CASEY Native · Forensic case management
One defensible record, from submission to court.
CASEY is the system of record for a digital forensic unit. Managers see and direct the work, examiners record it as they go, and every step is kept in one audited, tamper-evident case record on your own infrastructure.
What CASEY gives a unit
Replace the spreadsheets, registers and paper forms.
Most units piece a case together from separate systems before an inspection or a trial. CASEY keeps it in one place from the start.
Visibility
Every case, exhibit and examiner’s workload, live, so managers allocate work instead of chasing status.
Consistency
Every exhibit examined and recorded to the same standard, whoever does the work.
Defensibility
Continuity for every exhibit and an audit trail that shows if anything has been altered.
Accreditation
Peer review, competence and validation recorded as part of the work. Used within UKAS-accredited environments.
The lifecycle
Every stage of a case, in one place.
- 01
Receive
Record the submission, its requirements and exhibits, and set priorities consistently across the unit.
- 02
Examine
Plan each examination, then record what was done, with what and when, as it happens.
- 03
Assure
Self-assessment and peer review before anything leaves the unit, with the results kept on the case.
- 04
Report & return
Generate statements and reports from your own templates, return property and close the case properly.
Two modules, one record
Oversight for managers. A workbench for examiners.
Both modules work on the same live data behind one sign-in, so a manager’s view is never out of date.
Run the unit from the record
For heads of unit, supervisors and administrators: intake and allocation, workload and performance, assets, quality and the configuration of CASEY itself.
Explore Manage INVESTIGATEContemporaneous notes, built into the work
For examiners: the case at a glance, each exhibit’s examination, online investigations, tasks and time, and reports built from what was recorded.
Explore InvestigateIn practice
Know where every case stands without asking.
Each case shows its progress, exhibits, people, dates and open work at a glance, so an OIC can be briefed, or a review prepared, in minutes.

Integrations
Works with the tools your unit already uses.
Connected systems get their own limited credentials, so a backup job or a dashboard never borrows a person’s login.
Imaging, your way
CASEY’s own built-in imager, X-Ways Forensics or OpenText Tableau TX1 and TX2, with the results recorded in the exhibit.
X-Ways Forensics
Launched from the exhibit to image a disk or examine the evidence, with the items ready.
Cameras & scanners
Exhibit photographs and scanned documents captured straight into the case.
Backup & export
Encrypted case backups, and an export of cases and registers for business continuity.
Explore by area
Go deeper.
Each area of CASEY has its own page, with the detail a head of unit, a quality manager or an IT team will ask about.
Imaging & Processing
Image with CASEY Imager, X-Ways or TX1/TX2, with progress visible to the whole department.
