Computer forensics, also known as digital forensics, is a practice that examines digital evidence and recovers data to be used in a civil or criminal legal proceeding. The process of investigating digital evidence must be conducted in a forensically sound manner to ensure court admissibility. Computer forensics also provides a means for "e-discovery" or "electronic discovery", which allows for disclosure of the digital evidence for parties involved in litigation. Indications of data theft, employee theft, employee compliance and policy violation, embezzlement, fraud, and other cyber crimes can be uncovered during a computer forensic examination.

Forensic Discoveries specializes in assisting corporate investigations to determine if intellectual property has been stolen by departing employees. Employee theft can be devastating to the health of a business. Occurrences of employee theft, which include stealing of customer and vendor lists, marketing materials, business plans, and trade secrets, are growing every year. As a result, civil and criminal litigation for these types of cyber crimes is also on the rise.
