What is mobile forensics?

Mobile forensics is the science of recovering, analyzing, and preserving digital evidence from mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. It involves extracting data like messages, call logs, photos, and app data in a way that maintains its integrity for use in investigations or legal proceedings. Mobile forensics experts use specialized tools and techniques to access both visible and deleted information, often working with law enforcement or private organizations to uncover evidence relevant to criminal or civil cases.

What are some of the common challenges faced by professionals in mobile forensics, and how can they be addressed?

Mobile forensics specialists often encounter challenges such as rapidly evolving device encryption, diverse operating systems, and frequent software updates that can hinder data extraction. Addressing these challenges requires continuous learning and staying up to date with the latest forensic tools and techniques. Collaboration with law enforcement, legal teams, and IT departments is also essential to ensure evidence integrity and proper case handling. Building a network of industry contacts and participating in professional training can help overcome technical obstacles and keep your skills current.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a mobile forensics specialist, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Mobile Forensics Specialist, you need expertise in digital evidence collection, data analysis, and understanding of mobile operating systems, often supported by a degree in computer science or cybersecurity. Familiarity with forensic tools such as Cellebrite, Oxygen Forensics, and certification like Certified Mobile Device Examiner (CMDE) is typically required. Attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and strong written and verbal communication skills are crucial soft skills for success in this role. These competencies ensure accurate, legally defensible investigations and effective communication of findings to law enforcement or legal teams.

  • We deliver on commitments: We are accountable, empower each other and go above and beyond for our stakeholders.
  • We learn, improve and innovate: We get better each day by challenging the status quo and equipping ourselves for the future.
  • We are inclusive: We embrace different perspectives, enabling our colleagues to make an impact and bring their whole selves to work.

Who You'll Work With
The Information Technology organization is the technological foundation of our business and works in collaboration with our partners from across the company. The team drives technology and digital transformation, partners with business leaders to design and execute new strategies through IT and operations services and ensures the necessary IT risk management and security measures are in place and aligned with enterprise architecture standards and principles.
About The Role
As a Senior Investigations Analyst, you are the lead "digital detective" for the organization. You will be responsible for conducting complex, forensically sound investigations into security breaches, policy violations, and potential litigation matters. You will leverage advanced forensic suites-with a particular focus on Nuix-to parse massive datasets, recover "hidden" evidence, and build a factual narrative for legal, HR, and executive stakeholders.
Responsibilities
Forensic Acquisition & Preservation
  • Chain of Custody: Lead the collection and preservation of digital evidence (workstations, mobile, cloud, and server logs) ensuring strict adherence to forensic standards and chain-of-custody protocols.
  • Imaging & Extraction: Perform live and dead-box imaging of systems across diverse OS environments (Windows, macOS, Linux).
  • Remote Collections: Utilize enterprise forensic tools to perform stealthy, remote data acquisitions without disrupting business operations.

Deep-Dive Investigation & Analysis
  • Axiom/Nuix Power User: Utilize forensic toolsets to ingest, process, and analyze multi-terabyte datasets. You will be expected to create complex search queries, perform deduplication, and identify communication patterns across disparate data sources.
  • Artifact Analysis: Investigate system artifacts (e.g. Registry, MFT, Shellbags, LNK files) to reconstruct user activity and timeline events.
  • Data Recovery: Perform file carving and unallocated space analysis to recover deleted or obscured evidence.
  • Email & Communication Forensics: Conduct deep-dive analysis of PST/OST files and cloud-based mail (O365/Gmail) to identify evidence of data exfiltration or collusion.

Reporting & Stakeholder Management
  • Expert Reporting: Translate technical forensic findings into clear, "plain English" investigative reports suitable for legal proceedings or executive review.
  • Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Act as the technical liaison for Legal, HR, and Internal Audit teams to define the scope of investigations and provide status updates on high-sensitivity cases.
  • Continuous Improvement: Refine forensic workflows and laboratory standards to ensure the team stays ahead of anti-forensic techniques.

Skills and Qualifications
Technical Requirements
  • Experience: 4+ years of experience in digital forensics and/or corporate investigations.
  • Forensic Toolset Mastery:
  • Axiom or Nuix (Highly Preferred)
  • Other Tools: Advanced experience with at least two of the following: EnCase, FTK, Autopsy or X-Ways Forensics.
  • Mobile Forensics: Experience with Cellebrite UFED or Magnet GrayKey.
  • DLP: Purview

Technical Knowledge
  • Deep understanding of file systems (NTFS, APFS, Ext4), memory forensics (Volatility), and cloud-native logging (Azure Unified Audit Log, AWS CloudTrail).
  • Scripting (Plus): Basic ability to use Python or SQL to automate data parsing or query large investigative databases.
  • Preferred Certifications
  • Tool-Specific: Nuix Workstation Forensic Practitioner, EnCE, or MCFE.
  • Vendor-Neutral: GIAC Certified Forensic Analyst (GCFA), GIAC Network Forensic Analyst (GNFA), or Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE).

Soft Skills
  • Ethics & Integrity: Unwavering commitment to maintaining confidentiality and impartiality during sensitive investigations.
  • The "Detective Mindset": The ability to look past the obvious and connect non-linear data points to find the "smoking gun."
  • Clarity under Pressure: Experience delivering tough findings to senior leadership in high-stress environments.
