“Achieving UKAS ISO 17025 accreditation for our new digital forensics lab has been a significant and important strategic investment for us as we continue to broaden our cyber security services. We are excited to now play a vital role in uncovering crucial evidence, solving cybercrimes, securing digital environments, and preserving the integrity of data, contributing significantly to criminal justice, cybersecurity, and the protection of individual rights in today’s technology dependent world.” Martin Nash MSc CISSP, Head of CS&IA services

CDS Defence & Security’s digital forensics lab (DFU) officially launched in 2023 at our Government-approved facility, in Cheltenham. This state-of-the-art DFU has been two years in the making and is our newest cyber security capability — expanding the services we already offer existing customers to now include the police and law enforcement sectors.

“Our digital forensics lab and capabilities play a key part in the strategy to expand our cyber security and information assurance services,” explained Martin Nash, Head of cyber security and information assurance services at CDS DS.

Law enforcement have publicly declared significant backlogs in the digital forensic evidential examination of electronic devices, and we’re here to support them in tackling this effectively.

“Our DFU enables us to maintain the integrity in the chain of evidence for devices, while quickly and efficiently analysing and reporting our findings with accurate results.”

At CDS Defence & Security, we have a very talented, highly-qualified, and extremely experienced team who are driving our digital forensic service provision forward — many of whom have a background in law enforcement. All our specialists hold high levels of security clearance and can operate from our certified, security-cleared HQ in Cheltenham, as well as integrating into our customers’ teams and facilities.

Alongside our Digital Forensics Unit, we provide broader specialist expertise in insider threat/risk, cyber security risk and governance and ethical hacking/penetration testing. We can also certify organisations under the Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus scheme.
