Inland Discovery is an independent IT firm specializing in digital collections, digital forensics, and e-discovery. Located in Southern California, our agile structure allows us to partner effectively with individual attorneys, law firms, corporate legal teams, and other e-discovery/forensics providers.
From a single-device collection to enterprise-scale cloud environments (including email, file shares, and mobile data), we deliver tailored, defensible solutions that prioritize accuracy, efficiency, and your budget.
Our Core Services:
- Digital Collections — Forensically sound acquisitions from computers, mobile devices (iOS/Android), network resources, email, and cloud accounts (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, etc.).
- Remote Digital Collections — Secure, efficient remote captures from devices, email, and cloud environments — minimizing disruption and travel costs.
- E-Discovery & Processing — Creating targeted, review-ready datasets for seamless ingestion into leading platforms like Relativity, Nuix, Everlaw, and others. We specialize in Relativity Short Message Format (RSMF) exports — the industry-standard for normalizing and delivering short message data (SMS, iMessage, WhatsApp, Teams, Slack, and more) from mobile extractions. RSMF enables near-native threaded review in Relativity’s Short Message Viewer, preserving emojis, attachments, metadata, reactions, edits, and deleted messages for faster, more intuitive analysis and production.
- Digital Forensics — Advanced search, recovery, and analysis of identified datasets to uncover critical evidence.
- Data Remediations — Secure, forensically sound deletion and sanitization of identified data from user devices, email, and cloud accounts — including safely removing proprietary or sensitive data belonging to a previous employer or entity before a device owner transitions to a new role or organization.
- Websites & Social Media Preservations — Capturing and preserving online content with full chain-of-custody.
- Internet & Domain Research — Investigative support for open-source intelligence and domain-related inquiries.
