📱 Mobile Device Forensics

How We Investigate Smartphones, Tablets & Portable Devices

In today’s connected world, mobile devices are a constant companion—and a rich source of digital evidence. Our mobile forensics service is designed to extract, analyze, and preserve data from smartphones, tablets, and other portable devices using court-admissible techniques and tools. Whether you’re dealing with a criminal case, corporate investigation, or civil dispute, our approach ensures that mobile evidence is handled with the highest standards of accuracy and integrity.

While our methodology shares key principles with traditional computer forensics, such as ensuring data preservation, maintaining a chain of custody, and producing clear, defensible reports, mobile devices introduce unique challenges that require specialized skills and technologies.

These challenges include:

  • Advanced Encryption – Many smartphones now feature hardware-level encryption that must be bypassed legally and safely.
  • App-Specific Evidence – Messaging platforms like WhatsApp, Signal, and Telegram store data in protected or proprietary formats that require advanced tools to access.
  • Cloud Synchronization – Data may reside not just on the device, but also in cloud backups (iCloud, Google Drive, etc.), requiring lawful access and analysis of off-device sources.
  • Frequent System Updates – The dynamic nature of mobile OS versions (iOS, Android) means forensic tools must constantly adapt to remain effective.
  • Deleted or Hidden Data – Sophisticated recovery techniques are often needed to retrieve deleted messages, media, or hidden files without corrupting evidence.

Through the use of leading forensic platforms—such as Cellebrite UFED, Magnet AXIOM, and MSAB XRY—our certified examiners can perform logical, file system, and physical extractions, even from locked or damaged devices (where legally permissible).

Every step of our process is documented, repeatable, and legally defensible. We maintain full transparency and ensure our findings can stand up under legal scrutiny in criminal, civil, or disciplinary proceedings.

When mobile devices hold the answers, our forensic specialists uncover the truth—securely, legally, and with absolute precision.



đź”’ Isolation

Before any analysis begins, we isolate the device from networks using Faraday bags or by disabling connectivity. This protects against remote wiping or tampering.

đź’˝ Preservation

We create a forensic image of the device (logical, file system, or physical), using specialized tools to maintain integrity and ensure a verifiable chain of custody.

📥 Extraction

We retrieve all accessible data, including:

  • SMS, call logs, contact lists
  • App data (WhatsApp, Signal, etc.)
  • Media files (photos, videos, voice notes)
  • Deleted data (when recoverable)
  • GPS data and timestamps
  • Cloud account traces (if permissible)

🕵️ Analysis

Expert analysts review all retrieved data for evidence of suspicious, criminal, or policy-violating activity. We identify patterns, timelines, deleted interactions, and user behavior across apps and OS logs.

đź“‘ Reporting

Findings are compiled into a clear, structured report—ready for legal review or internal disciplinary use. All reports include technical details, timelines, and verified evidence hashes.
