Proven excellence in technology created opportunities
for Virtual Vision Consulting to explore
and embrace a technical service outside of Business
Intelligence - IT Forensics.
Our experiences with hardware (client and server),
software, R&D, system administration, and data collection/dissemination
are leveraged into a cost-effective Electronic
Discovery and IT Forensics practice.
The division of workflow within IT Forensics and E-Discovery
adheres to the (R)evolution methodology,
allowing for parallel tasks and multiple work locations.
One or more teams separate the underlying tasks to provide
speed, cost-effectiveness, and expertise to the project.

Applying the (R)evolution methodology to Electronic Discovery
and IT Forensics separates the typical project
into the following tasks:
- Analysis - the Virtual
Vision Consulting team is engaged by
the client and the specific situation is evaluated.
An assessment is performed on the accessible
data and systems, backup procedures and recovery,
corporate procedures, and case/regulatory requirements.
Formal documented guidelines for the project,
including system access needs, specific search
terms, and deliverable formats result from this
phase.
- Collection - using methods
and tools approved and recognized by courts,
the Virtual Vision Consulting
team will create multiple software images of
hard drives and supporting files necessary for
the project. Live and cold-boot imaging strategies
are used depending on system availability, and
CRC matching ensures data integrity.
- Investigation - using the
software images gathered in the above Collection
phase, the search terms and/or specific scenarios
are investigated. Original locations, file attributes,
and artifacts are cataloged and appropriate
source files are moved to the delivery media.
- Delivery - depending on the
requirements established within the Analysis
phase, output mechanisms are created for delivery
back to the client. Typical types include catalogs
of files with matching terms, system access
logs, and actual source files.
- Testimony - if required
for litigation or regulatory review purposes,
a senior Virtual Vision Consulting
expert will be prepared and available for support,
including testimony.
