Whether the system is a standalone computer, portable device or part of an integrated network, BII's experienced consultants can assist you from the initial evidence gathering through to the final outcome - be it external prosecution, Industrial Tribunal or internal disciplinary action. All our investigative procedures are ISO 9000 certified and our computer forensics consultants are registered Expert Witnesses. At BII we have the additional benefit of years of network security experience that enable us to closely examine mail servers and other network components. In this way we can perform additional analysis that can carry an investigation beyond the confines of standard, software-based analysis. Our goal is to enable our clients to discover what happened, when and by whom. Digital evidence, whether acquired from a computer system, PDA or mobile phone, can often be the deciding factor in criminal cases, civil and matrimonial disputes and employment proceedings. For a forensic investigation to be lawful and effective, it must take into account Civil Procedure Rules, current legislation and peer recognised technical procedures. Working to these standards will ensure that the data gathered and presented is admissible as evidence in all forms of proceedings The gathering, analysis and presentation of this evidence by an
appropriately qualified expert are required by law and are an essential
aspect of the provision of the BII service. In addition to collecting
and analysing evidence for companies investigating suspected wrongdoing
in-house or individuals bringing a claim or defending themselves
against their employer or in matrimonial cases, we also provide

All our procedures for the collection and handling of data are in line with current ACPO guidelines and with the appropriate civil procedure rules that we keep under constant review. Our consultants are members of the UK Register of Expert Witnesses and the Society of Expert Witnesses. All procedures and guidelines for the collection and handling of data are based on the four guiding principles of the current version of the Good Practice Guide for Computer-Based Electronic Evidence produced by the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO). These principles are: Principle 1: No action taken by law enforcement agencies or their agents should change data held on a computer or storage media which may subsequently be relied upon in court. Principle 2: In exceptional circumstances, where a person finds it necessary to access original data held on a computer or on storage media, that person must be competent to do so and be able to give evidence explaining the relevance and the implications of their actions. Principle 3: An audit trail or other record of all processes applied to computer based electronic evidence should be created and preserved. An independent third party should be able to examine those processes and achieve the same result. Principle 4: The person in charge of the investigation (the case officer) has overall responsibility for ensuring that the law and these principles are adhered to. |
