Cell Phone Forensic Acquisitions
Required for search:
The client should turn the cell phone OFF as soon as possible after obtaining it. Some cell phones can be remotely locked or data deleted. Typically the cell phone is delivered to our secure facility or we go to pick it up and bring it back. This type of Investigation can be done much more cost effectively as we do not have to keep the Investigator in the field during the acquisition phase of the project. We need access to the cell phone for 4 to 6 hours.
Analysis:
All analysis and preview work on cell phone data is done in our secure facility. Once the cell phone is in our laboratory we can place it in a device, prior to turning it on, which will block any incoming locking or deleting signal which would destroy the data. Be sure to bring the battery Charger, all cables, and documentation you have for the phone with you to our office.
Helpful Information:
Prior to accepting the assignment, we must know the make, model, and serial number of the device. If you have the original invoices for the purchase of the cell phone, and any upgrade invoices, it will give us a technological history reference in terms of streamlining our data acquisition process. This will result in cost savings to you.
Results:
We usually make two forensic images of the data on the phone: one to use as a "working copy" and one to keep secure (or as a backup copy if the first fails). The original cell phone is returned to you or stored in our secured facility as determined by the engagement. All data which can be recovered will be. The data will be analyzed in accordance with the specifics of the engagement. The data and the reports will be ready for your legal team and our Expert Witnesses to use in your case.
Cost:
$250.00 per hour for setup and Investigation. TAT TBD. Incidentals TBD. Acquisition time on the Forensic Acquisition Unit is charged at $25.00 per hour. During this period NO Investigator time is charged. Specific time and charges will be detailed in the engagement letter.
