What we do

We operate as forensic DPOs and digital investigations specialists. Our role is to preserve evidence, reconstruct facts and support your legal strategy — not to deploy privacy programs.

  • • Computer, mobile, hardware and software forensics.
  • • E-discovery, document review and evidence production.
  • • Fraud, IP and contract dispute investigations.

About Advisory

Independent experts dedicated to digital evidence, data protection investigations and complex disputes.

Focused on investigations, not implementation

We are not a traditional privacy implementation consultancy. Advisory works as a forensic partner: we support law firms, companies and public entities when something has already happened or is under scrutiny — alleged misuse of personal data, data breaches, fraud, IP misuse or contract disputes.

Our team combines legal, technical and investigative experience to translate complex digital traces into clear, defensible findings for decision makers.

How we typically help
  • Support for internal investigations and special committees.
  • Independent expert work in litigation and arbitration.
  • Assistance to DPOs and legal teams in regulatory proceedings.
  • Preserving and analyzing digital evidence across multiple jurisdictions.
