Digital Forensics Platform
Initializing secure workspace...
Digital forensic evidence requires careful handling, controlled access, and traceable activities. FORENSIQ is designed around security-focused workflows that support evidence integrity, accountability, and investigation management.
Access
Role-based
Integrity
SHA-256 checks
Accountability
Audit records
Platform security
Identity and authorization
Authenticated users and role permissions
Protected operations
Controlled access to sensitive functions
Evidence integrity
Cryptographic hash verification
Evidence storage
Controlled storage and protected references
Audit and custody
Traceable investigation activities
Security controls work together across authentication, authorization, evidence handling, and investigation records.
A forensic platform must account for the sensitivity of investigation data and the importance of preserving digital evidence. Security cannot be limited to the login screen. It must also be considered when users access cases, submit evidence, review files, and record investigation activities.
FORENSIQ organizes these responsibilities through role-based access, authentication controls, integrity verification, controlled evidence handling, and audit-oriented workflows.
The platform brings together several security-related capabilities to support controlled investigation workflows.
Access to platform functions is organized around user responsibilities. Administrators, investigators, and analysts work within their designated permissions.
Authentication controls help protect user accounts and restrict access to authenticated platform sessions.
Cryptographic hashing supports integrity checks by allowing calculated hash values to be compared with recorded values.
Important evidence activities and review decisions are documented to support traceability throughout the investigation process.
Evidence storage is managed through controlled storage workflows. Protected storage references are used to associate stored objects with platform records.
Evidence submitted for examination follows a review process. Authorized analysts can verify or reject pending evidence with documented decisions.
Different users perform different tasks during an investigation. FORENSIQ separates these responsibilities through administrator, investigator, and analyst roles.

Role responsibilities
Role names describe the intended access model. Actual access must also be enforced by backend authorization checks on every protected operation; hiding a frontend control alone is not sufficient.
Digital evidence can be sensitive and must be handled carefully. FORENSIQ incorporates SHA-256 hash verification into the evidence review workflow to help detect integrity mismatches between recorded and recalculated file hashes.
Recalculate the stored evidence hash and compare it with the recorded value during review.
Authorized analysts record verification or rejection decisions with appropriate notes.
Preserve records of important evidence actions and review outcomes.
Evidence integrity
Retrieve the stored file through its authorized storage reference.
Generate a new hash from the stored evidence file.
Hash matches
Integrity check passes
Hash differs
Integrity mismatch detected
A matching hash indicates that the compared file content matches the recorded hash. It does not independently prove evidence authenticity, origin, or legal admissibility.
Users should only access the cases, evidence, and operations permitted by their assigned role and authorization.
Hash-based verification helps identify changes to digital evidence during controlled integrity checks.
Important activities should have associated records so investigation teams can review what happened and who performed an action.
Evidence submission, storage, review, and access should follow defined procedures rather than unrestricted file handling.
A secure forensic workflow depends on both platform controls and responsible operational practices. Organizations should maintain secure deployment configurations, restrict server access, protect credentials and secrets, apply updates, back up critical data, and follow documented evidence-handling procedures. FORENSIQ's security features should be evaluated as part of the complete deployment environment.
