SHA-256 Cryptographic Hashing
Smart DeNIST & NSRL Filtering
Offline PST & MBOX Email Triage
Automated Chain of Custody
Browser-Native Digital Evidence Platform
VERIDEX Evidence Analyzer is an air-gapped, WebAssembly-powered forensic triage and evidence processing platform that operates entirely within the investigator’s browser — zero server installation, zero cloud egress, full court defensibility.
Why Traditional Investigation Tools Fail
Massive Data Bloat
A single workstation image exceeds 500 GB — 60–70% is OS files and DLLs that obscure evidence and inflate vendor processing fees.
Cloud Subpoena Risk
Uploading to third-party eDiscovery cloud platforms exposes sensitive employee data to vendor subpoenas and cross-border data transfer violations.
Sluggish Investigation Velocity
Network file transfers and cloud ingestion queues introduce days of delay during time-sensitive audits and regulatory investigations.
Metadata Contamination
Opening files on suspect systems alters “Last Accessed” timestamps, corrupting MAC metadata and inviting evidence spoliation challenges in court.
Fragmented Chain of Custody
Manual spreadsheet tracking introduces timestamp gaps and custody breaks that undermine admissibility when challenged in judicial proceedings.
Excessive Vendor Ingestion Fees
Cloud eDiscovery providers charge $200–$500 per GB to ingest raw data. Un-DeNISTed disk dumps result in tens of thousands in avoidable processing costs.
Complex Hardware Dependencies
Legacy forensic tools require expensive hardware dongles, dedicated server rigs, and thick desktop software that restrict examiner mobility.
Payload & Malware Risks
Parsing un-sandboxed suspect files directly on endpoint machines risks detonating malicious scripts or macro viruses across corporate networks.
6-Stage Court-Defensible Investigation Pipeline
Every stage executes inside your local browser. No data leaves the corporate perimeter at any point in the pipeline.
Local Collection
Integrity Lock
Volume Reduction
Content Extraction
PII & Pattern Detection
Court-Ready Output

Real-World Investigation Scenarios
How enterprise investigation teams deploy VERIDEX Evidence Analyzer across critical investigation types.
Workplace Harassment & Misconduct Investigations
HR receives a whistleblower report alleging executive misconduct and unauthorized expense reimbursements across corporate messaging and email accounts.
Load exported MBOX/EML archives into Evidence Analyzer. SHA-256 baseline hashes lock integrity. Smart DeNISTing filters non-human system emails. Offline pattern matching isolates date-stamped communications and expense receipt PDFs — 100% in private browser memory.
Departing Employee Data Exfiltration
A senior sales director resigns to join a competitor. IT flags unusual late-night USB device activity and bulk cloud downloads 48 hours prior to resignation.
Deploy targeted collection to extract the custodian’s local profile, cloud sync directories, browser download history, and USB connection logs. SHA-256 hashes match extracted ZIPs against master customer databases to prove exact file exfiltration within hours for TRO filings.
Corporate Fraud & Off-Books Accounting Audits
Internal audit discovers financial discrepancies in vendor invoice approvals pointing to altered PDF bank details and off-books shell company accounts.
Load 80 GB of PST archives, ERP spreadsheet dumps, and scanned PDF invoices. Automated pattern recognition extracts IBAN numbers, tax IDs, and altered dollar amounts. Offline OCR parses scanned invoices while preserving continuous chain of custody.
Intellectual Property & Trade Secret Theft
A technology firm suspects a departing R&D engineer copied proprietary source code and CAD schematics before launching a rival company.
Ingest source code repositories, archived CAD drawings, and personal cloud logs. SHA-256 hashes identify renamed code modules. Extracts compressed archives in PST attachments. Generates cryptographic audit log for federal DTSA litigation.
Cybersecurity Incident Response & Payload Triage
Enterprise network detects a ransomware incident. IR teams must isolate web shell payloads and log artifacts rapidly without risking host workstation infection.
Ingest IIS web server logs, PowerShell execution histories, and suspect payload samples. Browser-isolated RAM safely parses log structures, extracts malicious IP addresses and execution flags, and computes payload SHA-256 hashes without infecting the analyst workstation.
Anti-Bribery (FCPA) & Regulatory Subpoena Ingestion
Legal counsel receives an urgent DOJ subpoena demanding 30-day triage and production of 15 custodians’ archived PST stores for suspected FCPA violations.
Ingest PST stores directly into Evidence Analyzer. Smart DeNISTing eliminates 40% OS noise instantly. Automated PII and IBAN extraction isolates suspicious transactions, producing Concordance DAT load files for downstream review in hours rather than weeks.
