Getting to know EFI

EFI is located in Georgia (just north of Columbus) and provides services throughout the World. We are dedicated to providing superior recovery and examination services using vetted forensic practices. EFI was founded on more than 10 years of education and experience in intelligence operations, technical exploitation, investigations, security and antiterrorism program development and management, and telecommunications operations supporting both the federal government and private corporations. Due to the nature of our business, EFI maintains an extremely high standard of professionalism and ethics. All examinations of electronic media are conducted in accordance with the professional standards recognized by the International Society of Forensic Computer Examiners® and in accordance with The Association of Trial Lawyers of America suggested investigation practices, in that:

1) Real, physical evidence will be legally obtained

2) Real, physical evidence will be properly stored and preserved

3) Information will be accurately and completely recorded

4) All collected evidence will relate to the scope of the case as mandated by court documents or client’s requests

At EFI, we believe one of our more important attributes is recognizing that electronic forensic science is more than just extracting information through automated processes and therefore we place an extraordinary amount of focus on content analysis. This is the process we believe separates computer forensics from computer examination. Anyone with the knowledge to turn-on a computer and click a mouse could probably examine computer media but the forensics in this process lies in one’s ability to piece unique file attributes together, essentially giving the file its own electronic fingerprint, while not contaminating the original media. To give a basic example – 1) locate a file of interest, 2) analysis it for potential relevance to the case, 3) extract the file metadata, 4) analyze the metadata, 5) determine the time of creation, 6) determine the time of last modification, and 7) link this data to a specific creator (LoginID) of the file. This detailed analytical process further assists our efforts in developing comprehensive reports that provide our clients a clear picture concerning our forensic discoveries, making case presentation rather painless.

In dealing with EFI, you can expect to experience dedication to our clients, integrity to our profession, absolute confidentiality protection, thoroughness* in examination, accuracy with analysis, clarity in reporting, and timeliness** of service.

* Court orders may limit our ability to be as thorough as we often desire.

** The measure of timeliness is dependent on the scope of the case. We will always provide all requested services in a timely manner but this process sometimes takes days or even weeks to complete.
