Information Technology and System Security Services for Litigation Support

Spry Control's digital litigation investigation is a sophisticated, technology-based approach to identifying malicious or accidental abuse of a client's IT systems and sensitive customer or corporate data. Such an investigation will evaluate the nature of a breach, evidence of misuse if necessary, determine the impact on the client's business, and gather evidence to reconstruct the events taking place. Investigations can range from source and extent of malicious attacks from insiders or outsiders, misuse of corporate assets or data - whether accidental or intentional- and loss of intellectual property by internal or external parties. Our digital litigation support team also supports investigations into accounting systems data and application review.
