The deliverable

An expert report, not a technical note

What we hand over is written to be read by a judge, an insurer or your counsel — and to withstand challenge.

  • Dated, reproducible findings — every conclusion points back to the technical element behind it.
  • SHA-256 cryptographic hashes — a third party can verify that the copies are intact.
  • A traced chain of custody — who held what, when, and under what conditions.
  • A spoken debrief with your counsel — we explain the report to the people who will use it.

Frequently asked

What people ask before they call

Can you tell whether my phone is being spied on?

Often, yes. The examination covers installed apps, configuration profiles, remote access and system traces — not a consumer detection app, which sees almost nothing.

Do I have to file a complaint before having my devices examined?

No. You can have the facts established before filing, which often makes the complaint stronger. We also act on requisition or on a court appointment.

Will my report be accepted by a court?

Our reports follow the requirements of judicial expertise: documented method, integrity verifiable through cryptographic hashes, findings kept separate from conclusions. Weighing the evidence remains the judge's role.

What should I do while waiting for an expert?

Do not reset the device, do not uninstall anything, do not update it, and do not change your passwords from the suspect device. Note the dates and keep the messages unaltered.

Will I lose my data during the examination?

No. The examination is carried out on a forensic copy whose integrity is verified by a cryptographic hash. The device is returned to you in the state in which you handed it over.

Will my data stay confidential?

Yes. Professional secrecy, a security management system certified to ISO/IEC 27001, and deletion of the copies at the end of the assignment within the agreed period.
