Regulatory Authorities Simulation Audits

Regulatory Authorities (BDDK, EPDK, Competition Authority, BTK, SPK, RTÜK, etc.) have facilitated the digitalization of their inspections through technological advancements. We elevate your internal audit requests to the level of Digital Forensic Examination. This allows us to work on the digital materials assigned to or personally owned by company employees, including those in top management, finance & accounting, sales & marketing, R&D, production & manufacturing, design teams, etc. Forensic examinations are conducted on devices and platforms such as WhatsApp, email, search history, computers, mobile phones, etc., focusing on keywords, suspected event sequences, and specific requests that may indicate anti-competitive behavior. On-site Digital Evidence Data Audits can be conducted in real-time or at predetermined periodic intervals throughout the year.

Digital Evidence Examination in Simulation Audits: Within the Framework of Digital Forensic Standards

With the increase in crimes and crime investigations in digital environments today, digital evidence examination plays a crucial role in digital forensics. This process involves the analysis and interpretation of data obtained from digital environments for forensic purposes. 

1. What is the Digital Evidence Examination?

Digital evidence examination is the detailed analysis of data obtained from electronic devices (computers, phones, tablets, etc.) for forensic purposes. This process is carried out by digital forensics experts and provides information that assists judicial authorities in criminal investigations.

2. Digital Forensic Standards:

Digital forensic standards are established rules and guidelines to ensure that digital evidence examination processes are conducted fairly, reliably, and consistently. These standards regulate the competencies of digital forensics experts, evidence collection methods, and reporting procedures.

3. Stages of Digital Evidence Examination:

a. Evidence Collection:  The first stage is the correct collection of digital evidence. This involves obtaining the evidence without altering it and preserving its original state.

b. Evidence Analysis: The collected data is analyzed in detail by digital forensics experts. This stage examines elements such as file structure, text content, timestamps, and relational connections.

c. Reporting:  The results of the analysis are reported by digital forensics experts. These reports provide information on the strength and accuracy of the evidence for judicial processes.
