Digital Forensics
If data exists on a device, Sensei’s digital forensics experts can find it
Digital Forensics
Capturing, assessing, investigating, and analyzing digital evidence requires specialized knowledge, skills and abilities – making digital forensics as much an art as a science. Computers, mobile phones and other data storage devices can hold a wealth of electronically stored information that, in order to be identified and exposed, requires a level of expertise above and beyond that of most end-users or Information Technology personnel.
If data exists on a device, even in a fragmented form, there is no limit to what Sensei’s digital forensics experts can find. We may be asked to recover electronic communications or social media artifacts, authenticate an electronic document, or analyze computer activity to determine if a former employee stole data among many other tasks. Digital forensic examinations can shed light on a multitude of internal, civil, or criminal matters.

What Customers are Saying
“In 2020 our home, in which my office was located at the time, was struck by lightning. The strike did $20,000 of damage and destroyed virtually every electronic device we had including all of my office equipment. Among the items lost were some files on a Dell desktop computer that through oversight had not been backed up either to the cloud or an auxiliary drive. Much to my surprise and delight Sensei was able to somehow retrieve the data and transfer it to another drive which we then uploaded to the cloud. Later, when an unrelated problem developed with my MacBook Sensei was again able to get me back in operation. The folks at Sensei have remarkable skills and we are fortunate to have them in our Northern Virginia community. “

What Customers are Saying
“As a criminal defense law firm digital forensic evidence is implicated in nearly every case we have in our practice. We have worked with Sensei Enterprises for over a decade as our sole source for trusted and highly skilled digital forensic evidence examination.
Their ability to be available and immediately responsive with quick turnaround and insightful consultations has helped us successfully resolve many cases prior to trial. Equally important, they have provided in court testimony that has been critical in cases where we have won acquittals in criminal jury trials.
In modern criminal defense practice, NOT having an understanding and insight into evidence contained on phones, tablets and computers renders counsel at a distinct disadvantage to the resources available to state and federal Prosecutorial investigators. We rely with great confidence in Mike and his team to level the playing field and help us successfully defend our clients. “

“I contacted Sensei for help with data recovery from a cell phone that was for my divorce. They were able to easily determine what needed to be done to capture that data in question for my court case that met the standards of the court that were required. They provided a consultation that answered my questions during a very difficult time, in a professional and thorough manner with some extremely sensitive material.”

What Customers are Saying
“I give Sensei Enterprises and in particular Mr. Michael C. Maschke my highest endorsement. I am an attorney based in Fairfax and was in need of digital forensics and electronic discovery expertise for a case that involved internet defamation and cyberbullying and the identification of some internet posters. Michael Maschke’s knowledge and experience on the subject was extraordinary and impressive. It was clear from the moment I walked into Sensei that their focus was on delivering the most current and effective practices for their clients; however after spending just a short while with Michael, it was his care, attention and concern for me as a client that stood out the most. These are rare and special qualities. If you are looking for the best to find solutions, you have found them right here. This is a top notch firm!”
