Mobile phone, SIM & PC Forensics
Technology can often be our worst enemy
We offer mobile phone, SIM card and PC Forensic services to the public and commercial clients*. Previous assignments have included acting on behalf of a solicitors firm with instructions to retrieve information from a mobile phone with the owners permission.
Our service offers counter measures also, for instance, if you suspect your children, partner or work staff of using a PC unlawfully we have the technology to survey their activity.
In most cases, mobile phones will retain much of the information it receives, leaving a carbon copy of a very small file on the SIM card. With the appropriate software and equipment, this can be retrieved and converted into a transcript.
Another service we offer to clients is more of a safety feature for children or lone workers. By installing software on the subjects phone, it will allow you to monitor the movement and position anywhere in the world. An excellent safety feature which has proven to save lives.

Q. Can we monitor our staffs computer activity at our workplace
A. This is possible, however, you must ensure that you fully comply with the Human Rights Act and that staff are informed before the monitoring takes place.
Q. We are holding a private business meeting and need to ensure that no recording devices or phones are transmitting the conversations of the meeting. Can we block any electronic communications being transmitted outside the room.
A. If you have the permission of the other persons present then it is possible to block any signals being transmitted from the room and there are various types of equipment that can be used. There is of course a number of issues to contend with to ensure legal compliance. However, in practice it is best to "sweep" the room for recording equipment or phones and ensure all persons refrain from entering the room with any recording equipment or transmitting devices (Bugs/phones/spy gadgets etc) each person should be swept for devices to ensure total security and prevent any breach of information
Q. I think I/my office/work is being bugged what do I do?
A. First off all, refrain from using your regular phone or email to contact us. Either use a public phone or a completely neutral line/email that has no connection with you whatsoever, like a hotel or pay phone for example. Contact us and we can arrange a consultation. Depending on the level of breach it is imperative that you do not discuss intricate details over the phone in case there is anything about your person that may be recording your conversation.
