Government departments, defence-industry suppliers and Canberra’s corporate and legal organisations rely on recovered electronic data as evidence — from mobile phones, computers, tablets and cloud accounts. Accidental deletion, device damage, malware or a disputed record can all put critical data at risk, and only data recovered through a forensic process can be relied upon in an investigation or in court.
The difference between a forensic recovery and a consumer “data recovery” attempt is decisive: the wrong approach can overwrite evidence permanently and render it inadmissible.
