Our Forensic Platform
We Use the Same Tools as
Law Enforcement
Oxygen Forensic Detective is the global standard for digital evidence extraction — trusted by investigators in over 150 countries. It is not consumer software. It is the platform courts recognise, that lawyers rely on, and that opposing counsel cannot easily dismiss.
The same platform used by police
Oxygen Forensic Detective is the preferred extraction tool of law enforcement agencies, government bodies, and intelligence services across the world. When we produce a report, it carries the same methodology your opposing counsel would struggle to challenge.
Write-blocked from the moment we touch your device
Before any extraction begins, a hardware write-blocker is placed between your device and our forensic workstation. This physically prevents any data being written to the device — the original evidence is never altered.
Every extraction is mathematically verified
We generate cryptographic hash values at the point of acquisition and again after imaging. If a single byte were changed, the hashes would not match. This is how courts know your evidence has not been tampered with.

When You Might Need Us
Common Situations That Bring People to Us
Digital forensics isn't just for police and corporations. These are real situations where individuals, families, and businesses have needed — and used — our services.
You've received threats and need proof
Threatening messages, harassing calls, and coercive behaviour leave digital traces — even after they've been deleted. We recover that evidence in a format courts accept for protection orders and criminal proceedings.
A family court matter hinges on someone's conduct
Text messages, location history, app usage, and deleted content can establish patterns of behaviour relevant to parenting arrangements, property settlements, and supervised contact applications.
An employee left — and may have taken data with them
USB insertion logs, file access timelines, email exports, and cloud sync activity tell the full story of what was copied, when, and where it went — before, during, or after an employee's departure.
You suspect your device has been compromised
Hidden monitoring apps, remote access tools, and account intrusions leave forensic traces. We identify what's on your device, who installed it, and when — and provide documented evidence for police or legal action.
You've been scammed and need evidence for police
Romance scams, investment fraud, and account takeovers generate digital trails. We document the evidence chain your bank, police, or the ACCC will need to investigate and pursue the matter.
Critical messages or files have been deleted
Deleted doesn't always mean gone. Depending on the device and how long ago deletion occurred, we can often recover messages, photos, documents, and call records from unallocated storage.

Practical Guidance
Before You Call Us
A few simple steps taken now can significantly improve what we're able to recover — and how well your evidence holds up in court.
Stop using the device
Every action taken on a phone or computer after an incident can overwrite deleted data. The sooner you stop using it, the better your chances of recovery.
Don't delete anything
Even if messages or files seem damaging, deleting them now can harm your case and may itself be viewed unfavourably by a court. Leave everything as it is.
Do not factory reset
A factory reset makes forensic recovery significantly harder and in some cases impossible. Even if advised by someone else — do not reset the device before speaking to us.
Write down what happened
A brief timeline — what occurred, when, and what you're hoping to find — helps us focus the examination and give you a more accurate assessment on your first call.
