PwC professionals assist companies involved in investigative or litigation to locate, recover, preserve and analyze electronically-stored information such as email while preserving its evidentiary value. When a computer system project goes awry, PwC professionals identify the nature of the failure, determine whether the system was improperly constructed in the first place, assess software applications for design flaws and evaluate whether the system or applications meet performance standards. In the case of a dispute, our IT professionals serve as expert witnesses.
For companies that need assistance preventing cyber crime, we can design and build a security system from scratch or test existing systems to ensure their integrity. We also help companies respond to specific security-related incidents to minimize their impact on the business.
