Digital Forensics:
A Challenge and an Opportunity for UK Policing

Criminals are tapping into the very latest digital technology every day and so police forces need to unlock the power of modern, digital forensic technology to gather evidence quickly and efficiently.

Legacy technology and applications are unable to tackle this challenge effectively, securely and cost-efficiently due to the sheer scale and complexity of the data involved.

An effective digital forensics platform that can scale and adapt is essential to deliver better outcomes for police and victims of crime today, and into the future.

Today's Digital Forensics Challenges

The scale at which digital crime is growing

The volume and type of data is growing exponentially from a vast range of devices. This forensic data needs to be ingested and stored cost-effectively, securely and with easy access today and in the future.

Today's Digital Forensics Challenges

Faster digital forensics processes are essential

There is a backlog of more than 25,000 devices awaiting digital forensic examination and the data from these devices needs to be ingested, accessed and analysed at speed.

Today's Digital Forensics Challenges

Legacy infrastructure and applications are an obstacle

End of life hardware, applications, systems and siloed data architectures need to be replaced with infrastructure and applications that can handle complexity.

Today's Digital Forensics Challenges

Meet legal and regulatory requirements

Once the data is accessed, it needs to be processed and stored in line with the latest data retention laws and protected from accidental or malicious tampering.

Today's Digital Forensics Challenges

Service delivery to all stakeholders

Improved digital forensics capabilities will improve service delivery to front-line officers, officers in charge, victims, witnesses and suspects.

The results

More Speed

Start investigations quicker and reduce case processing times.

Protect victims and the public from harm quicker.

Automation for more time analysing and drawing inferences and less on processing data.

Securely share data with CPS quickly and efficiently.

More Security

Greater security for confidential and public safety data.

Improved data governance in line with storage, retention, and destruction of records and materials guidance.

Accreditation to ensure quality standards are upheld.

Physical and digital security to protect digital evidence data.

More Control

Scale up and scale out with cloud technology.

No need to over-provision to accommodate predicted data growth with a pay-per-use consumption model.

Predictable long-term costs and outcomes.

Improved Service

Enhanced victim support.

Review evidence any time, anywhere, with greater access via the cloud.

Improved experience for the officer in charge.

Increase in productivity to re-invest time into core tasks.

Serve communities effectively.

Delays in examination of devices carries many risks. In some cases, devices held by police may contain sensitive information, such as child sexual abuse, drugs and firearm material.

Unlock the Power of Digital Forensics with Hybrid Cloud

Due to the complexity and volume of digital evidence there is a critical need for transformative innovation. Embracing hybrid cloud technologies combines increased efficiency with improved experience and outcomes today, and into the future.

It’s all about the right applications and data in the right place, for the right reasons. Hybrid cloud is a blend of public, private and multi-cloud strategies. Essential operations and large data sets and applications are still housed in the data centre (for security and/or latency reasons), while applications and services that can best live in public cloud are migrated to the public cloud hyperscalers. The result is a seamless experience between public and private infrastructure – the best of both worlds.

Gone are the days when police forces would have to purchase 5X – 10X more storage capacity than is required on day one. The way in which IT infrastructure and services is purchased and consumed has changed. Large CAPEX investments are dwindling in favour of pay-per-use consumption models, such as HPE GreenLake. This help remove financial barriers and minimise the risk to technological advancement. Plus pay-per-use over time, can help free up finances for parallel initiatives and projects.

“Storing the evidence from digital forensic examinations is a big problem for the police service and it is getting worse. The old ways of storing evidence don’t work in this digital age. Policing must move to a cloud-based system of storing digital evidence if it is to become more efficient and effective.”
