Mobile Device Proliferation
As ubiquitous societal components, mobile (or cellular) telephones continue to become increasingly prevalent. With a shrinking footprint and a seemingly ever-increasing storage capacitance, these devices can be warehouses of information about our daily lives. Just as mobile phones permeate our social fabric, they are also becoming more and more crucial as evidentiary devices in civil and criminal investigations. Thus, our law enforcement, corporate, and private investigation communities are grasping for ways to get evidence off each and every mobile device. Some tools and techniques exist for such investigative work; however, there is not yet one good solution. The various manufacturers, models, operating systems, protocols, and cables lend to a combinatorial explosion that leaves most investigators grasping for a cohesive solution. Smart Phone Forensics provides these solutions for your agency or corporations specific needs.

Tools and Techniques
With over so many different hardware and software products (20+) available for all facets of mobile device forensics, it is difficult for the novice investigator to begin working in this field. It is the expertise of the staff of Smart Phone Forensics that makes this a simple task. Specific tasks require specific techniques. In the field of mobile device forensics, this is especially true. Knowing how and when to preserve mobile device evidence is as crucial as knowing which is the correct tool for the forensics acquisition.

Again, this is where the staff expertise of Smart Phone Forensics can make this possible.

Documentation and Standards
There are several standard documents on mobile device forensics, mostly from the National Institute of Standards and Technology. These documents provide general guidance on the forensic acquisition and analysis of mobile devices, such as cell phones and PDAs. Where these documents end is where the staff at Smart Phone Forensics add their expertise.
