Professional and Validated Collections of ESI
Collect ESI is a specialized legal support organization, dedicated to the authenticated remote forensic collection of ESI for litigation, arbitration and internal investigations. For 15 years we have been serving eDiscovery service providers, litigation support departments and inhouse compliance groups. All ESI collected is forensically validated, with full audit and chain of custody documentation created and maintained. Data sources offered include mobile devices, cloud and on-premise based email, cloud storage, websites and webpages and online and in-cloud backups.
Collection from M365, GMail, Hotmail, Outlook.com, Yahoo!, AOL, GoDaddy, Proton, Bloomberg and many others. Captured email is delivered as either individual EML/MSG files or collated into a single PST for downstream processing. Date filtering options available.
Collaboration Tools
Slack, MS Teams and other IM based collaboration tools can be remotely collected, parsed and separated. This includes private/public channels and DM’s in Slack. There are a variety of delivery options available for downstream review, including processing to PDF, Excel and RSMF.
Secure Cloud Storage
Supported collections include Amazon S3, Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive and OneDrive for Business. Delivery options include L01 and AD1 forensic images, as well as zip files and raw data exports. We recommend forensic images where possible, to preserve the metadata of the files collected.
Mobile Devices
Apple and Android mobile devices can be collected remotely, with ease. Options includes a full image, or just the specific ESI that you want extracted (i.e. text messages only, WhatsApp, etc.). Deliverable options include Excel spreadsheets, PDF’s, Load file and RSMF.
Computers
The targeted or complete forensic collection of laptops and desktops is performed with ease of use in mind for the data custodians. A simple process with minimal custodian interaction, allows for efficient and validated collections of laptops and desktop computers (MS Windows based PC’s only).
Websites & Webpages
Whether it’s an entire website, single webpage, or social media posts, CollectESI provide offline functioning websites and webpages as well as static PDF files, with certified validation. This assures you that the evidence collected is exact and verifiable. Date and time stamps are present on all deliverables.
