14. Once you start a case, how long before we can get some information?
This is a difficult question and the answer is as soon as possible. Once a case is taken on, we will put every available resource to our client’s case and will continue working diligently in providing them the answers and data they need. The following is important to remember :
There are many processes and procedures which are controlled by technology and the data extracted from the target site. Unfortunately, we do not control the time or length of the process.
Emergencies can and will be handled in an expeditious manner. Unfortunately, we are required to do certain things in a certain order and failure to do this will result in delays later in the engagement.
As with most things, computer forensics takes advantage of a natural momentum that builds through the process. Each case is handled in a similar way and as long as the process is agreed upon and followed, things which appear at first to not be moving will suddenly take off or be completed.
