Social Media Investigations & Digital Forensics

Information-Rich, Defensible in Court

Social Media investigations are much more than just taking screenshots. At Capsicum, we capture web pages and applications in a forensically sound manner, which is defensible in a court of law. 

Social media is a rich source of information for investigators if done properly. Whether it’s in a criminal case, civil case investigation, or you just want to properly look into someone’s background, social media can be a treasure trove of information. People spend more time on social media than any other internet activity, including email.
