Description

GMP require a suite of software/s that provides us the capability to forensically extract, capture, analyse, and evidence data from mobile devices, including but not limited to mobile phones, tablet devices & satnavs.
To enable GMP officers & staff to have the data required to investigate crime effectively, the software suite must be able to extract analyse and report on the data found during these extractions in a clean, easy to understand format, with space for both manual interpretation by non-technical officers & in-depth technical review by Digital Investigators.
As a force we turn around our extractions at a rapid rate, the handsets we see through the unit vary massively from generic legacy phones, to the most up to date smart phones. As such, any solution must be updated regularly to provide us the capability to investigate crime effectively.
Given the majority of peoples devices have one or more method of security on them, GMP is reliant on our tools being able to able to bypass as many security features as possible as part of the default offering.
Due to the complexity of digital forensics, GMP are looking for multiple providers, as it is fully appreciated there is no "One-Fits All". We need a range of options to be able to call on should we require them for verification, dual-tooling or further extraction/analysis.
