The Personal Computer has had a more substantial impact on our daily lives than any other technology in history. But, like all advances in technology, it comes with a price.

Almost every desk and cubicle in America has a computer. These computers contain the company’s financial information, customer databases, product information, trademark secrets, and credit card or shipping information on each customer. These computers have become essential to the effective and efficient operation of any business.

What happens when the employees use these same computers to harm the company or it’s clientele? What happens when the people you’ve trusted, use your computers to commit illegal acts; such as Identity Theft or fraudulent billing? What happens when your employees use their knowledge of your computer system to steal from you?

Home computers are every bit as important to our personal lives as they are to our professional lives. We use the computer to shop online, and share photos or daily events with family and friends.

But what happens when this same computer allows a sexual predator into your home and into your child’s life? How do you know when your child has shared their plans to run away with a friend through e-mail? Where do you find the proof that your spouse is using the Internet to find or communicate with someone else?

While the use of any computer is as different as the owners themselves, the one aspect that is common with all computers is…the collection of information. In simple terms: a computer stores all information, even before this data is displayed or printed. Because the storage of this information is solely for operational purposes, it is difficult to locate and retrieve. This process requires very specialize training and knowledge.

Law Enforcement professionals discovered quickly that the ability to retrieve computer datad would prove instrumental in the prosecution of criminals. This community developed techniques to locate information and make it retrievable, techniques that have aided Law Enforcement in the prosecution of criminals and in the safeguarding of many children.

These same tools and techniques are now available to you and your company by Tri-Analysis, Inc. With over 50 years of combined law enforcement/investigation/experience; our forensic analysts have successfully recovered deleted web photographs, e-mails, financial records, instant messages, Internet histories, and recently printed documents. We search your magnetic media (hard drives, flash drives, etc.) for any and all information you deem relevant to your specific situation.

•  Can Tri-Analysis find hidden, deleted files or photographs on my computer? What about pictures viewed on the internet?

Yes. Because of the way a computer processes data, it is extremely difficult for an average computer user to delete photos and/or data that our technicians cannot retrieve. Our technicians use state of the art software, combined with years of experience retrieving data for criminal prosecution, to help you find what others can’t.

•  I have an employee whom I believe is using our client’s financial information to purchase items online for themselves. I have asked our company’s computer techs but they tell me there is no way to prove it but I need to know of how big a problem this is. Can you help me find out and to provide me the evidence I need to terminate the employee?

Yes, Tri-Analysis can help you, in several different ways. Our technicians can conduct a forensic analysis of your computer systems to locate evidence of the activity, using techniques previously reserved for law enforcement investigations. Tri-Analysis also has skilled investigators with years of experience investigating white-collar crime. Conducting a more traditional investigation, to compliment the forensic analysis, will ensure that you get a complete picture of the damage caused to your company.

Yes.  Our technicans have been able to recover sent and received emails from years earlier on computers. Tri-Analysis has been able to locate and recovery recently printed documents or photographs from a computer as well.
