The May 2013 issue of SC Magazine includes its latest review of Triage-G2, which scores 4 3/4 out of 5 stars.
“ADF Solutions’ Triage-G2 was quick to set up and use. All we had to do was download the software, configure the triage key so it knew what to collect, plug the key into the targeted device, and then analyze the information. The GUI was simple to navigate since there were only a few options on the program the user could choose. The software had preset search options, and if the search options were not what the user needed, one could have easily customized their own configuration. The simple GUI promotes the product’s ease of use making it simple for the novice user to navigate – even with minimal training.” -SC Magazine, May 2013
ADF is pleased to have made a positive contribution to the recent NPIA program with Triage-Examiner®. The forensic triage tool was utilized by all five of the East Midlands police forces participating in the highly successful eForensics pilot program conducted by the National Policing Improvement Agency (NPIA) in the U.K. The aim of the six-month pilot was to speed up the process for all forces by providing one standardized approach to the examination of computers and mobile devices. The results have shown five police forces achieving a 90 percent increase in computer devices examined, helping officers bring more offenders to justice more quickly and significantly reducing the computer forensic backlog.
Triage-Examiner is widely deployed in the U.K. by most law enforcement agencies. It is used by both field investigators and forensic examiners within high-tech crime units, public-protection units, sex-offender management units, child-abuse units and others. The tool has had a significant impact on reducing digital forensic backlogs and in solving child abuse, sex offender and fraud cases.

Read this interesting and informative interview with Harry Parsonage, experienced digital forensic triage expert and former DS at Nottingham Police DFU.
“Prior to joining ADF Solutions Harry Parsonage was a police officer for nearly 31 years in the UK. He spent 23 years as a detective sergeant managing and investigating the full range of crime from rape, robbery, child abuse, homicide, to corruption and serious fraud. For the last 11 years of his service he managed a police digital forensic unit and at the same time was a hands-on forensic practitioner. In 2007 he introduced a triage process to his DFU which reduced the backlog from 12 months to less than 6 months over a period of just 9 months. Harry is well known in the forensic community for his papers on MSN Artifacts, Windows Link Files, and Web Browser Session Restore Forensics and is on the editorial panel for the UK’s ACPO (Association of Chief Police Officers) Good Practice Guide for Computer-Based Electronic Evidence and also the ACPO Guide for Managers of eCrime Units.”
This article published by the Nottinghamshire Police in the U.K. offers several recent examples of how Triage-Examiner can help accelerate the prosecution of criminals, and “sex offenders and victims being identified quicker than ever before.” The article also goes on to describe how they were able to reduce their digital forensic backlog in half.
Several months ago, the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM is charged with overseeing the various Special Operations Commands of the U.S. Armed Forces), conducted an evaluation of computer media exploitation and cellular telephone exploitation products, systems, and tools. The evaluation was organized by the USSOCOM Program Office. Triage tools were included as a separate category along with other computer media exploitation tools. An important part of the evaluation was to include representation from each of the respective military services to ensure that the triage tools were evaluated respective to any service-unique requirements. Overall, the objective of the evaluation was to determine which triage tool could best meet the military’s requirements for procurement and worldwide dissemination. Selection of specific triage tools for evaluation was based on previous procurements by both the USSOCOM Program Office and by individual military operational units.
The following article covers how USSOCOM tested and selected a triage tool that best fit the military’s needs and requirements. The article was posted on DFI News by John Barbara from Digital Forensics Consulting, LLC.
