Control-F

Control-F is passionate about helping forensic examiners get to grips with digital evidence. We believe that we excel at explaining complex concepts in ways that are easy to understand, because our customers tell us so.

We believe that simple visuals are infinitely more powerful learning aids than wordy bullet points and we have eleven years experience working with law enforcement, private sector and academic customers both in the UK and overseas.

Vendor-Neutral

All of our training courses are ‘vendor-neutral’; by that we mean that we make the decision as to which (if any) commercial forensic tools to include within our training.

We receive no commission from tool providers for including their tools in our training, nor do they influence the content of our training courses. In fact, much of our training emphasises the limitations of commercial forensic tools and how easy it can be to miss critical evidence which tools may not have extracted or may have extracted, but not decoded correctly.

We believe in teaching the underlying principles of how electronic devices operate and store data and how to safely recover digital evidence in accordance with the ACPO Principles of Computer Based Evidence and complementing these with experience of market leading forensic tools, alongside free and open source software.
