What is Mobile Forensics? 

Mobile forensics is a specialised branch of digital forensics focused on retrieving, examining, and preserving data from mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. 

Unlike general data recovery, mobile forensics follows strict investigative protocols to ensure evidence is legally retrieved and admissible in court if necessary.

If your situation requires mobile data recovery or a broader investigation, our team of licensed Private Investigators in Sydney and across Australia can help

The Process

Our forensic investigators follow a structured, step-by-step methodology to ensure all evidence is handled with integrity. Here’s how it works: 

  1. Collection: The mobile device is secured to prevent accidental alteration or deletion of evidence.
  2. Extraction: Forensic tools are used to endeavour to recover visible, hidden, or deleted data.
  3. Analysis: Specialists examine records, system logs, timestamps, and patterns of use to identify useful evidence.
  4. Preservation: Evidence is stored in a forensically sound manner to maintain integrity for legal or corporate proceedings.
  5. Reporting: Findings are documented clearly and comprehensively, ensuring results are easy to understand and admissible in court.
