Computer Forensic Expert Witness FAQs

What’s the difference between an IT Expert Witness and a Digital Forensic Expert?

An IT Expert Witness provides testimony related to technology operations, vendor practices, or compliance standards. A Digital Forensic Expert, on the other hand, focuses on evidence recovery and preservation following a breach or data loss.

Do IT Expert Witness services overlap with audits?

They can. Audits identify potential issues, while expert witnesses interpret those findings within a legal context, determining whether standards of care were met.

How is GO Technology Group different from other forensic firms?

Unlike firms that focus exclusively on forensics, GO Technology Group combines technical depth with decades of experience managing real-world IT environments—from municipal networks to law firms and private businesses. This unique background ensures a balanced, factual perspective rooted in operational knowledge.
