Technical Investigations for Legal Actions

We love the trend toward more robust privacy legislation. But laws don’t enforce themselves; that takes the talent of seasoned attorneys and investigators.

Whether regulator or litigator, if you’re enforcing privacy laws, you need to know: What data are companies collecting from consumers? Why? And who else is getting access to it?

That’s where we come in.

Our Services

Expert investigators. Actionable results.

Case Generation

We will track down targets for your technology-focused case lines, providing you with detailed reports and technical evidence to power complaints and subpoenas.

Privacy Consultations

Have an open case already? Overloaded by an in-house investigation? We can help you cut through the confusion, explain what you’ve found, and recommend next steps.

Custom Training

We can teach you about technology and tech investigations with sessions custom built for your teams. You can stick to the basics, or go even further.

Children's Investigations

We use time-tested methods to uncover companies’ violations of children’s privacy rights, with special focus on surreptitious data leaks and consent failures.

Mobile App Investigations

We can give you insight into what mobile apps are doing on users’ phones, what data they have access to, and how widely they’re sharing it.

Data Collection and Analysis

We can do web privacy analyses at scale, gather disparate data from across the internet, crunch numbers, and give you answers using our customized approach.

We dissect mobile apps, pick apart websites, evaluate data flows, and find privacy leaks. We utilize our extensive network of privacy and security experts and answer tough questions. Our reports remove the burden of case generation and let you focus on what matters: actionable cases that drive compliance and protect consumers.

If you require training, our customized approach will get your team up to speed with essential terminology and techniques.

Training Solutions

Want to learn some of the tricks we employ in our own research? Whether online or in-person, we offer flexible sessions that work for your schedule. Our training sessions are always tailored to address your specific questions and concerns. We suggest starting with a few hours of introductory training online and then gauge your needs from there.

An intro to core concepts and terminology - We’ll provide you a rundown on the relevant concepts and terms used by the advertising industry, computer networking professionals, web developers, and app developers. From proxy servers to base64 encoding, we’ll get you comfortable with the fundamentals.

Simple browser-based investigations - We’ll tell you what you can do to conduct simple, browser-based investigations of websites for yourself. You will learn how webpages are built and how your browser can become a tool to probe them. You will gain insight into the built-in tools browsers provide that can power investigations, as well as the software tools we recommend for everyday use by your team.

“From zero to traffic” - We’ll show you the ins and outs of examining mobile phone applications, from software recommendations for static and dynamic analyses to jailbreaking and rooting techniques. You will learn how to defeat security features that prevent the inspection of app traffic, as well as best practices for investigation workflows. We can add advanced modules, too, including the basics of Frida (a runtime modification toolkit) and phone emulation software. In-person training is essential for mobile device sessions.
