Independent Capacity
Certified External Analysis When You Need It
Certified tools and documented methodology
We use Oxygen Forensic Detective — the same platform used by law enforcement agencies internationally. Every extraction is write-blocked, hash-verified, and fully documented to the standard required by Australian courts.
Independent expert witness available
Our analyst provides independent expert testimony in criminal proceedings, coronial inquiries, and commission hearings — with rebuttal capability against opposing expert evidence.
Overflow and specialist capacity
When internal resources are stretched or a matter requires specialist expertise, we provide certified forensic capacity without the delays of a public tender process.
Court-ready documentation as standard
Every examination produces chain-of-custody documentation, hash verification records, and a formal analyst declaration — structured for court filing without additional preparation.

Practical Guidance
Before You Engage Us
A few things to have ready before contact ensures we can commence quickly and maintain full chain-of-custody continuity from the outset.
Confirm lawful authority
We require evidence of lawful authority — warrant, court order, or appropriate statutory power — before commencing any examination. Have this documentation ready before making contact.
Prepare existing exhibit records
We integrate with and extend your existing chain of custody documentation. Bring your exhibit records to the initial engagement so continuity is maintained from the point of seizure.
Define the scope of examination
Targeted examinations are faster and produce cleaner reports. A defined scope — specific date ranges, applications, or data types — helps us produce exactly what the matter requires.
Advise us of hearing dates upfront
We structure our availability and report delivery around your court timelines. Early notice of hearing dates means we can guarantee delivery with time for legal review.
