Digital Forensic Services

Court Admissible. Expert Analysis. Proven Methodology.

Investigative Risk Management delivers professional forensic services designed to uncover the truth, preserve critical evidence, and support legal proceedings or HR decisions with confidence. Our forensic division provides structured, defensible digital investigations for organizations across Canada.

IRM provides four core service areas built around court admissibility and expert analysis. Every engagement is conducted with evidentiary integrity, technical precision, and strict chain of custody protocols.

When digital evidence matters, the process matters even more.

Comprehensive Forensic Analysis

Digital evidence often contains far more than what appears on the surface. Deleted files leave traces. User activity generates artifacts. Systems create timelines that reveal patterns of behavior.

IRM provides deep forensic examination and analysis of digital evidence, including:

• File system analysis
• Deleted data recovery
• Timeline reconstruction
• Artifact extraction
• User activity tracking
• Metadata analysis
• Pattern identification

Our forensic analysts examine computers, servers, phones, and storage media to uncover critical evidence that supports legal proceedings and workplace investigations.

Every finding is documented clearly and structured to meet evidentiary standards suitable for court proceedings.

Imaging and Evidence Preservation

Digital investigations begin with proper collection. Evidence that is not preserved correctly may become unusable in court.

IRM conducts court admissible evidence collection from:

• Desktop and laptop computers
• External storage devices
• Network storage systems

Each acquisition follows a complete chain of custody protocol. Cryptographic hash verification ensures evidence integrity from the moment of imaging through final reporting.

Proper preservation is as technical as it is procedural. This focused approach protects both the evidence and the organization relying on it.

Mobile Device Examination

Phones contain some of the most critical evidence in modern investigations. Smartphones and tablets often hold communications, location data, application records, and user behavior indicators that are central to disputes and security incidents.

IRM provides forensic examination of iOS and Android devices, including:

• Application data extraction
• Deleted message recovery
• Location history analysis
• Social media examination
• Communication reconstruction

Our approach ensures that relevant data is extracted systematically and preserved according to forensic best practices. The objective is clarity supported by verifiable technical methodology.

Email and Cloud Investigation

Email platforms and cloud environments have become central to corporate communication. They also represent significant evidentiary sources in litigation, HR investigations, and cybersecurity incidents.

IRM conducts structured analysis of:

• Microsoft 365 environments
• Google Workspace accounts
• Enterprise email systems

Our forensic services include:

• Message threading analysis
• Attachment recovery
• Metadata extraction
• Communication pattern identification
• Cloud storage examination

Cloud investigations require specialized technical knowledge. Data must be preserved without alteration while maintaining defensible collection standards.

Court Admissible and Expert Driven

The Digital Forensics Services portfolio emphasizes court admissible processes and expert analysis . That commitment defines every IRM engagement.

Our forensic professionals understand that findings will almost certainly be scrutinized in litigation, arbitration, or regulatory proceedings. Reporting is clear, structured, and supported by documented methodology.

We work closely with:

• Legal counsel
• Corporate leadership
• Human resources departments
• Cybersecurity teams
• Municipal administrators

The goal is simple. Deliver reliable evidence that withstands examination.

Why Professional Digital Forensics Matters

Digital evidence is fragile. Improper handling can alter timestamps, overwrite data, or compromise admissibility. Internal IT teams are often not equipped to perform forensic acquisitions without risk.

Professional forensic services provide:

• Independent verification
• Evidentiary integrity
• Technical depth
• Neutral third party credibility
• Structured reporting for decision makers

When disputes involve data theft, policy violations, harassment allegations, fraud, intellectual property concerns, or cybersecurity breaches, defensible forensic analysis becomes critical.
