Computer Forensics & Confidential Data Recovery
Missing that key piece of evidence essential to your case? Lost that
confidential file and don't know who to trust to retrieve it?
Computer forensics is a critical investigative tool
in virtually every type of investigation conducted today, and is essential
in solving many if not all cases. The process of gathering evidentiary
data requires the knowledge of hardware architecture, software systems
and the legal process. This knowledge has allowed us to recover thousands
of pieces of data and other electronic evidence for organizations and
law firms across the country, while maintaining the necessary chain
of custody and data integrity. The proper acquisition and analysis of
this data are paramount in computer forensics. Electronic evidence is
oftentimes the deciding factor in the outcome of a criminal or civil
action.
Our examiners have undergone the extensive training
and testing that is required in this field including obtaining Encase
Certified Examiner (EnCE) certification. We utilize a host of the latest
forensic software and hardware tools such as Guidance Software's Encase
forensic suite and various Paraben utilities.
Cases involving sexual harassment, theft of proprietary
information, employment discrimination, and premise liability can be
won or lost solely by presenting recovered e-mail messages and other
electronic files and records to the courts or other administrative proceedings.
If an attempt has been made to delete, erase, or otherwise hide critical
evidence, you need experienced, competent and certified forensic examiners.
Swailes & Company has led the search and retrieval of the "smoking
gun" to locate data that would otherwise be thought of as permanently
lost.
Technical Surveillance Countermeasures Surveys (TSCM)
Is your boardroom safe? Are you planning a merger or acquisition?
Swailes & Company is recognized as an industry
leader in the TSCM business and has assisted companies worldwide. We
have performed these projects in the United Kingdom, Chile, Argentina,
Venezuela, and the Dominican Republic, as well as virtually every corner
of our nation. These “sweeps” or “debugging”
services, as they are commonly referred to, are designed to detect the
presence of clandestine surveillance devices. In the course of a comprehensive
counter-measures survey, we conduct both an electronic and physical
inspection of the area for devices such as radio transmitters, microphones,
laser listening devices, cameras, or telephone line taps. These inspections
also include identifying instrument modifications, carrier current bugs,
technical security weaknesses or other potentially exploitable hazards.
These surveys enable our clients to ensure a secure environment for
conducting business; both day-to-day activities and special events such
as Annual Board Meetings, Mergers, Acquisition Strategy sessions, or
other sensitive and proprietary discussions.

Division with cutting edge covert camera design and installation, including
