Flashback Data has provided sensitive incident investigation and forensic data recovery services to clients around the world since 2004, including corporations, law firms, law enforcement agencies and foreign governments.

Our laboratory is ISO/IEC 17025:2005 compliant and accredited by the American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors under the same program as the FBI and state law enforcement (ASCLD/LAB International).

We are also certified in these areas:

•      Certificate | ALI-113-T
•      Field of Accreditation | Forensic Science Testing
•      Discipline | 9.0 Digital and Multimedia Evidence

We offer many services, such as computer forensics, mobile forensics, forensic data recovery, and more. These services help in cases of disputes, crimes, and corporate distress and investigations.

Computer Forensics

We collect activity on computers and equipment and take it to our laboratory to examine the evidence. Our analysts will then begin to retrieve and analyze data. To prevent cross-contamination, the original data must be stored on another media form. After examining the device, we choose the correct extraction method to view the computer’s contents and find evidence to help with the investigation.

Mobile Forensics

We provide forensic services for many mobile devices, such as iPhones, Androids, and Blackberrys. Devices are first collected and turned off. The batteries are also removed if possible. This prevents data alteration. Phones and other mobile devices are then investigated through data analysis and detailed note-taking that will build a story.

JTAG/Chip-Off Forensics

Flashback Data has developed techniques that are compatible with Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) pins on specific devices. Most mobile phones have JTAG pins. We use these pins to give us direct access to the flash memory on a device and allow for full memory recovery. If JTAG does not work, we can also try the chip-off recovery method.

Chip-Off Forensics

This option is more invasive, but is a successful method of recovering difficult or very damaged devices. This method involves going through the flash memory itself. We use our tools and techniques to remove the flash memory chip and reconstruct data on mobile devices to create evidence that helps with investigations.

Expert Witness & Testimony

We have experts with experience in technology, intelligence, and law enforcement. With our background in these departments, we can arrange expert witness testimonies to accompany the data recovery and evidence we find. We are also skilled at creating affidavits and reports.

Forensic Data Recovery

When normal forensic tools cannot retrieve data, we have a full-service data recovery lab that can perform data recovery on damaged or challenging devices. We have the ability to do these recoveries without sending the device to another location and breaking chain-of-custody. This works on crashed hard drives, broken mobile phones, damaged memory sticks, nonworking servers, and backup legacy tapes.

Evidence Collection & Preservation

At Flashback Data, we use techniques that are write-protected and are verifiable with complex hash algorithms. We also enforce strict chain-of-custody protocol to ensure all evidence is accountable. Devices that we can perform data recovery on include email servers, desktop computers, laptops, mobile devices, backup devices, and network shares. Our facility can accommodate any size request.
