Digital Forensic Services, End to End.
From first acquisition to the witness box. Six core services, each conducted to forensic standards with documented, defensible methods.
Independent Review of the Prosecution's Digital Evidence
Independent review of digital material collected by someone else: police briefs, Cellebrite and Axiom extractions, screenshots, metadata and logs. We test what the evidence really shows and what is missing, then report in plain English.
Every Stage of a Digital Evidence Matter
When the Matter Calls for More
Matters that demand specialised technique, court supervision or a fast response.
Something Else? Describe the Matter →Trusted Tools. Defensible Methods.
Every step is documented, repeatable and conducted to accepted standards, so findings withstand scrutiny from opposing experts, counsel and the bench.✓We use the same tools law enforcement use and rely on. As a bonus, you also get a forensic examiner who has been trained on and used these tools in operational environments.
CERTIFIED
How This Plays Out in Practice
A senior engineer resigned to join a competitor. Examination of the returned laptop showed a USB device connected, and 4,200 project files copied, two days before resignation.
One party maintained that key message exchanges never existed. Recovery of deleted chat databases from a device backup produced the full conversation history.
The opposing expert asserted a critical document's creation date. A privileged metadata review showed the timestamp could not be relied upon as claimed.
Common Questions

Why choose Foren6ix over another firm?+
You deal directly with an examiner who has worked at the coalface of digital forensics, and that same examiner handles your matter from start to finish. Bobby Pabla brings 16 years of law enforcement and government investigation experience, so you don't just get someone qualified in digital forensics: you get the experience behind the qualifications. We understand how the other side builds its case, and what it takes for evidence to hold up.
Can you act as an expert witness?+
Yes. We deliver independent forensic analysis, expert reports and testimony for civil, criminal, family and insolvency matters.
How is chain of custody maintained?+
All evidence is handled under strict chain-of-custody protocols, ensuring integrity and admissibility in legal proceedings.
Why not just ask our IT team?+
IT teams keep systems running; forensic examiners preserve evidence. Well-meaning IT investigation routinely overwrites timestamps and access records, often destroying the very evidence that would have proven the case. A forensic process keeps everything admissible.
Will looking through the device myself cause a problem?+
It can. Simply opening files changes metadata, and continued use of a device can permanently overwrite deleted material. If you suspect a device holds evidence: stop using it, don't let anyone "have a look", and call us.
Can you work with us if we're interstate or overseas?+
Yes. Most disclosure and report reviews are done remotely. Devices can be sent by tracked courier under documented chain of custody, or collected on site by arrangement, anywhere in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific.
How long does an examination take?+
It depends on the number of devices, the volume of data and what the matter needs to establish. You get a realistic timeframe in the written estimate before work begins, and matters with court deadlines are prioritised.
Do you supply forensic tools?+
We supply professional-grade forensic tools, software and custom workstations to external teams and organisations.
