Typical data sources
Mobile review draws on the messaging and app data available from the device or account, subject to encryption and access constraints:
- Mobile phones & tablets
- SMS & iMessage
- Telegram & Signal*
- Chat attachments
- Call & message metadata
- App data
Why defensibility matters
Mobile evidence is easily misread when stripped of context. By preserving conversation structure, participants, timestamps and attachments — and by collecting from sound sources with chain of custody — we ensure messages are reviewed accurately and can be relied upon in disclosure or investigation.

Frequently asked questions
