It's all in there! Where you bank, where you eat, emails, chats, websites visited, even what movies you ordered from your cable
company and how you socially network. The vast majority of business and legal documents (about 90%) are all created and transmitted
on a computer. Spend a day with one of our forensic investigators or data recovery specialists and you'll fear ever using your computer
again! They are in the business of uncovering things people have forgotten or thought they'd deleted
Computer Forensics and Data Recovery is a serious business. Please do not attempt tricks that you read on the Internet like dropping
the drive or freezing your hard drive. Do not install any software to the drive you wish to recover data from, as you may write over the
very files you seek to recover. It won't work and you can further damage the drive. If you are looking to have data recovered and
produced pursuant to a civil or criminal investigation, it's important to choose the right company from the start. It's also important to
immediately disconnect the computer or device from the network (Internet), unplug the power, or remove the battery source. Never
attempt to install recovery software on the system that you need to recover data from. Call us or another competent professional.

Computer Forensic Investigations and Employment Disputes by Surveillance Specialist Group, a Licensed Private Investigations Agency located in
Brandon, Florida.
The use of computer forensics investigations pursuant to a civil or employment dispute or any other labor and law issue is one of the staples of
Surveillance Specialist Group. Our senior investigator specializes in this area. He has worked on some of the largest civil cases and saved one
company over $110 Million Dollars! Our computer forensics practice was established under the direct supervision of our senior investigator and
forensics director and noted information technology specialist. He has worked on huge civil cases such as “KeySpan vs. Roy Kay Inc.” and other
large cases involving a New Jersey school Principal and the Board of Education. The evidence uncovered by our team not only proved her case, but it
also saved her career not to mention her pension. Our agency has grown significantly since its inception and the reputation of our firm has grown along
with it. Beginning with domestic and corporate disputes in New Jersey and Florida, we have aggressively entered the world of computer forensics and
data recovery.
The cornerstone of our success in this area is the ability to quickly arrive on site and make a forensically sound (legally admissible) image of the hard
drive or media of an executive, employee or business partner that this employer is terminating and feels they may pose a threat to the company. We
then retain this image and hold it in our evidence locker if and until our client needs to have a complete forensics analysis. This should be a common
practice for all companies.
By the time you receive a cause of action against you it could be too late to produce vital data from that computer. In addition it’s probably been used
by others and the data would then be tainted. In other cases we are hired to recover files and e-mails that an employee intentionally deleted from their
computer or your servers. Perhaps they have password protected their files and you need to unlock them. This approach is not only regarding
problem terminations, but is also very prudent for exiting high level executives, employees with handicaps, and employees who have engaged in gross
fraternization.
Many employees leave on their own and attempt to take clients and other material with them. Documenting their connection to these clients and
materials as a result of computer forensics conducted on computers associated with these departed individuals is vital. We are also seriously involved
in computer forensics focused at rooting out criminal activity within an organization. Because we are impartial experienced investigators and from a
respected licensed private agency and not an internal IT guy or a computer repair guy, we are able to provide detective-client privilege to our computer
forensic cases, giving our clients the same protection they would share with their attorney.
We have successfully helped to defend both private and public employers in civil law suits and intricate litigation. Our forensic computer investigations
are likewise heavily involved in the defense of wrongful discharge cases, contract and commission claims, implied employment contract claims,
slander and libel claims, negligence and negligent retention claims, and whistle blower claims. We also have an extensive practice prosecuting and
defending trade secret, breach of fiduciary duty cases and more. Our investigators can provide expert testimony about their forensic data
investigations in court with confidence. If you are an employee or an employer faced with a troubling termination, don’t dismiss it or wait to find out in
the mail. If you suspect an employee of violating a non-compete agreement, misusing corporate assets, spending too much time on the Internet,
visiting inappropriate websites, you suspect that an employee may be involved with some type internal fraud or theft of proprietary data,
call us at 877-787-7075.
Why you should use a professional!
While conducting a data recovery and computer forensics on a divorce case, we discovered that our client’s 40-year-old wife had been having an affair with a 16-
year-old boy who had been working for her. They had been communicating via MySpace and AOL instant messaging. Had the client not hired a professional
computer forensics examiner from a private investigations firm, this evidence would not be usable in a court of law. Therefore it is important for us to treat every
computer forensics or data recovery matter as if it were going to trial. Therefore we adhere to high standards in the retrieval and examination process. We use
hardware that protects the subject media from being written to so that the evidence doesn't become tainted or corrupted.
