Digital Forensics
The purpose of digital forensics is to maintain the integrity of evidence by properly identifying, preserving, analyzing, and presenting electronically stored information using court-accepted methodologies and procedures to maintain legal standards. While used most often on personal computers, digital forensics may be performed on almost any device containing electronic data such as computers, storage media such as thumb drives and CD-ROMs, game consoles, digital cameras, medical equipment, security systems, or scanners and copiers.
Blackthorn Information Security has built a solid reputation of providing exceptional digital forensic services with proven results.

Incident Response
Information security isn’t only about your information out of the hands of the bad guys. It also means keeping it that same information accessable to the right people when it’s needed. Because our team understand IT issues as well as security, we see data security and data availability as both sides of the same coin.
When you have an incident involving a hacking attempt, theft of intellectual property, or other “cyber problem” involving your data, time is not on your side. Especially in these days of increased reporting requirements such as HIPAA, SOX, or state data breach reporting acts. Blackthorn’s experts can get in fast, analyze your problem, and deliver a fix that will work for you. As one of our client’s recently put it: “You guys are like the SWAT Team!”
