We work with academic institutions, law enforcement agencies, companies and forensic technology providers to raise the standard of digital forensics training and research.

Why we collaborate
No single organisation sees every kind of case. Universities bring research depth, police and labs bring casework, companies bring the incidents they face and tool makers bring new technology. Working together means our learners get current tools, real case methods and investigation workflows that match what employers use.
