But how do you gauge the ‘trustworthiness’ of a company?

Ibas believes that being trusted by Governments and Government agencies worldwide is perhaps the highest measure.

Ibas is one of only a handful of companies that has a European State licence to handle sensitive business and private data. 
When the bulk ship for the transport and handling of rock, Rocknes sank off the coast of Norway in January 2004, the Norwegian Government ordered an investigation into what caused the disaster.  Ibas was given the highly sensitive and critical task of recovering the ship’s logs and geo-positioning data from the onboard computer systems.

Ibas employs some of the world’s leading and most highly respected computer forensics investigators.
Ibas’ international operations manager co-wrote the Good Practice Guide to Computer Based Evidence. The guide was the first document setting out the minimum standards for computer forensic investigations to be endorsed by the UK’s Association of Chief Police Officers. It has since been adopted by law enforcement agencies worldwide.

Ibas is committed to driving standards and best practice.
Ibas is actively engaged in training and educating police officers and technicians in computer forensic investigation techniques and technology. It runs courses for Norway’s National Computer Crime Centre, the Swedish National Computer Crime Squad and the Swedish National Forensic Laboratory.

Ibas has been engaged by Government agencies worldwide to provide critical assistance under the media spotlight.
Ibas provided equipment and training to the British Army’s Land Information Assurance Group when it was tasked with gathering electronic evidence of war crimes conducted by Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq.

Ibas was tasked with recovering data from computers damaged in the Pirelli Tower airplane crash in Milan, Italy.

Deleted text messages from a SIM card recovered by Ibas provided as critical evidence in the Knutby trial, a historical and fatal murder case in Sweden.

Ibas is also trusted by Government to provide expert advice and recommendations on policy and legislation.
Ibas was the only commercial organisation to be selected as an expert witness to present to the UK’s All Parliamentary Internet Group hearing on reforming the Computer Misuse Act (1990).

Ibas is working with the National Computer Crime Centre in Norway to conduct the first in-depth research into the computer forensics industry in Scandinavia.
