Fulcrum Data Forensics Ltd is a new company run by professionals who have a wealth of experience within the arena of both data forensics and criminal law enforcement. We fully understand the unique nature of digital evidence and always comply with the latest best practices and methodologies. At the same time, we comprehend the need for plain English and clear reporting when dealing with clients who simply need our assistance in establishing the facts of a case.

The widespread use of information technology, both privately and within the workplace, has lead to data forensics playing a vital role within a wide range of investigations:

Pat later moved to the Office of Fair Trading, setting up a new computer forensics unit within the Competition Enforcement Team. Investigating illegal price fixing, bid rigging and market sharing, Pat gained valuable experience in dealing with large corporate IT networks. 2005 saw a move to an international firm of Risk Consultants, working both in support of the law enforcement community and assisting clients with internal investigations.
