Digital evidence + legal technology
Defensible collection and handling of mobile digital evidence.
Secure Evidence is a guided hardware and software platform being developed for the controlled capture, preservation and handling of mobile communications and digital material.
The problem
Legal and investigative teams need to collect relevant messages, images and files without creating avoidable handling errors. Manual transfer methods make scope, repeatability, legal hold and chain-of-custody evidence difficult to manage.
The response
The product direction combines a portable capture station with a guided matter workflow. An authorised operator identifies the custodian and collection scope, connects the device and produces a preserved, traceable evidence package.
Core capabilities
Create the matter, identify the custodian and define what the collection is authorised to capture.
Acquire selected communications, images and files through a repeatable operator workflow.
Hashing, timestamps and collection records support later verification of captured material.
Record handling events, operators, devices and transfers from collection through delivery.
Preserve scoped material and maintain a record of the hold instruction and collection activity.
Produce organised evidence packages for authorised legal review and downstream systems.

Current product reality
The capture-station hardware concept and operating workflow are in prototype development. Validation, platform-specific acquisition testing, security review and legal-process review remain required. It is not presented as a certified forensic acquisition product.
