Forensic Evidence Collection & Preservation Services for Legal, Corporate, and Government Investigations
Ensure the Integrity of Your Evidence with Array’s Accredited, Secure, and Forensically Sound Data Preservation and Collection Techniques.
Reliable Digital Forensics Evidence Collection and Preservation
At Array, we understand that a defensible case starts with reliable evidence. Preservation is one of the most critical aspects of digital forensics—if a device is tampered with after a significant event, it’s like walking through a crime scene and leaving your fingerprints everywhere.
Whether you have a single mobile device or a fleet of computers, we handle each case with precision. Our forensic data acquisition methods are write-protected and verified using hash algorithms for court-admissible integrity. Every collection is tracked with strict chain-of-custody protocols to ensure accountability and defensibility.

Get the Digital Evidence You Need
We specialize in digital evidence preservation across a variety of devices, including:
- Email Servers
- Desktop or Laptop Computers
- Network Shares
- Mobile Devices
- Backup Devices
Even in the most challenging cases, where standard forensic tools fail, Array steps in with advanced techniques like JTAG and chip-off forensics to ensure that data is recovered, analyzed, and preserved for your case.
What Data Can Be Recovered?
We retrieve a wide range of digital evidence that may be crucial to your case:
- Emails, search histories, and documents from computers
- Deleted files, text messages, photos, and GPS location data from mobile devices
- Network share data and server logs
If your device is physically damaged or tampered with, our JTAG and chip-off recovery methods can be employed to recover data that would otherwise be inaccessible.
JTAG & Chip-Off Forensics: Advanced Data Recovery Techniques
What is JTAG?
JTAG (Joint Test Action Group) is an advanced technique used to recover data directly from mobile devices via Test Access Ports (TAPs). This method provides direct access to the device's memory, ensuring data recovery from devices that standard tools cannot access.
What is Chip-Off Forensics?
Chip-off forensics involves physically removing the memory chip from a device when other recovery methods, like JTAG, fail. Although this method is more invasive, it boasts a high success rate for recovering data from severely damaged devices.
Why Choose Array for Evidence Collection & Preservation?
-
“Travis County Sheriff’s Office engaged [Array’s] digital forensics laboratory in 2015 to assist with a criminal investigation that involved a computer which was configured with a RAID 0, spanned disks, and additional hard drives. In all, the computer contained a total of eight (8) hard drives, and the case also involved a cell phone and a tablet. Despite the immense amount of data contained by the devices, which was about 6 Terabytes worth of storage, they completed their forensic examination within an incredibly swift turnaround time of under two weeks. The examination included forensically-imaging the devices, rebuilding the RAID arrays and spanned disks, conducting the actual analysis of data evidence, and producing an official laboratory report.”
