From the first hour to the courtroom

Our work is built on more than 25 years of frontline DFIR experience across consulting, law enforcement, mining and legal sectors, including complex, multi-jurisdictional engagements for Fortune 500 and listed companies across the UK, EMEA, North America and Latin America.

When the matter is heading to litigation

Disputes, investigations and regulatory matters turn on electronic evidence. Investgao Cyber supports counsel from the moment a dispute is anticipated, through preservation and disclosure, to independent expert reports and testimony across multiple jurisdictions.

  • Legal hold notices, suspending auto-delete and backup rotation, and tracking acknowledgements
  • ESI protocols: custodians, date ranges, search terms and production formats
  • Defensible collection from email, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and mobile, with hashes and metadata preserved
