Database forensics is a branch of digital forensics used to investigate database content and metadata. We provide our law firm and corporate clients with the following eDiscovery database services.
Database Forensic Collections
We collect all database files and transaction logs containing evidence important to the litigation. Frequently, this includes backups of the database as litigation is often historical. Also, when data is deleted either intentionally or inadvertently, database recovery from backups is often helpful.
Database Data Extraction
We use standard reports, custom reports, data export, queries, and stored procedures to extract the data you need for your case. Based on the details in your case, we also apply date ranges, search terms, or other criteria to reduce the amount of data you have to review.
Database Legal Review
Database legal review is considerably different than normal document review. Primarily, instead of looking at each record separately, you need to analyze and consolidate the data to provide useful information. We produce an output report, usually an Excel spreadsheet, that will provide the evidence the lawyers or their forensic accountants need to review.
Remote Collection
With our remote electronic evidence collection services, our forensics specialists collect, preserve, and produce your electronically stored information (ESI). You won’t have to leave your home or office, and you won’t have to give up possession of your phone, tablet, and computer.
Database Productions
Once we’ve completed the extraction, we can give you CSV files to produce responsive and non-privileged database evidence to the opposing party. Then, opposing counsel can review as is, or upload the information into their litigation support software for legal review.
