IT investigations
Investigate unexplained technical problems, configuration changes, access concerns and device or software behavior. Review what the available records support and what remains uncertain.
AuditTrace helps individuals, small businesses and organizations investigate technical problems, examine available evidence, understand system changes and make informed decisions.
Lineage without surveillance.
Investigate unexplained technical problems, configuration changes, access concerns and device or software behavior. Review what the available records support and what remains uncertain.
Scope the question, examine authorized digital artifacts and preserve relevant records with acquisition context, provenance and handling notes. Recovery feasibility is assessed before any recovery work is proposed.
Review configurations, compare system states and assess a defined security question on systems you own or are explicitly authorized to test. Any changes require an agreed scope and approval.
Review proposed information sources, retrieval boundaries, permissions, validation questions and human approval requirements. Scope and deliverables are agreed before work begins.
Inquiry-based investigation, preservation, system-integrity and AI evidence-readiness work is scoped individually. Acceptance and deliverables are agreed before an engagement begins.
Our AI evaluation tools, AI Operating Passport and preservation software remain in development. They are not offered here as production-qualified software or independently certified products.
We document the question, relevant system state, available artifacts, comparisons and limitations. A checksum can support a byte-integrity check; it does not establish authenticity, completeness, cause or attribution by itself.
Available evidence, authorization, technical fit and capacity determine what can be investigated. We do not guarantee data recovery, breach attribution, a particular finding, legal admissibility or certification.
Tell us what happened, what systems you are authorized to discuss, and what you need to understand. Send a short general inquiry first. Do not send credentials or sensitive evidence.
