Collection and Evaluation of Digital Evidence

Perhaps you think of the latest crime thriller when you think of forensics. But not only a mysterious murder can be investigated forensically, but also cyber attacks, theft or manipulation of data, and unauthorized use of IT resources. This is exactly what we do with digital forensics. In this process, our forensics team systematically searches for digital traces in a way that is court-proof and clarifies the questions of what happened where, when, and how, who triggered it, and how this relates to the bigger picture. The goal is to reconstruct the security incident as completely as possible.

Digital forensics plays a crucial role in the detection and clarification of unwanted and even criminal activities in the digital world. It involves the collection, investigation, analysis, and interpretation of digital evidence generated by crimes or breaches of IT security. It is about identifying hacker attacks, data theft, data leakage or fraud cases and assessing them by means of digital evidence searches.

Strict rules apply to the investigation to prevent potential evidence from being irrevocably destroyed or rejected in court. IT forensic analyses require expert knowledge and specialized software and hardware. For this purpose, Oneconsult has a specifically trained and certified forensics team and its own forensics laboratory.

Our Digital Forensics Approach

  1. Kick-off Meeting: Definition of the scope of the investigation, specification of the objectives as well as the systems and data that are to be investigated.
  2. Collection: Forensic collection of data relevant to the investigation.
  3. Examination: Examination of collected data and systems. Data is then extracted, processed, and prepared for analysis using automated and manual methods.
  4. Analysis: Analysis of the prepared data to achieve the objective of the investigation.
  5. Documentation: Preparation of a final report, which is tailored to the target group. This includes a management summary, description of the initial situation, objectives, hypotheses, procedure, results of the forensic investigation, findings, and any recommendations for action.
  6. Final Meeting: Presentation and discussion of the final report. In a next step, duplicates of the collected evidence are securely deleted or destroyed in order to maintain confidentiality.
