Cyber Forensic Products
Cyber forensic products support authorised examination and analysis of digital material. Selection should match the investigation workflow, supported data sources and evidence handling requirements.

Methods and findings
From input to action.
- 01
Confirm authority and document receipt
The organisation establishes the authorised scope and records the material received through its evidence handling procedure.
- 02
Preserve the source
The examiner selects an appropriate preservation approach for the device or media and documents actions that could affect its state.
- 03
Acquire supported data
A validated tool obtains data within its supported capabilities. Acquisition method and completeness depend on the source and tool.
- 04
Verify and examine
Where applicable, integrity checks support verification of the acquired data. Examiners use a working copy and document their methods.
- 05
Analyse the relevant findings
An authorised analyst assesses extracted information against the investigation questions and checks tool output in context.
- 06
Report methods and limitations
The report records the process, findings and relevant limitations, with handling and retention managed by the organisation.
This explains a typical operating principle, not a specification for a particular model. Final devices, interfaces, safety logic and acceptance criteria are confirmed during project design.
Where it fits
Authorised digital investigation and forensic lab workflows.
Plan the right configuration
Confirm supported sources, licensing, validation, training and documentation. Establish evidence handling procedures separately for each organisation.

Before you specify.
What should be included in a cyber forensic products enquiry?
Confirm supported sources, licensing, validation, training and documentation. Establish evidence handling procedures separately for each organisation. Include the general site context, intended use and expected timeline.
Are all configurations and capabilities the same?
No. The model, software configuration and integration scope determine the available features. Confirm specifications and acceptance criteria for your project before procurement.
