Computer Forensics Consultant.
The purpose of the Computer Forensics Consultant is to provide the Client with expert opinion on the subject of computer forensics, the procedures of computer forensics or the setting up of a computer forensics laboratory.
Occasionally, there will be even more highly specialised areas of consultation which could include Live Memory Forensics, Wifi Forensics etc. More examples could be that an Organisation has a requirement to outsource some computer forensics work, but is not sure who to send the work to and needs professional advice. It could be that a large accountancy firm needs to have a representative on hand for their Clients and uses an independent computer forensics consultant to represent their organisation. It could be that a judge decides that he/she wants expert opinion in the ruling of a case and an expert computer forensics consultant is required.
Sometimes, on criminal cases experts are required with niche skills. An example of this would be that a damaged hard disk drive that could not be accessed by the prosecution could be accessed by another company. This is called Forensic Data Recovery. A provider of such a service would be Disklabs Forensic Data Recovery. A Consultant from Disklabs could be called to explain what had happened with the hard disk drive and explain how they gained access to the seemingly inaccessible disk.
