Field‑to‑cloud forensics you can trust

We work alongside law enforcement, defense and regulatory agencies to modernize how digital evidence is captured, secured and analyzed. Tactical Forensics replaces manual, fragmented processes with a scalable field‑to‑cloud workflow that enhances speed, integrity and legal defensibility. 

The platform integrates rapid device triage, cryptographically attested evidence handling, centralized cloud storage, and ISO/IEC 17025-accredited analysis. Together, these capabilities reduce backlogs, expand investigative reach into remote environments and strengthen outcomes across mission areas. 

Key values we help deliver: 

  • Near real-time identification of harmful or illicit content at the point of collection 
  • Secure, encrypted evidence ingestion with verifiable chain of custody.
  • End-to-end encrypted evidence flows across connected and disconnected environments
  • Accredited forensic analysis, reporting and expert testimony support through CGI Federal’s digital forensics laboratory 
  • Cloud-native scalability in AWS GovCloud for multi-agency collaboration and surge workloads
  • AI-enabled case correlation and automated reporting for greater operational insight

How agencies use tactical forensics 

We help agencies apply cloud-native digital forensics across a wide range of missions. These examples show how teams use the platform to accelerate investigations, strengthen the chain of custody, and expand their reach into complex or remote environments. 

Border security and law enforcement device triage

Frontline teams quickly identify harmful or illicit content on seized devices, then move encrypted evidence into AWS GovCloud for review and analysis. 

Cyber incident response

Responders capture and analyze digital artifacts from compromised systems using a verifiable chain of custody to support defensible reporting.

Counterterrorism and criminal investigations

Agencies combine rapid field assessment with centralized forensic analysis to speed the development of actionable intelligence.

Financial and regulatory investigations

Investigators secure and correlate device data across cases to uncover patterns of fraud or insider threats.

Defense and expeditionary operations

Units collect and protect digital evidence in contested or disconnected environments, then upload encrypted data to the cloud when connectivity becomes available.

80% of examiners still use manual external storage such as USB drives 
Rapid field triage capabilities let teams identify key artifacts without full forensic imaging

Cryptographically attested chain of custody 

Our approach secures evidence from the moment it is collected through encrypted, tamper‑evident handling. This gives agencies confidence that digital artifacts remain protected, traceable and legally defensible across the full lifecycle.

Rapid device triage 

We help teams quickly identify illicit or harmful content at the point of collection without full forensic imaging. This speeds up early decision-making and reduces unnecessary data handling in fast‑moving investigative environments.

Accredited forensic analysis and reporting 

We provide ISO/IEC 17025 accredited digital forensics services directly within a secure AWS GovCloud environment, enabling defensible analysis, streamlined reporting and the ability to scale operations as investigative demand grows. 

We help agencies secure, process and trust digital evidence with field‑to‑cloud forensic expertise 

We offer an end-to-end digital forensics platform that brings together field collection, cloud-based analysis and intelligence in one integrated workflow. Our federated architecture supports controlled multi-agency collaboration, and our cryptographically verifiable chain of custody, accredited lab services and continuous detection improvement set us apart. This cloud-native design helps clients expand capacity, strengthen evidentiary integrity and work with confidence.
