Forensic Collection

Marathon Document Solutions provides forensic collection of electronically stored information (ESI) with the precision and defensibility that modern litigation demands. Our collection procedures are designed to preserve data integrity and maintain a clear chain of custody.

Forensic collection is the critical first step in the eDiscovery process. If data is not collected properly, it can be challenged in court, excluded from evidence, or used to support spoliation claims. Marathon ensures your collections are defensible from day one.

Our forensic collection capabilities cover a wide range of data sources including desktop and laptop computers, servers and network shares, email systems (Exchange, Office 365, Gmail), mobile devices (smartphones, tablets), cloud storage platforms, social media accounts, and legacy systems.

We use industry-standard forensic tools and follow established best practices to create verified copies of source data without altering the original. Every collection is documented with detailed chain-of-custody records, hash value verification, and collection logs.

Marathon Document Solutions has been collecting electronic evidence for Denver law firms and corporations since the early days of eDiscovery. Our experienced team understands both the technical requirements and the legal standards that govern forensic collection, giving you confidence that your data will withstand scrutiny.
