Preservation-First Digital Evidence Handling
Preservation-first handling of devices, accounts, and digital information for legal, insurance, and compliance matters that require controlled intake, disciplined transfer, and clear preservation records from receipt to delivery.
Contact Data365 when a device, account, file set, or claim record requires preservation before routine use, deletion, retention limits, access changes, device turnover, or later review alters what remains available.
