Methodology
Every analysis follows the same steps, documented from the intake of the device to the handover of the report. Each stage leaves a document, so the path of the device and its data can be reconstructed in full.

- Identifying the applicant
The identity of the owner or legal representative, and their authority, are checked before intake.
- Custody register
Every movement of the device is recorded: who had it, when and for what purpose, until it is returned.
- No bypassing of security
The passcode is not forced or bypassed. Analysis is done only with the device unlocked by its owner.
- A verifiable report
The report shows the source of every item and what couldn't be read, and why, so the result can be checked.
