Cape Town • Western Cape • South Africa

Digital forensic services where the evidence requires them.

Digital Detective is based in the Western Cape and accepts suitable digital-forensic, cybercrime, investigative and expert-evidence instructions from across South Africa.

Cape Town and the Western Cape

We assist attorneys, advocates, businesses, investigators and private clients in Cape Town and throughout the Western Cape. Depending on the evidence and instruction, work may involve secure delivery, on-site acquisition, collection from a legal representative, or attendance at a business, police facility, sheriff’s office or other controlled location.

Instructions elsewhere in South Africa

Many matters can be scoped remotely before devices or data are transferred through agreed evidence-preserving arrangements. Where attendance is necessary, travel, access requirements, equipment and chain-of-custody arrangements are confirmed in advance.

Remote consultation and secure transfer

Initial consultations can often be conducted remotely. Original evidence should not be emailed, uploaded to consumer file-sharing services or forwarded through messaging applications until a suitable transfer process has been agreed.

Urgent evidence preservation

Where evidence is volatile, at risk of deletion or linked to an active cyber incident, contact us before resetting, updating, disconnecting or continuing to use the relevant device or account.

Location should not compromise evidence

Plan the transfer or attendance before acting.
