The New Corporate Investigation Landscape
Key Trends Driving Demand
- 81% of SEC cases now involve mobile device evidence (2025 SEC Report)
- $3.7M average cost of BYOD-related compliance failures (Gartner 2024)
- Zero-trust mandates under NIS2 require device-agnostic forensics
Enterprise Pain Points
Next-Gen Mobile Forensic Capabilities
1. Remote Collection Framework
Four-Tier Approach
- Device Enrollment
- MDM integration (Intune/Jamf) for policy-based access
- Legal hold automation via API triggers
- Targeted Acquisition
- Isolate corporate containers (Android Enterprise/Apple BYOD)
- Selective app data extraction (Teams/Slack artifacts)
- Encrypted App Forensics
- Signal DB decryption via biometric key derivation
- WhatsApp Cloud backup analysis (iOS forensic state)
- Cloud Synchronization
- AzureAD/Workspace account linkage
- iCloud backup differential analysis
2. Enterprise Investigation Matrix
| Challenge | Legacy Solution | Modern Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Physical Collection | Device seizure | ADB/WiFi Direct acquisition |
| Full Imaging | 128GB dump | Targeted logical extraction |
| Messaging Access | Jailbreak required | API-based app forensics |
| Privacy Compliance | Manual redaction | AI-powered PII filtering |
