Collection Types Strategy: Confidently Collect the Right Data for Any Case

Learn how to choose the right collection method for any case, any device, anywhere.

Digital evidence lives everywhere today—across mobile devices, computers, cloud applications, and increasingly complex operating systems. Enterprise teams are forced to collect from devices across hybrid work environments, distributed endpoints, expanding app ecosystems, and rising data volumes. Investigators must find the right balance between avoiding risky under collection and costly over collection.  Choosing the right collection workflow has never mattered more. 

In this session, we’ll break down the full spectrum of modern collection types with examples of when to collect from each in real world scenarios that will enable you to build a defensible, scalable approach for any investigation: 

• Remote Collection: Securely collect from endpoints anywhere, reducing delays and getting the data you need faster. 

• Logical Collection: Quickly gather only the key artifacts (messages, documents, and app data) while keeping volumes lean and privacy intact. 

• Targeted Collection: Zero in on specific users, folders, or data types to cut review time and maintain a defensible, narrowly scoped workflow. 

• FullFile System (FFS) Collection: Capture deep‑level data, including deleted content and system artifacts, when the full story is required. 

A Right‑Sized Strategy for Every Case 

We’ll walk through how organizations sequence these workflows to protect privacy, reduce costs and speed time to resolution. 

Why Attend? 

You’ll walk away with a clear understanding of: 

✔ When to choose remote vs. logical vs. targeted vs. FFS 

✔ How to balance privacy, scope, cost, and defensibility 

✔ How to build a rightsized collection strategy for any device 

✔ How modern tools accelerate time to evidence across every team
