Digital forensics across Canada.
BC headquartered, with national capability. Most cross-province matters are served remotely through cloud forensics and shipped-evidence acquisition. We travel for on-site work where the matter requires it.
Local context
How we serve Canada.
- Canadian-owned and Canadian-led
- Familiar with Canadian rules of evidence
- Experienced with PIPEDA and provincial privacy regimes
- Cross-jurisdictional matter support (BC, AB, ON, and beyond)
- Secure shipping protocols for inter-provincial evidence
How we serve Canada
The reach of a main office is set by what physically must be in the lab. For most modern matters, very little does:
- Cloud forensics is fully remote: M365, Google Workspace, Slack, Teams, AWS.
- Computer forensics can be remote with a forensic-grade collection agent or with shipped evidence.
- Mobile forensics requires the device, which we receive by courier or pick up where geography permits.
- Anton Piller execution and trial testimony require physical presence; we travel.
Practically, this means we have served clients in Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, and the Atlantic provinces from our Langley main office on the same operational standards we apply in BC.
Legal & privacy context
Canadian privacy law is layered. PIPEDA applies federally to private-sector organizations engaged in commercial activity. Provincial statutes (BC PIPA, Alberta PIPA, Quebec Law 25) apply within their respective jurisdictions. Federally regulated industries (banking, telecommunications, transportation, certain energy and Indigenous-government work) have their own overlay. The Canada Evidence Act governs the admissibility of electronic documents in federal proceedings; provincial evidence acts govern provincial proceedings.
We design every engagement to fit the relevant framework. Where Quebec Law 25 applies (organizations doing business in Quebec, even if headquartered elsewhere), we work with counsel on the additional notification and consent requirements.
