Magnet REVIEW helps you to ensure that only data pertinent to the investigation is made available to investigators. The digital forensics unit is responsible for maintaining control and governance over digital evidence to protect the privacy of victims and witnesses. Protect victim and witness rights by maintaining control over data ingested and accessible in REVIEW.With REVIEW, evidence is centralized into one easily accessible web-based application, allowing investigators to view each others tagged items and comments together in real-time as well as giving them the ability to split the data up to reduce overall workloads and/or duplicated efforts.
Using a free reader tool restricts teams to a linear process – examiner sends processed evidence to each individual reviewer, team members review evidence separately, insights then need to be combined and acted upon.
Reviewing a case individually, isolated from other team members – whether via Portable Case, PDFs and Excel sheets – can result in a slower investigation if your goal is to tackle the workload as a team.
Investigators are not overloaded sifting through features, data, and insights that may not add value to their investigation, or that may cause unnecessary confusion. Also, near-native document review capabilities present documents and emails as expected. REVIEW let’s investigators filter data down to what’s most important to them by using familiar review capabilities such as search, filter, tags, and commenting. Providing reviewers with a wealth of technical information can overwhelm.
Magnet REVIEW – a web-based evidence review platform purpose-built for use by non-technical investigators – allows you to securely share all digital evidence in one central location so that investigators can review their evidence from anywhere with an internet connection.īy enabling non-technical investigators to review their own case evidence in an accurate and forensically sound manner, you can reduce the burden on your digital forensics team while increasing the quality of investigations and reducing costs.įor example, shipping sensitive evidence on USB drives or requiring investigators to travel to the lab can waste critical investigation time and may introduce security risks. We believe that a collaborative, centralized approach to evidence review is an essential part of the solution to this challenge. In fact, over 90% of all cases require a digital investigation creating a heavy burden on the digital forensics unit. The pressure is building – the growth in digital devices and volume of digital data has substantially increased the number of cases requiring digital investigation.
