As with computer forensics, mobile phone forensics refers to the process of extracting, analysis and reporting on evidential data contained on a variety of mobile electronic devices.
While such devices contain similar digital content to computers there are some additional investigatory dimensions related to the existence of communications related content (voice recording and text messaging) and logging of both activity and location.
The proliferation of mobile phones (93% of UK adults own one) and devices has been accompanied by a massive increase in people using them to conduct a variety of electronic transactions.
Mobile phones and devices store a great deal of valuable personal and commercial information.  This means that forensic analysis of them is now frequently required to understand their use as criminal tools (e.g. in fraud cases) or as digital media containing data that can be used as evidence.
Disklabs provides mobile phone forensics services for a variety of clients;  defence solicitors, law enforcement agencies and the business sector. We have a team of experts working in a state of the art forensic laboratory operating to ACPO guidelines to create a rigorous chain of evidence.
One of the key challenges for any mobile phone forensics supplier is that there are greater number of variances in the way mobile phones operate than with computers.  This means that multiple tools and techniques are required to extract data from all devices. Disklabs has risen to that challenge and we utilise the latest technology to stay ahead of the game.
The Disklabs forensics team has the capability to extract data that has been lost, damaged, deleted or encrypted including;
• SMS text messages
• Emails
• Call logs

Separately Disklabs also provides a Cell Site Analysis service that cross references call logs with readings from cell site masts to understand the location, movement and use of a mobile device.
Our mobile phone forensics services are used by a variety of clients.
