Forensic Spyware and Malware Detection

Commercial-grade spyware is no longer the preserve of nation-states. Mercenary spyware, zero-day exploits, and covert monitoring tools are now deployed against executives, board members, high-net-worth individuals, and organisations — silently turning a phone, computer, or tablet into a surveillance device that captures exactly what matters most: confidential strategy, privileged communications, credentials, and movements.

NSI Global forensically detects, isolates, and documents spyware and malware on mobile devices, computers, tablets, and servers. Using industry-leading forensic tools (including Cellebrite, Oxygen, Magnet), we identify covert monitoring software installed without the owner’s express or implied knowledge, and preserve the findings to a standard suitable for legal or investigative use.

Whether you are acting for an organisation — as an executive, in-house counsel, or security lead — or you are an individual who has been personally targeted, the priority when compromise is suspected is the same: preserve the evidence before it is remotely wiped or altered.

Why Choose NSI Global

NSI Global’s Digital Forensic Unit uses law-enforcement forensic platforms — including Cellebrite, Oxygen and Magnet — which are sold only to vetted law-enforcement, government and authorised forensic customers, not on the open market. Our experts forensically analyse device behaviour to detect spyware—particularly on mobile phones—and identify how malware entered a device (for example via a missed messaging call or infected link). We examine devices for indicators of known spyware and malware, and for anomalies that may point to previously undocumented exploits. Where malware has deleted data, recovery may be possible depending on the device and what has happened since. Our team also performs Technical Surveillance Counter Measures (TSCM) bug sweeps to identify covert listening devices at your premises. By combining these services, our risk advisory specialists help identify and fortify security weaknesses.

NSI Global’s forensic investigators have been uncovering hidden spyware, malware and zero‑day exploits for more than 20 years.

Reports are supported by hash verification so the integrity of the evidence can be checked, and we work alongside your legal advisers. Our practice is led by founder Navid Sobbi, who has given expert evidence in Australian courts.

Additionally, we offer related investigatory services—from corporate investigations to due diligence—that support clients in managing broader risks.

You should never use general data‑recovery software after a malware incident; a forensic examination preserves the evidence and avoids overwriting what may still be recoverable.

Untrained examiners can destroy evidence or miss it entirely — a reset device, an opened app, or a careless extraction can overwrite exactly what a court needs to see. Our forensic examiners use law-enforcement forensic platforms and track current mercenary-spyware and exploit developments.

If you suspect a device or premises has been compromised, act carefully: leave the suspected device behind, and call us from an associate’s device, away from the area of concern, so you don’t alert whoever may be monitoring you.

Where appropriate, we can arrange a confidential consultation at our secure, radio-shielded office in Parramatta — under 24-hour surveillance and fortified against covert eavesdropping.

PLEASE NOTE: NSI GLOBAL WILL NOT PROVIDE SERVICES TO ANY INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF ANY LAW ENFORCEMENT INVESTIGATION.
