The cost for digital forensics services can vary widely depending on the complexity of the case and the amount of devices or data involved. For more straightforward cases for everyday people or involving 1-2 devices, prices start as low as $1,500 per case. For more complex situations, such as enterprise-wide cyber breaches, costs can exceed $10,000.

Yes we can acquire data remotely but it requires some set up and is based on the specific device in question.
Step 1: Forensic Data Extraction and Forensic Copy Creation
The first and most important step in a cyber forensic investigation is the forensic data extraction, or the creation of a forensic copy of the data from the involved digital devices or cloud accounts. This critical step involves the use of specialized forensic tools designed to access and copy all data from devices such as cell phones, computers, or cloud accounts, including email and iCloud, among others. During this critical step our primary objective is to ensure that as much data as possible is meticulously extracted or copied without any alteration or manipulation. This process is executed in a forensically sound manner, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the evidence. The adherence to these stringent standards ensures that any evidence located during the data review in step 2 can be legitimately introduced in court if necessary. We understand being without your device can be difficult which is we try and complete this step as quickly as possible to get your device back you, usually within 5-7 business days.
Step 2: Data Review
Once we have a forensic copy of all the data from the device or account, we use specialized forensic tools to parse and prepare the data for review. In this step all data is categorized and put into a user-friendly format for review by you, your legal team our or examiners. This is the step in which evidence is documented, reports are made and timelines are created. The duration of this step can extend to 30-45 days or more, contingent upon the number of accounts or devices involved and the volume of data associated with each. There are often hundreds of thousand of files on cell phones and sometimes millions of files on computers the time it takes to complete the data review step and vary significantly.
