What is Forensic?

Forensic" means "forensics" and originally referred to forensic investigations conducted by the police in criminal investigations to find forensic and legal evidence, and to investigations to collect and analyze evidence. Forensics in the IT field refers to the collection of information from computers and other devices and networks to understand and clarify damage, and to search for legal evidence and clues.

What is a forensic investigation?

A forensic investigation is an investigation conducted in the event of an incident such as internal fraud or information leakage, etc. In 2006, forensic investigations, especially digital forensics, became instantly popular after it was used in the investigation of the "Livedoor Incident". Digital forensics has also been used by "third-party committees" in cases of public scandals. Digital forensics has become indispensable in the investigation of computer crimes, data tampering, and other crimes that make use of digital methods. Digital forensics plays a role in thoroughly analyzing information obtained from digital devices related to a case and leading to the truth.

STEP 1

Hearing

Please tell us the details of the trouble (incident) by phone or inquiry form. After hearing your request for the number of units to be surveyed, survey items, time frame, etc., we will plan a survey plan and estimate the cost of the survey.
If the situation is urgent, we will provide a simple estimate and implement the minimum necessary measures (e.g., data preservation) immediately after receiving your consent. We will conclude a nondisclosure agreement (NDA) before conducting a detailed hearing.

STEP 2

Data Preservation

We securely preserve all data, including deleted data, such as documents, emails, chat history, etc., from PCs, smartphones, and tablets to be investigated in an unalterable format. Our know-how gained from more than 2,200 digital forensic investigations enables us to preserve data with an "international standard of evidence" that is useful even in U.S. lawsuits.

STEP 3

Survey

Investigate and analyze conservation data using our self-developed AI "KIBIT". We find relevant evidence from a large amount of data. Even if data has been erased or encrypted to hide evidence, we can analyze the data in various ways, such as restoring erased data or decrypting password-protected files. FRONTEO's advanced technology also makes it possible to safely retrieve and investigate data even if the data is located in areas with strong restrictions on taking information out of the country, such as the United States or South Korea, by using hashing technology, which replaces the original data with an irregular string of characters to make it unreadable to third parties.

STEP 4

Review

Our reviewers scrutinize highly relevant emails and documents derived by our self-developed AI "KIBIT" to discover "truly relevant evidence. Our team of highly skilled reviewers, including licensed attorneys, graduates of law schools and law schools, and fluent English speakers, ensures both speed and high quality even within a limited work schedule.

STEP 5
