Engprax primarily provides forensic science services to assist in finding the truth in criminal and civil legal proceedings, operating primarily in the UK and Ireland.
We have worked on cases with a wide variety of forensic needs, from domestic abuse to attempted murder. Our case work has varied from investigating tampering of financial documents in divorce proceedings in the Republic of Ireland to investigating sexual offences in Devon & Cornwall. We have been instructed on cases which have been investigated by the National Crime Agency, Metropolitan Police, Greater Manchester Police, amongst others.
Outside the courtroom, our work has been covered in outlets including Forbes, The Times and the BBC.
We provide a full range of digital forensic science services, including (but not limited to) those requiring digital forensics (including mobile phone and computer forensics), cybersecurity investigations and data analysis (including geolocation and cell-site analysis).
Engprax provides highly accredited forensic investigators who can operate in civil cases (including family law) and criminal cases (including for serious offences including sexual abuse).
Our standard operating protocol allows us to work throughout the UK and Republic of Ireland regularly, including collaberating with police forces and defence teams.
We are uniquely able to provide Expert Witness Institute accredited expert witnesses holding the tripartite qualifications of terminal regulatory status, a doctorate education and real-world experience engineering large-scale systems. Moreover, with highly respected computer scientists who have also studied law and psychology, we can look beyond purely technical factors and conduct socio-technical investigations also.
Cases we have worked on have included:

Our scientific and investigative work has allowed us to advise dozens of organisations who have secured multi-million dollar funding to find product-market fit, and offer communications and marketing support allowing these products to be successfully taken to market.
Our particular areas of expertise are in B2B SaaS businesses, in particular in cybersecurity and software engineering.
Clients we have supported include Haystack (YCW21), LambdaTest, p0.inc, Risk Ledger, Silence Laboratories, etc. It isn't just high-growth start-ups we work with either, technology our team has worked on has been used by companies including Meta, Microsoft, Apple and Google.
We are regularly called upon to support corporate and government clients in strategy around technology and risks in socio-technical systems.
On multiple occasions, we have been asked to provide information to lawmakers in national legislatures alongside advising professional bodies and high-risk corporate leaders on how they gain maximum benefit from technology whilst minimising the risks.
During the national Post Office Horizon IT scandal in the UK, which has been subject to significant media coverage and a documentary, our pro-bono work enabled the removal of professional credentials from an individual who had used those credentials to provide faulty evidence which led to miscarriages of justice (with those wrongly imprisoned including a pregnant woman). It was reported the individual concerned lost his professional credentials the day before he was due to give further evidence, this time at the public inquiry into the scandal. This has been, and remains, the only instance of professional credentials being removed from someone involved in the scandal. (See our press release and Computer Weekly for details.)
At our disposal we have significant experience in engineering management, having worked in high-risk environments and successfully driven 95%+ improvements in metrics on delivery and quality. We are available to provide this expertise to customers in various forms and engage in hands-on work and training as required.
Our work on "Impact Engineering" has has challenged the dogmatic application of Agile practices and found an alternative approach which reduces failure rates by 6.5x and has been adopted in mission critical and high-growth environments.
