I perform a wide range of investigative and security related services, including the common types of issues and requests. However, my technical background allows me to also provide specialized services which most agencies simply cannot offer. I specialize in providing services involving electronic technologies including digital and analogue forensics, communications, imaging, and related recorded media analysis. The specialized services which I commonly provide include “Collection of Scientific Investigative Evidence” (CSIE), “Electronic Media Analysis or Enhancement” (EMAE), “Data Recovery” & “Digital Forensics and Incident Response” (DFIR), “Cyber‐Threat Risk Analysis” (CTRA), “Technical Surveillance Countermeasures & Management” (TSCM), and “Forensic Psychophysiology” (Polygraph Examinations).
