Deep Metadata Analysis

The invisible trail that reveals everything

Metadata is the digital fingerprint of a document—an invisible trail of information that tells the true story of how, when, and where a file was created and modified.

While visible elements like signatures and dates can be manipulated, metadata provides a level of detail that's nearly impossible to alter without leaving a trace. Our cutting-edge tools delve deep to determine whether a document is genuine or manipulated.

Our Process

From suspicion to certainty

A rigorous four-step methodology and a clear, timely, and complete report.

It starts with you. A document surfaces in your investigation—and you are suspicious. Perhaps it is irregular in form, substance, or timing. Maybe the explanation of how it surfaced is implausible, it's a bit too convenient, or "too perfect."

Document fraud and forgery are common. We can help.
