Our Expertise

Our computer forensics team is not only experienced with desktop systems, we also have the ability to work with embedded systems.  Projects include collection of data from the “black box” of a crane, analysis of a hard drive used in a surgical robot and collection and analysis of surveillance video files.  Our expertise extends beyond the analysis of Microsoft Windows-based computers; we also have the knowledge to work with both Mac and Linux systems.

Our investigative skill goes beyond the confines of a hard drive, we can identify, capture, analyze and preserve social networking pages for sites like, MySpace, Facebook and Xanga.  This preservation includes capturing all content, including text, images, video and music.

BKD’s reach extends into a large section of the Midwest with offices in Wichita, Oklahoma City, Omaha and St. Louis, to name a few.  This provides a quick response and the ability to provide intake facilities at numerous locations.
