Stop Drowning in Chain of Custody Logs, Hash Verifications & Exhibit Binders.
Let Us Run Your Digital Forensics Back Office & Case Admin.
From Chain of Custody (CoC) intake tracking and MD5/SHA-256 image verification logging to eDiscovery document tagging (Relativity/Nuix), OSINT domain archiving, court exhibit compilation, and retainer billing. Lead high-stakes cyber investigations while our managed virtual assistants and dedicated Project Manager handle the administrative casework.
Stop Trading Expert Forensic Analysis For Case Administrative Overhead
Your expert billing rate belongs in conducting deep memory parsing, reverse-engineering malware persistence, carving unallocated clusters, and preparing expert testimony for federal court—not keying in hardware serial numbers, sorting invoice retainers, or formatting 100-page exhibit appendices.
Zero Management Overhead
You don't have time to micro-manage junior clerks while responding to an active ransomware incident or court disclosure deadline. Your dedicated Sagedoer Project Manager enforces case logging SOPs, audits exhibit labeling, and acts as your operational liaison.
- PM validates exhibit formatting and hash tables prior to delivery
- Single accountable point of contact across ongoing investigations
Up to 70% Practice Cost Savings
Hiring full-time domestic forensic lab technicians or litigation support clerks costs $65,000–$90,000/year plus payroll taxes, benefits, and billable lull downtime. Sagedoer delivers meticulous, protocol-driven case support at a transparent $6–$7/hour flat rate.
- Flat $6 - $7/hr transparent billing
- Zero recruiter commissions or placement retainers
Air-Tight Confidentiality & CJIS/ISO Awareness

Digital Forensics Operations FAQ
Direct, honest answers regarding court admissibility standards, chain of custody integrity, evidence access boundaries, and sensitive casework security.
Court admissibility requires strict adherence to ISO 17025 standards and Federal Rules of Evidence (FRE Rule 902(14)). Our virtual assistants never access original raw physical evidence media. Primary acquisition and write-blocked imaging remain strictly in your certified examiner hands. Your assistant operates exclusively on metadata exports, secondary review workspaces (Relativity/Nuix), and hash verification logs—documenting cryptographic MD5/SHA-256 values, evidence serials, and write-blocker parameters into standardized audit ledgers that satisfy judicial scrutiny.
Privileged attorney-client work product and corporate forensic evidence require institutional InfoSec hygiene. Every Sagedoer virtual assistant and project manager operates under legally enforceable Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). We enforce clean-desk policies: VAs access your environment via client-controlled virtual desktops (Azure Virtual Desktop / AWS WorkSpaces) or role-based credentials managed in 1Password with mandatory 2FA. Working files reside exclusively within your authorized cloud infrastructure with zero unauthorized local persistence on remote endpoints.
Yes. Our compliance and technical assistants are trained across legal and forensic environments including Relativity, Nuix, Logikcull, Magnet AXIOM, FTK, and Autopsy. They ingest PST/MBOX archives, apply deduplication filters, execute keyword search matrices, flag responsive documents, crop and caption artifact screenshots, and package load files (.DAT / .OPT) for court production according to your laboratory SOPs.
You never have to manage or train your virtual assistant directly. Your dedicated Project Manager serves as your operational lab supervisor. You supply high-level directives (e.g., "Verify these 12 E01 image hashes against the physical drive log, configure the search term report in Relativity for Case 402, and format the timeline exhibit in Word by Thursday"), and your PM turns that into structured checklists, audits exhibit numbers, checks hash strings, and delivers a consolidated review package—100% free of charge.
None. You pay strictly for pure hours of active execution: $7/hour for part-time (20 hours/week) or $6/hour for full-time (40 hours/week). We do not charge setup fees, monthly platform retainers, or payment transaction surcharges. Your Project Manager’s supervision and quality audits are always included at $0 extra.
