Digital Forensics
Every day, our staff helps law firms, businesses, and government agencies discover and utilize electronically stored information from a variety of digital media, including laptops, servers, mobile phones, email systems, and cloud storage.
Drawing on our in-depth experience, we discover information that others cannot. Galaxy Discovery uses certified tools and methods to create a solid evidentiary chain of custody, ensuring that the data we collect is verifiable and forensically sound.

Can you collect iMessage and WhatsApp forensically?
Yes. We image iOS and Android devices with forensic tools and deliver chats as threaded conversations with metadata intact.

We use write-blocking, hash verification and a documented chain of custody on every item, and our examiners can testify to the process.
