Getting to the Bottom of Digital Evidence
Data recovery and computer forensics have become increasingly important as fraud, financial irregularities, employee misconduct and commercial disputes threaten company finances and reputations while creating serious regulatory risks.

Law firms, Fortune 500 companies and government agencies rely on Insite's computer forensics consulting and data recovery services for their most complex, critical and time-sensitive electronic investigations.
Insite's technologies help recover any data that a wrongdoer sought to erase or delete from a hard drive or server, retrieve key data buried in documents and memoranda, and organize data contained in disparate digital information sources. As a leader in data recovery and computer forensics, Insite has helped many clients recover, restore, review and produce electronically-stored information.
Safeguarding Your Evidence
In this computer age, data preservation is not so simple. Just turning on a computer may result in spoliation and the sheer volume of data, formats and global locations requires significant planning, the right equipment and training to ensure your collection is forensically sound and complete.
Further, attempts to safeguard data take a toll on your IT resources. Preservation is both time-consuming and costly and employees responsible for collecting your data may worry about security of the data or if they'll ever have to testify in court.
Insite alleviates these concerns by finding the most efficient and cost-effective strategies for identifying and gathering electronic data for preservation, forensic analysis or preparation for electronic discovery. Our team of data collection experts includes engineers, data management experts and experienced project managers.
Whether your collection needs are small or large, simple or complex, Insite's data collection team responds quickly, adhering to the strictest chain of custody methodologies while onsite at your location and at our offices. We also provide guidance for your organization's internal IT staff in collecting digital data from network servers, e-mail systems, desktop PCs, laptops, handheld devices, backup tapes and any other storage medium. Insite's consultants create customized data collection strategies based on your client's particular needs and IT infrastructure, working with you and your client to develop a responsible approach to discovery exercises.
Find and Preserve the Pieces of the Electronic Evidence Puzzle
Most evidence today is electronic. Although electronic evidence is especially fragile - prone to erasure, destruction and tampering - it also has properties that allow forensic experts to track data history and recover data, if necessary.
Insite forensic professionals can ensure that no pieces of digital evidence are overlooked when building your case or completing your investigation.
Thorough analysis helps recreate a chain of events or user activity, including Internet and e-mail usage. Insite's engineers can often determine whether the computer evidence was tampered with, damaged or removed.
We can examine hidden information associated with recovered files and provide a historical account of the content contained in the files. In essence, we can reveal evidence of the conduct of the people who had access to a computer drive.
Other useful analysis methods include searching for key words and dates, copies of previous document drafts as well as searching for and redacting privilege information. We can authenticate data files along with the date and time stamps. We can also offer advice regarding what electronic evidence is likely to be found on the computer media as well as identifying the most effective data set to search.
Insite can ensure that no pieces of the electronic evidence puzzle are left out when building your case or completing your investigation.
Respond Appropriately to Any IT Security Breach
An information security breach can be anything from a hacker situation to loss of intellectual property or identity theft. It's defined as any instance where data is compromised through the use of a computer. In this digital age, companies must protect themselves.
It is easy to underestimate the range of potential problems that arise when an organization is faced with a cyber-incident. IT staff members are generally not equipped with the training and technology to effectively handle these types of incidents, especially when it comes to legal investigations and prosecutions.
Insite can provide expert forensic investigators to determine real losses, potential liabilities and possible remedies, big or small.
Insite can provide computer experts, network intrusion specialists or data breach investigators to determine real losses, potential liabilities and possible remedies. With specialized tools that can sift through mountains of system metadata, Insit can determine the depth of a security breach, recover data that has been corrupted or intentionally deleted, determine how a hacker evaded security checks and perhaps identify the individual who caused the damage.
Insite helps you manage and mitigate losses from information security breaches so you can sort out appropriate responses and, if need be, restore confidence in your workplace.
