Digital Evidence Management Automation

Let your AI agent handle evidence logging, chain-of-custody tracking, and integrity checks—so you can focus on investigations, not paperwork.

If you're a digital forensics analyst, you know the pain of logging evidence in Excel, updating chain-of-custody in Word, and emailing updates to your team. It's tedious, error-prone, and easy to miss a step—especially when juggling multiple cases.

An AI agent that automates cataloging, chain-of-custody, and verification of digital forensic evidence for analysts.

What this replaces

Log new evidence items in Excel spreadsheets
Update chain-of-custody records in SharePoint manually
Calculate and record file hashes using FTK Imager
Compile preservation reports from multiple Word documents

The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In technology and legal investigations, digital forensics analysts spend hours each week manually recording evidence details in spreadsheets, updating chain-of-custody logs in SharePoint, and verifying file hashes with standalone tools like FTK Imager. These repetitive tasks eat into time that should be spent analyzing cases. Manual entry leads to inconsistent records, missed updates, and increased risk of mistakes during audits.

AI Agent FAQ

Yes, the agent can process exports from EnCase, FTK Imager, and Relativity. Simply upload the relevant files or provide access, and the agent will extract metadata, catalog items, and generate logs automatically.

All evidence records include cryptographic hash values (SHA-256 or MD5) calculated at intake and on demand. The agent never stores actual evidence files—only logs and metadata. All communications are encrypted using TLS 1.3.

The agent produces detailed, timestamped chain-of-custody logs suitable for legal review. Outputs are formatted for audit trails and can be exported as PDFs for court submission. You should verify outputs against your jurisdiction’s standards.

The agent can document files, disk images, USB drives, mobile device extractions, and cloud storage exports. You specify the evidence type and the agent structures the record accordingly.

Currently, the agent handles evidence records in English. Support for additional languages is planned for future updates.
