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.

Data365 Evidence preserves devices, accounts, and digital information before routine use, deletion, retention limits, access changes, or device turnover.

Founder-led specialist service focused on digital evidence preservation. Service boundaries, deliverables, governance materials, sample documents, and intake materials are available to review before intake. Matter scope is confirmed through written intake and authorization. Professional memberships include ACEDS and the Private Detectives Association of Massachusetts.

  • Controlled intake: matter authority, relevant sources, and the initial handling path are confirmed before technical handling begins.
  • Custody continuity: handling and transfer records track the actual receipt, handling, and delivery sequence.
  • Neutral handling: preservation activity remains separate from later analysis, review, or expert activity unless separately retained.
  • Available before intake: service boundaries, deliverables, governance materials, sample documents, and intake guidance are available to review before intake. Matter scope is confirmed through written intake and authorization.
