What We Examine
What we collect
What we collect
and produce.
We work to the proportionality the matter requires — preserving everything in scope, processing only what's necessary, and producing only what's relevant.
Layer01
Email & messaging
Microsoft 365, Exchange, Google Workspace, Slack and Teams — targeted custodian collection or full-tenant preservation.
Layer02
Cloud platforms
OneDrive, SharePoint, Google Drive, Box and Dropbox with metadata preserved and audit trail intact.
Layer03
On-premises & endpoints
File servers, mailboxes, laptops and mobile devices imaged forensically with chain-of-custody.
Layer04
Processing & culling
Deduplication, deNISTing, keyword and date culling — typically reducing review volume by 60–90%.
Layer05
Review & production
Reviewer-ready datasets in standard load formats. Bates numbering, redaction support and privilege logs.
Layer06
Reporting
Defensibility reports, custodian interviews and chain-of-custody documentation suitable for the bench.

meets the brief.
Discovery work arrives from four typical directions. We size the engagement to the matter — never the other way around.

Regulator03
Regulatory response
ASIC, ACCC, OAIC, APRA and ATO requests with defensible production and audit trail.

The Approach
Proportionate,
Proportionate,
defensible, on time.
We work the EDRM in reverse: start with what the matter actually needs at production, then preserve and collect only what supports it. The result is fewer documents, lower cost and a defensible record.
Every step is logged, every custodian acknowledged, every search documented. If discovery is challenged, the audit trail tells the story before we have to.
