Our team includes some of Australia’s leading digital forensic investigators who have performed thousands of investigations and presented expert evidence in legal proceedings.
Digital forensic methodology
Our forensic methodology ensures the integrity of digital evidence through systematic identification, secure preservation, rigorous analysis, and clear presentation in legal or investigative proceedings.
Identification
Understanding what evidence exists, where it is located, and the conditions under which it is stored is essential for determining the appropriate processes to ensure its recovery.
Preservation
All evidence must be preserved in a manner that ensures forensic integrity and adheres to relevant statutory requirements.
Analysis
Once collected, digital evidence must undergo thorough processing and analysis to address the fundamental questions of who, what, where, how, and why.
Presentation
Equally important are the methods of presentation, the qualifications and expertise of the individual presenting the evidence, and the reliability of the procedures used to generate the material being submitted.

Digital forensics is the process of identifying, preserving, analysing, and presenting digital evidence in a forensically sound and legally acceptable manner.
CyberCX performs examinations on any device capable of storing data, including but not limited to laptops, desktops, mobile phones, tablets, cloud‑based storage, physical and virtual servers, USB and external hard drives, as well as digital assets, and blockchain‑based assets such as cryptocurrency.
You should engage a digital forensics expert where digital evidence is central to the case. A digital forensic examiner’s role is not just technical, they bridge the gap between discussing complex technical topics and making it understandable for people in the legal system, ensuring your evidence is understood by all parties.
A digital forensic expert differs fundamentally from an IT support professional in both role and methodologies used. While IT support focuses on maintaining systems and troubleshooting technical issues, a digital forensic expert is concerned with the identification, preservation, analysis, and presentation of digital evidence in a forensically sound and legally admissible manner.
Forensic experts employ specialised digital forensic tools and processes to indentify data of interest, maintain strict chain‑of‑custody procedures, and prepare findings suitable for court proceedings. In contrast, IT support staff are not trained to meet evidentiary standards or to conduct forensics investigations. The distinction lies in the forensic expert’s role as an investigator and custodian of digital evidence, rather than a technician ensuring system functionality.
The time required to image a phone or computer varies significantly depending on several factors, including the size of the storage media, the type of device, the condition of the hardware, and the type and version of operating system installed. A modern smartphone with large storage may take up to five or 6 hours to image, whereas a computer with multi‑terabyte drives can take up to 10 hours to complete. Forensic imaging is not simply a copy, it is a bit‑for‑bit copy of every readable bit of data, which makes the process more time‑intensive. Our approach prioritises evidentiary integrity over speed, ensuring that the result and forensic image is admissible in court.
