What Guardian Forensics Adds to the Guardian Platform
Guardian Forensics includes everything in Guardian Collaborate – centralized evidence storage, automated chain of custody, role-based sharing, and CJIS-compliant security.
Digital Device Submission Portal
Receive devices submissions from investigators with case context through a self-service portal; examiners receive a prioritized intake queue instead of evidence bags with handwritten notes. Every submission is logged, timestamped and linked to a case number. Officers get automated status updates instead of calling the lab.
Automated Lab Workflow Tracking
Track every device from submission through examination, reporting and return. Examiners see their personal queue, supervisors see lab throughput, and command sees backlog depth – all updated in real time without manual status reports or spreadsheet tracking.
Examiner Workload Management
Assign and balance caseloads across examiners based on skill set, current workload and case priority. Lab directors can redistribute work when caseloads spike or personnel are out, keeping throughput consistent without overburdening individual examiners.
One-Click Evidence Sharing
Share selected evidence directly from the lab to case investigators without USB drives, DVDs or email. Granular permissions control what each recipient can view, download or annotate. Chain of custody is maintained automatically through every share event.
Automated Reporting & Documentation
Generate defensible forensic reports with chain-of-custody documentation built in. Examiners spend less time on paperwork and more time on analysis. Reports are formatted for court admissibility and linked to the underlying evidence and extraction data.
