Ashkelon's expertise in magnetic media storage
devices begins to play a crucial role. First - the media is replicated
exactly by a bit-by-bit acquisition process ensuring the integrity
of the subject media is intact, and evidence preserved. Ashkelon
then works only with duplicate copies ensuring that no contamination
of the original data takes place.
In this preliminary examination, Ashkelon provides
the client a detailed report outlining file structures, media
integrity, and the recoverability of deleted files. This report
may be used to determine if the files present will be of assistance
in the investigation. Ashkelon will then make recommendations
how to proceed if further information needs to be retrieved. This
report allows our clients to make an informed decision on the
various options that may be available to them. The client's needs
augmented with our recommendations assure that the time spent
on the analyses is focused at all times.
