Workplace Matters Where Digital Evidence May Help

Digital evidence can assist with fact-finding in a variety of employment and workplace matters, including:

  • Employee misconduct and policy violations
  • Harassment and inappropriate communications
  • Theft, copying, or misuse of company information
  • Misuse of company computers, phones, or other resources
  • Data deletion or destruction
  • Unauthorized use of storage devices or removable media
  • Questions involving email, messaging, internet activity, or application use

Digital Evidence We May Examine

The evidence source depends on the allegation, device ownership, authorization, and the scope established by the client and counsel.

  • Company computers and laptops
  • Mobile devices when authorized and relevant
  • Email and messaging data made available for examination
  • Documents, files, and file activity
  • Internet and application activity
  • Connected-device and USB artifacts when available
  • Deleted and hidden data when technically recoverable

A Focused, Discreet Examination

CAER recognizes that workplace investigations can involve confidential personnel, legal, and company information.

  • Workplace matters can involve sensitive personnel and company information
  • CAER works with the authorized client and, when applicable, counsel to define the scope of the examination
  • The examination can be focused on specific allegations, dates, custodians, devices, or categories of information
  • Findings are communicated clearly so decision-makers can understand the relevant digital evidence
