Zeno Forensics carries out consent-based Android and iOS examinations for law firms, forensic-accounting teams, investigation practices and incident-response providers. The work begins only after the permitted access, scope and intended work product are clear.
Make the brief specific enough to test
“Review the phone” is not a workable instruction. A useful brief identifies the issue, the relevant period, the people or applications that matter, the level of access that has been consented to, and the decision the work needs to inform.
That makes it possible to define a proportionate examination and to state early where the device, operating system, credentials, application state or method may limit the answer.
Work alongside your team, not around it
Before an examination begins, we agree who gives instructions, who receives work product, how questions are routed and what must remain confidential. Zeno can work as a specialist contributor within the delivery structure you establish; any co-delivery or white-label arrangement must be expressly agreed for the matter.
The technical work does not replace legal advice, privilege analysis or the team's own assessment of relevance. It supplies a documented evidential basis for those decisions.
What the work product is designed to separate
Evidence references
What was received or acquired, how it was identified, and the records needed to trace the relevant artifacts.
Findings
What the examination observed within the agreed scope: for example, relevant communications, application activity, timelines or files, subject to the available data and method.
Interpretation and limitations
What the findings may mean for the question asked, and what cannot safely be concluded. A limitation belongs in the report when it changes the reader's confidence in an answer.
Questions worth resolving before engagement
- Is there documented consent from the person able to authorise the examination?
- Is the device available, and what is known about its model, operating-system version and condition?
- Is access available through the owner or agreed credentials, where needed?
- What is the relevant date range and the question the work must answer?
- Who should receive the report and supporting material?
- What retention, return or deletion instruction applies after handover?
Boundaries
Zeno does not offer unauthorised access, surveillance, universal unlocking or a guarantee that a report will determine admissibility. It does not accept a site upload of evidence or credentials.
Launch examinations are consent-based. Zeno does not examine seized devices or devices held as case property. Laboratories and agencies can discuss tools, implementation and training through their dedicated routes.
Begin with a scoped conversation
Send a short description of the matter, the device and consent position, the question to be answered, and the timetable that matters. We will use that to decide whether a consented mobile examination is appropriate and what would need to be agreed before work begins.
