A major risk to a business's bottom line today comes not just from their competitors, but from their employees. Some common risks are:

	Customer databases		Pornography
	Business plans		Use of business computers for personal work
	Marketing materials, etc.		Use of business computers for outside ventures

While some of these may sound like minor concerns, and single one, if serious enough, has the power to cause a company serious harm, even threatening the existence of the company itself.

Preventative Forensic Solutions - Key Employee Forensic Imaging


The Single Most Important Thing...
a company can do to protect themselves against having a forensic problem at a later date is to perform what's called a "Forensic Image" of ANY key employee’s hard drive when that employee leaves the company. A “key” employee is any employee that has or had access to sensitive company materials or anything that you wouldn’t want in the hands of a competitor.
Forensic Imaging Is Not The Same Thing...
as making a normal or backup copy of a hard drive. A Forensic Image follows specialized crucial procedures and performs a bit-for-bit copy of every sector on the hard drive. Forensic Images allow for the later recovery of deleted files and deleted email from slack and unallocated space. Forensic images are verified using a precise mathematical value that guarantees that the copy and the original are identical to each other.
Your IT Department Cannot Do This!
While your IT people are very good at what they do, they are not trained in proper forensic techniques. Any copy made internally will likely not be admissible in a court of law and deleted files and emails will not be able to be retrieved. This service needs to be performed by certified Forensic Investigators.
This Forensic Pursuit Service is Quite Inexpensive...
and considering the amounts of money your company can save on a future lawsuit or other legal action, the cost is minimal.

Preventative Forensic Solutions - Hard Drive Wipe and Sanitation (Beyond Any Possible Recovery)


If You Want To Sell...
redistribute, donate, or otherwise dispose of computers with hard drives that at one time contained sensitive data such as credit card numbers, bank accounts, social security numbers, accounting and human resources data, or other restricted information, you need to ensure that data can Never be extracted by Anyone using Any means.
Reformatting The Hard Drive Is Not Enough!
A common misconception is that reformatting a hard drive, or recreating partitions and re-installing the operating system is sufficient to eliminate latent data. It is not! Data has been retrieved from hard drives years after a complete reformat and operating system reinstall.
Forensic Pursuit Can Permanently Sanitize Hard Drives...
to ensure that no data will ever be able to be retrieved using any method of extraction. Our techniques meet the U.S. Department of Defense standards (5220-22.M) and the HIPAA Data Protection Act for permanent data destruction.
