MARA MANAGED COLLECTIONS

A collection to coordinate.
A person to handle it.

MARA helps law firms, litigation teams, and discovery providers collect evidence without managing the technical process themselves. Start with one phone, or bring us the custodians across your matters.

Discuss a collection How it works

REMOTE MOBILE COLLECTION

Their location.
Our guidance.

Choose a full collection or target calls, messages, contacts, or a selected combination. MARA agrees the scope with your firm and guides the remote collection.

Full collection delivers the broader supported dataset. Targeted collection limits the delivered dataset to your selected supported categories. Supported messages can include SMS, iMessage, WhatsApp and Signal evidence.

iPhone full collections use a Windows PC or Mac; targeted iPhone collections use Windows. Android supports a full collection through the MARA desktop app or directly on the phone, including WhatsApp, Signal and texts. The phone app requires no computer connection and can upload the completed collection directly to your portal. MARA confirms the setup and coordinates the practical steps with the custodian.

New: MARA Targeted Pro. When collecting a whole phone is too much, the custodian chooses the apps and conversations to include, within the date range their examiner sets, previews each conversation on their own computer, and confirms before anything is sent.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE

Your evidence.
Delivered to your team.

Tell us who needs to review the data and how they plan to use it. We confirm the delivery format before collection and provide the agreed evidence package with collection documentation.

Collect

The agreed source and scope, collected with MARA’s guidance.

Deliver

The collection package and documentation, in the agreed supported format.

Review

A handoff for your legal, forensic, or discovery team. Further analysis is agreed separately.

For your legal team

Discuss who will read the material and the questions they need to address. A readable export, where supported, describes collected records; it is not an investigative findings report.

For your forensic or discovery provider

Bring the receiving team’s requirements into the scope discussion. Delivery is arranged in a supported format that meets the agreed handoff.

BUILT INTO THE TRANSFER

Protected in transit.
Encrypted in storage.

MARA’s transfer system uses encrypted connections and private cloud storage. Uploaded evidence is encrypted at rest, with access restricted to authorized users.

FORENSIC ANALYSIS & REPORTING

Answer the questions
behind the evidence.

MARA helps legal and investigative teams examine digital evidence and answer questions specific to their matters. Engage us for a collection, an analysis assignment, or both.

Communications and timelines
Examine messages, application data and associated metadata to reconstruct relevant events and understand the available record.
User activity and disputed events
Investigate alleged data theft, insider activity and other technical questions using mobile, computer, email and cloud evidence.
Findings and expert support
Prepare written findings, affidavits and expert materials, and explain forensic evidence through testimony where required.

We agree the questions, evidence sources and deliverables at the outset. Analysis, findings reports and expert work are scoped separately from collection.

PRACTICAL QUESTIONS

Know what happens next.

Can we use a Mac?

Yes, for supported iPhone full collections. The targeted iPhone workflow uses Windows. Android collections can use the MARA desktop app or the phone app. The phone app requires no computer connection and supports direct upload to the portal. MARA confirms the appropriate setup before collection.

Do we need to buy the software?

No. You can engage MARA to guide a remote mobile collection without purchasing forensic software or asking your legal team to operate it.

Can we start with a single phone?

Yes. Tell us whether you have one device or a collection involving multiple custodians or matters, along with your timing. There is no need to identify an exact phone model or operating system in the initial inquiry.

What is included in the delivery?

The agreed evidence package and collection documentation, delivered in the supported format confirmed for your engagement. Discuss the receiving legal, forensic, or discovery team’s requirements before collection. MARA also provides forensic analysis, findings reports and expert support, with a separate scope agreed for your matter.

How is the data handled after collection?

Delivery is arranged through the agreed evidence handoff for the engagement. The initial website inquiry is for general logistics and does not accept evidence. Access, storage, retention, and deletion terms need to be established in the engagement; this page does not set a retention period.
