Digital Forensics Platform
Initializing secure workspace...
FORENSIQ provides a structured workflow for managing digital forensic investigations. From case creation and evidence submission to integrity verification and analyst review, each stage is organized around accountability and traceability.

Illustrative workflow — not live investigation data
Digital forensic investigations involve more than collecting files. Evidence must be associated with a case, handled by authorized users, checked for integrity, and supported by appropriate records. FORENSIQ organizes these activities into connected stages so that investigation teams can work with a consistent process.
The workflow below explains how administrators, investigators, and analysts interact with the platform.
Follow the process from initial case registration to ongoing investigation management.
An administrator creates a case, records its details, sets its priority and classification, and assigns the appropriate investigation team.
Team members receive case assignments based on their responsibilities. Each user works within the permissions associated with their role.
Investigators upload relevant files, folders, archives, or supported disk images to the case. Evidence is handled through a controlled submission workflow.
FORENSIQ uses cryptographic hashing to support evidence integrity checks. A SHA-256 hash can be calculated and compared against the stored evidence during verification.
Authorized analysts review pending evidence. They can verify evidence when its integrity checks pass or reject it with an explanation when it does not meet the review requirements.
Evidence-related actions are recorded to support traceability. Custody events and audit records help establish who performed an action and when it occurred.
The investigation team can continue working with available evidence and case documents. Administrators manage the case lifecycle as the investigation progresses.
FORENSIQ separates platform administration, evidence collection, and evidence review through role-based workspaces.
Case and platform management
Creates and manages cases, assigns investigation teams, manages users, and oversees case administration.
Responsibilities
Evidence collection and investigation
Works on assigned cases, submits digital evidence, and provides the information required for examination.
Responsibilities
Evidence examination and review
Reviews submitted evidence, checks integrity information, and records verification or rejection decisions.
Responsibilities
The reliability of a digital forensic investigation depends on how evidence is handled and documented. FORENSIQ incorporates hash-based integrity checks and custody records into its evidence workflow to help teams identify changes and document important actions.
Calculate and compare cryptographic hashes to check whether stored evidence matches its recorded integrity value.
Record analyst verification or rejection decisions with supporting review notes.
Maintain records of important evidence activities and the users responsible for them.
Integrity workflow
Evidence file and associated metadata
Calculate and compare hash values
Integrity matches
Eligible for verification review
Integrity mismatch
Requires rejection or further investigation
A matching hash supports an integrity check. It does not, by itself, establish the authenticity, origin, or admissibility of evidence.
Hash-based checks help identify changes to submitted evidence and support integrity verification.
Custody and audit records help maintain a history of important evidence and case activities.
Role-based permissions help ensure that users access platform functions appropriate to their responsibilities.
Evidence files are handled through the platform's storage workflow, with protected references maintained for stored objects.
Organize investigation cases, coordinate team responsibilities, manage digital evidence, and document important review activities through one platform.
