Healthcare & Life Sciences

We are the named, court-tested digital forensics experts that healthcare and life-sciences organizations and their counsel call when trade-secret theft, an internal investigation, or IP misappropriation turns on what the digital evidence shows.

How we serve Healthcare & Life Sciences

Healthcare and life-sciences organizations run on proprietary research — compound and synthesis protocols, preclinical and trial datasets, and regulatory submission strategy — alongside some of the most sensitive regulated data anywhere. We work these matters as digital forensic examiners first: reconstructing how confidential research, datasets, or regulatory drafts were taken when a scientist or executive departs for a competitor; imaging corporate and personal devices, cloud-storage accounts, and email archives under sound protocols; correlating file-system metadata, USB artifacts, and cloud-sync logs to attribute exfiltration across every data pathway; and running the covert, privileged internal investigations that confirm and quantify insider misconduct. Our clients are general counsel, privacy and compliance leaders, and the outside litigators who rely on a forensic record that will hold up.

What sets the work apart is who does it and whether it survives scrutiny. The same forensic technologists and former chief privacy officers who image the devices, map the data, and reconstruct the trail are named, testifying experts who later explain those findings to a regulator, a board risk committee, or a jury — and defend them under Daubert and cross-examination, as our examiners have at the preliminary-injunction stage. That forensic discipline, with documented decisions and a hash-verified chain of custody from first contact onward, not crisis response, is the core of what we bring to this sector.

Challenges we handle

  • Trade-secret and IP theft forensics

    When a departing researcher or executive is suspected of taking compound data, trial results, or regulatory drafts to a competitor, we image the relevant devices and cloud accounts under sound protocols and reconstruct the exfiltration trail across every data pathway — producing attribution evidence sound enough for emergency injunctive relief and testimony at trial.

  • Insider misconduct and internal investigations

    We conduct covert, privileged digital-forensic investigations into research misappropriation, data misuse, and insider misconduct — following the trail through email, messaging, and device and cloud data while preserving the integrity of the evidence and the privilege around it.

  • Expert testimony and eDiscovery for litigation

    We run the full discovery lifecycle for life-sciences disputes — legal holds across hundreds of custodians, proportional review of large data volumes, and production — and the same examiners who did the work serve as named testifying experts who explain the forensic methodology on the stand.

  • Forensic investigation of intrusions and data exfiltration

    When an intrusion reaches clinical systems or protected health information, we forensically scope what was accessed and exfiltrated, reconstruct the threat actor's access vector and dwell time, and preserve a documented, chain-of-custody record sound enough for law-enforcement handoff and later expert testimony on the security posture.

  • Integrated HIPAA, CCPA, and state-law privacy programs

    Hospital data rarely fits one framework cleanly. We run enterprise gap assessments and data-flow mapping, then redesign privacy governance, policies, and controls so HIPAA, CCPA, and emerging state laws are handled as one integrated, auditable program rather than parallel silos.

  • Regulatory response and notification analysis

    Where a forensic investigation establishes that PHI was compromised, we translate the evidence into a defensible scoping and notification record — calibrated to the Office for Civil Rights and the distinct statutory language of each state regime — so filings rest on what the forensics actually show.
