You can delegate the distractions of project management to NJL’s experienced staff.  At NJL, we build rapport with your client and handle all the communications and interactions involved with scheduling and executing your collection. We travel to the data so you don’t have to deal with multiple vendors. And since all forensic services are performed by NJL staff, you never have to worry about service-quality issues that can result from working with vendors who outsource their collections and services.

As the volume of ESI (electronically stored information) expands, so does the need to collect only relevant data and avoid the irrelevant in order to control costs.  At NJL, we work with you to understand your case fully, then we tailor a collection strategy that delivers rock solid results while being cost conscience and defensible in court. Some of the collection strategies we use are:

Hard Drive Imaging

Making an image of a hard drive means capturing every bit of space that exists on the drive, even the spaces that do not contain active data, which is referred to as slack space.  This approach is the most comprehensive and great for investigative matters, however, it is not necessary for all cases.  The consultants at NJL will help you make the best choice

Pointed Collections

Pointed collections involve identifying and collecting data from only the locations that are most likely to be relevant.  This approach is great for collecting data from users who work in office environments that have well-managed IT infrastructures. There are multiple variables to consider when developing a pointed collection plan, and we can help you map them out.

Filtered Collections

Sometimes, case specifications are clear early on.  If all parties agree on relevant date ranges, file types, or keywords before collection begins, filtering at the point of collection can be a great way to help ensure that the data you are collect is relevant. This approach doesn’t work for every case, but it can be very cost-effective and efficient when circumstances permit.

With our thorough understanding of the latest technologies, NJL delivers fast and reliable service that is documented for defensibility. And since all collections are led by a Certified Computer Examiner (CCE), you can be sure your data collection process is forensically sound and defensible.
