We are truly pleased with this partnership and the impact it has had on our work.

      IT Consulting Review from Michael Orenstein

      As our product grew, managing our systems became more and more challenging. Things were slowing down, and small issues kept piling up into frustrating delays for the team.That’s when we turned to MindHind. They took the time to carefully review everything we were using, explained what was breaking and why in a way that was easy to understand, and guided us through setting up better processes. They didn’t just fix problems, they showed us how to make the system stronger so we wouldn’t keep running into the same issues again.Since partnering with them, our platform runs smoothly and our team feels far more confident. MindHind has proven to be a reliable partner, and we’re genuinely glad we chose to work with them.

      Software Development Review from Dominique Dujardin

      The product was developed successfully and has been undergoing pilot usage. Hexagon IT Solutions managed the engagement effectively, delegating tasks and assignments between us and the team. They met timelines and communicated efficiently through Slack. Their resources also resolved bugs quickly.Hexagon makes it easy for people trying to develop software. Ultimately, Hexagon was and has been on the same page with us from the beginning. They knew exactly what we were looking for, and what we didn't want. Other software development firms jumped at us with marketing proposals, designers, and irrelevant business consulting. Hexagon IT Solutions took the time to understand who we are and offer us their services accordingly.

They even came out afterwards when we were having some additional issues due to third-party equipment interfacing with what they set up.

      My company has been utilizing the services of NFD for many years, and I'm happy to say we have made the right decision! All experiences with the team have been professional, courteous, timely, and especially informational. They take the time to explain the 'how's' and 'why's' and do not assume everyone has the same IT brain - which I personally appreciate. They are a breath of fresh air and always go above and beyond for each one of my team members. I highly recommend them. Keep up the great work!

      We recently worked with Jonathan and his team at Forensic Control to achieve our Cyber Essentials certification.From our very first meeting, it was clear that their service was exactly what we needed. This was our first time completing the certification, and I wanted to minimise the amount of internal time spent navigating the process while ensuring everything was done properly.Jonathan outlined a clear, structured approach that gave me confidence straight away.A particular mention to Ross Southwell, who provided expert guidance throughout. He was especially helpful in working through some of the more nuanced certification questions and helping us clearly define and document our internal processes where required.The whole experience was efficient, professional and well-managed. We achieved certification with clarity and confidence, not confusion or guesswork.If you’re considering Cyber Essentials and want experienced, structured guidance rather than figuring it out alone, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Forensic Control.

5 Frequently Asked Questions About Digital Forensics Firms

What are the different branches of digital forensics?

Digital forensics encompasses several specialized areas, with firms tailoring their services to the specific needs, goals, and circumstances of their clients. Common branches include: 

  1. Computer forensics focuses on data from computers, servers, and storage media. 
  2. Network forensics monitors and analyzes network traffic and related activities to investigate unauthorized access, potential breaches, and suspicious activities. 
  3. Mobile device forensics examines data from smartphones, tablets, and GPS-enabled devices, and related sources such as SIM cards and app data. 
  4. Forensic data analysis looks at structured data to uncover patterns linked to fraud, misconduct, or other irregularities. 
  5. Database forensics investigates database content, metadata, logs, transactions, and user activity to identify tampering, misuse, or breach-related evidence. 

Other types of digital forensics include cloud forensics, IoT (Internet of Things) forensics, malware forensics, digital media forensics, and memory forensics. 

How much do their services cost?

The cost of digital forensics services depends on the device type and scope, data volume, urgency, case type (e.g., civil, criminal, internal), and required expertise.   

Agency location is another factor that impacts cost, with certified experts in the United States charging $150-$400+ per hour or $1,500-$8,000 per export.   

Some digital forensics services companies also offer a tiered pricing engagement model, with prices ranging between $5,000 to over $100,000, depending on the complexity of the case. 

What is the difference between digital forensics and e-discovery?

Digital forensics is the investigative process of identifying, preserving, recovering, analyzing, and interpreting digital evidence to reconstruct events and determine what happened, how it happened, and who was involved. It is used in cyber incidents, internal investigations, suspected misconduct, and other matters where the integrity and meaning of digital evidence are important. 

E-discovery is the legal process of identifying, preserving, collecting, processing, reviewing, analyzing, and producing electronically stored information (ESI) that is relevant to a dispute, investigation, arbitration, or court matter. 

Here is a side-by-side comparison of each: 

 Digital ForensicsE-Discovery
PurposeInvestigates and validates digital evidence Locates and produces relevant ESI for legal use
MethodsIncludes forensic imaging, artifact analysis, timeline reconstruction, metadata review, and data recovery Focuses on evidence preservation, collection, processing, search, review, and presentation 

Often, e-discovery processes employ digital forensics expertise, especially when the ESI is in the raw format (metadata or code) or is suspected of having been tampered with.

How do digital forensics companies help make digital evidence admissible in court?

While the court ultimately decides whether evidence is admissible, a reputable firm strengthens admissibility by following lawful collection procedures, preserving authenticity and integrity, maintaining clear documentation, and using reliable methods that can be explained and defended in court. 

They typically do this through practices, such as: 

  • Chain of custody: Documenting who collected, accessed, transferred, stored, and analyzed the evidence, when each step occurred, and what was done to it throughout the investigation. 
  • Forensic imaging and integrity verification: Creating a forensic copy when appropriate and using hashing or similar integrity checks to show that the working copy is a true copy of the original and has not been altered. 
  • Metadata preservation: Preserving file-system and application metadata, such as timestamps, authorship, and editing history, because that contextual information may be important to the investigation and to later testimony. 
  • Validated methods and documentation: Using tested tools, standard procedures, and records detailed enough for another qualified examiner to understand and, where appropriate, reproduce the work. 

When should you hire a digital forensics firm?

You should consider hiring a digital forensics firm when you experience any of these situations: suspected data breaches, employee misconduct investigations, fraud, intellectual property theft, insurance-related investigations, and civil or criminal matters involving digital evidence.   

Digital forensics can also be useful in internal policy investigations, operational incident reviews, and matters where evidence may have been deleted, altered, or concealed.  

You may also need a digital forensics firm when responding to a cyber incident, and want to determine what happened, what systems or data were affected, and how to preserve evidence for legal, regulatory, or recovery purposes.
