Digital Forensic Services
Court-Admissible Digital Forensic Analysis in Dubai
Chain-of-custody disk imaging, file-system timeline reconstruction, mobile device extraction, and expert witness reporting — conducted by qualified engineers in a controlled environment.
Digital forensics is the disciplined process of acquiring, preserving, and analysing electronic evidence in a manner that maintains its integrity and admissibility in legal proceedings. Unlike standard data recovery — which prioritises retrieving files — forensic work demands a documented, repeatable methodology where every action is recorded and every piece of evidence is handled under strict chain-of-custody protocols.
MORE Datarecovery has supported legal firms, corporate HR departments, regulatory bodies, and law enforcement agencies across the UAE since 2001. Our engineers apply internationally recognised forensic standards to every engagement, producing findings that withstand scrutiny in UAE courts, arbitration panels, and regulatory reviews.
What We Do
Forensic Services
Every engagement follows a documented, repeatable methodology — from intake to final report.
Forensic Disk Imaging & Acquisition
Bit-for-bit forensic acquisition of HDDs, SSDs, USB drives, memory cards, and RAID arrays using hardware write-blockers. Every forensic image is hash-verified (MD5 and SHA-256) immediately after acquisition to confirm integrity. A documented chain-of-custody record is maintained from intake through to delivery of findings.
File System & Timeline Analysis
Detailed reconstruction of file-system activity across NTFS, FAT32, exFAT, HFS+, APFS, ext3/4, and other common file systems. We establish precise chronological records of file creation, modification, access, and deletion events — producing structured timelines suitable for legal review and court submission.
Deleted, Hidden & Concealed Data Recovery
Recovery of deleted, overwritten, or intentionally concealed files using advanced file-carving, metadata analysis, and artifact reconstruction techniques. Applicable to litigation support, HR investigations, fraud detection, and regulatory compliance audits.
Mobile Device Forensics
Logical and physical extraction of data from smartphones and tablets — including call logs, SMS and messaging app data, emails, GPS history, browser activity, installed applications, and cloud-synced artifacts — for use in legal proceedings or internal investigations.
Forensic Diagnosis Report
A structured written report documenting the condition of the storage device, the acquisition methodology, hash verification results, findings summary, and a chronological record of all actions taken. Reports are prepared to a standard suitable for submission to UAE courts, regulatory bodies, and legal counsel.
Expert Witness & Court Testimony
Our engineers are available to provide expert witness statements and, where required, to appear before UAE courts or arbitration panels to explain forensic findings, methodology, and conclusions in plain language.
Corporate & HR Investigations
Confidential forensic support for internal investigations involving suspected data exfiltration, policy violations, intellectual property theft, unauthorised access, or employee misconduct. All work is conducted under strict confidentiality with documented findings delivered to designated stakeholders only.
Ransomware & Malware Analysis
Forensic examination of storage media affected by ransomware or malware — identifying the attack vector, scope of encryption or damage, affected files, and any recoverable data. Findings are documented and can support insurance claims, regulatory notifications, or legal action.
Evidence Integrity
Why Chain-of-Custody Matters
In any legal or regulatory context, the value of digital evidence depends entirely on how it was collected and handled. A forensic image acquired without write-blocking, or evidence transferred without a documented audit trail, can be challenged and excluded from proceedings.
- 1
Write-Blocked Acquisition
Every device is connected via hardware write-blockers before any imaging begins. This guarantees the original media is never modified during the acquisition process.
- 2
Hash Verification
MD5 and SHA-256 hashes are computed immediately after acquisition and again before analysis. Matching hashes prove the forensic copy is identical to the original.
- 3
Documented Audit Trail
Every action — from intake to delivery — is logged with timestamps, engineer identifiers, and tool versions. This record accompanies all reports and is available for court review.
- 4
Controlled Environment
All forensic work is conducted in our secure Dubai facility. Access is restricted, and all work is performed on air-gapped forensic workstations to prevent contamination.
