Our approach

How we work

Digital evidence is only useful if people trust how it was handled. These principles guide every engagement.

  • Confidential from the first call
  • Independent: we report what the evidence shows, whoever it helps
  • Documented procedures, so our work can be checked
  • Plain-English reports for non-technical readers
  • A quote before any work starts

Credentials

Standards and experience

Our evidence-handling procedures are designed to meet the Evidence Act 1995 (Cth) and the Evidence Act 1906 (WA), and we handle personal information in line with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

Between them, our team brings more than 20 years of ICT industry experience and 14 years of teaching IT at certificate and diploma level.

Where we are: Based in the South West of Western Australia, serving Perth and Australia-wide. Much of our cloud evidence work can be done remotely, so distance is rarely a barrier.
