Precise can perform a byte-level, hash-verified acquisition of all data and information on a digital device. All information, such as operating system files, deleted data, metadata, and all user-created files and data, is preserved in its original format. Forensic imaging provides the best possible manner of preserving evidence and minimizes the time disruption to the client in the collection process. Forensic imaging is the most legally defensible way of collecting digital devices. Smartphones, laptops, tablets, desktops, and servers are commonly collected through forensic imaging.
