Why use a third-party organization for your digital forensics and investigation needs?
There are several compelling reasons to rely on third-party investigators rather than assigning internal staff for a forensic computer analysis or cyber related investigation.
First, trained and experienced digital forensic examiners possess the technical know-how to handle all aspects of the investigation from legally defensible preservation of data, to the analysis, to issuing a final report that is understandable and gives the client the needed details to make informed decisions.
Second, it can avoid real or perceived conflicts of interest when dealing with matters such as insider threats.
Third, while hiring external investigators may seem costly upfront, having the experience can mean a more efficient level of work that will save money in the long term by preventing costly errors, avoiding legal complications, and reducing down-time caused by internal staff taking on the additional tasks outside of their core responsibilities.
Last, external investigators can assist with conducting inquiries in a more discreet manner which is important in highly sensitive matters.
