Captures Metadata & System Logs Go beyond files to extract critical context from device usage. Scales for Any Investigation Supports civil litigation, internal audits, cybersecurity breaches, and more. frequently asked questions What is digital forensic imaging, and how does it work? Digital forensic imaging is the process of creating a complete, exact copy of a device’s data at  the bit level. This ensures that active, deleted, and hidden files are preserved without altering the original device, making it a foundational method in digital investigations. Why is forensic imaging crucial for legal and internal investigations? Forensic imaging protects the integrity of digital evidence by preventing data tampering, enabling repeatable analysis, and ensuring the evidence meets legal standards for admissibility in court. How does forensic imaging recover deleted or hidden files better than regular file copying? Unlike traditional file copying, forensic imaging captures all data—including deleted files, hidden partitions, system artifacts, and unallocated space—providing a much more thorough data set for analysis. What types of devices can be examined with digital forensic imaging? Forensic imaging can be performed on desktops, laptops, smartphones, tablets, servers, external hard drives, USBs, and even cloud-based accounts, ensuring full coverage across digital environments.  How long does forensic imaging take, and what affects the timeline? The forensic imaging process typically takes 24 to 72 hours. The timeline depends on factors like device size, encryption, file volume, and the complexity of the data structure. Need Trusted Forensic Imaging? Black Dog Forensics Has You Covered When the accuracy and integrity of digital evidence can make or break your case, forensic imaging is the gold standard.
