Can you offer expert witness services for legal proceedings?

How long does it take to complete a cyber forensic review?

Timeframes depend on how complex the investigation is and how much data we need to process. We'll confirm a clear estimate after a scoping conversation.

How should I handle an investigation involving an employee?

Cythera recommends evaluating both discreet and transparent methods of evidence preservation in collaboration with your legal team. This helps ensure compliance with employment laws and privacy obligations across Australian jurisdictions. Where necessary, we can involve external legal experts to strengthen the legal defensibility of your approach�especially if escalation to bodies like the Fair Work Commission becomes necessary.

How should I prepare before requesting a forensic investigation?

Avoid tampering with the affected device or system. Contact Cythera immediately - early action helps preserve evidence, ensures a thorough investigation, and improves the chances of a swift and successful response.
