Social Media Forensics Experts in Digital Evidence Collection
Social media forensics is essential in modern digital investigations. At Expert Data Forensics, we collect data from platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube. With social media involved in nearly 90% of criminal cases, this data often plays a critical role in solving them.
Instead of screenshots or archives, we capture content in its native format. This preserves vital metadata, ensuring the evidence remains verifiable and admissible in court. Our workflow supports the full process—from targeted search and collection through production—in one streamlined system.
eDiscovery
Today, social media forensics plays a vital role in both criminal and civil litigation. Platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and webmail often hold critical digital evidence. Therefore, legal and investigative teams must address these sources during discovery—just as they would with devices, emails, or documents.
Until recently, most professionals lacked an efficient way to process this data. Now, with advanced tools and workflows, managing large volumes of online content is not only possible but also practical.
eDiscovery
During capture, we immediately calculate MD5 hash values for every item. This ensures data integrity from acquisition to export. At the same time, our system generates automated logs and reports for complete transparency.
In addition, we integrate directly with social media and web APIs to extract key metadata. This metadata supports the chain of custody and strengthens authentication. As a result, it becomes vital in both identifying relevant evidence and ensuring it holds up in court.
Search
Expert Data Forensics conducts unified searches across multiple accounts, social media platforms, and websites. Our system automatically indexes and searches all linked content. We then aggregate the results, allowing for fast sorting, tagging, and export—all aligned with standard eDiscovery and investigative workflows.
Production
Maintain data in a searchable native format from collection through production, uniquely providing a complete platform to address social media in the same manner as devices, e-mail and e-documents. We can also deliver collected email in PST format while maintaining hierarchical structure.
Collection
Data is collected and indexed from social media streams, linked content and websites through APIs, webmail connectors and direct web navigation. Our tools aggregate data from these multiple sources in real time, in a highly scalable and case-centric manner.
