Forensic Lab Design by Someone Who Has Built One.

Standing up a digital forensic capability is more than buying tools. Foren6ix designs and builds forensic laboratories and workstations for government agencies and corporate teams across Australia and the Pacific — from physical layout and evidence storage through to hardware specification, software tooling, evidence-handling workflows and accreditation-ready procedures. Our principal founded the Digital Forensic Unit at PNG’s Independent Commission Against Corruption, so the advice comes from having done it, not just specified it.

From Empty Room to Operating Unit

We scope the caseload the unit must handle, design the physical and network architecture around evidence integrity, specify and build workstations, install and configure tooling, and document the standard operating procedures examiners will actually follow.

Built for Accreditation

Procedures are drafted with ISO/IEC 17025 and ISO/IEC 27037 alignment in mind, so the unit can pursue accreditation when ready rather than retrofitting compliance later.

// Common questions
Can you build capability in Pacific jurisdictions?+

Yes — lab design and capability building across PNG, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga and the wider Pacific is a core part of our practice, delivered on site and remotely.

Do you train the examiners as well?+

Yes. Builds typically include tool onboarding, workflow training and ongoing mentoring so the team is productive from day one.

Can you upgrade an existing lab rather than build new?+

Absolutely. We audit existing setups, identify gaps in tooling, procedure or evidence handling, and deliver a prioritised upgrade plan.
