Harding University Digital Forensics Lab

First week back to School!
After a productive summer, we are glad to have our students back in the Lab. They are already back to investigating, sharpening their digital forensics skills, and helping keep HUDFL moving forward. We are excited for all that's ahead this year!

Recap from our Forensic Seminar!
We had a great time connecting with law enforcement officers from across Arkansas and learning more about how technology can support their work. Thank you to everyone who joined us!

Digital Evidence is the new DNA! Our mission is to continue to provide education for LEOs on how to handle and process digital evidence!

Quality Management is vital to maintaining our accreditation and staying credible for the agencies we serve. Our Quality Manager, Sage, has successfully completed two ANAB training courses for auditing ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. These certifications strengthen our commitment to quality, accreditation, and delivering trusted digital forensic services.

Our team had a great time participating in the Tips, Tactics, and Tools podcast with and Herring Technology and Defense. We also appreciated the opportunity to see Metro Nashville Police HQ, visit their Specialized Investigation Division, and meet with detectives in their Digital Forensics Unit.

Chain of Custody is the backbone of every forensic investigation 🔍

We will be closed for the July 4th weekend!

While the lab is closed, here are a few tips to help preserve digital evidence:
1. Keep it charged 🔋
2. Keep it in a Faraday bag📶
3. If possible, put it in airplane mode✈
