BROADER SCOPE
For matters requiring the broader available phone collection.
Collect the broader supported device dataset when a full collection is appropriate for the matter.
SELECTED CATEGORIES
Choose one or more supported categories when the requested scope is narrower.
Targeted collection limits the delivered dataset to the selected supported categories, with the supporting files needed for those artifacts. Available content depends on the device and collection method.

INSIDE THE APPLICATION
Actual MARA Remote Acquire Windows application captures with synthetic presentation data. Select a view, or open a full-size image to read the interface.
THE GUIDED CONNECTION
Install MARA Remote Acquire on a Windows PC or Mac, connect the phone, and follow the guided collection process with MARA.
The collection application runs on the computer. The custodian participates by connecting the phone and responding to the steps required on that device. iPhone and Android have their own connection and authorization instructions.
Both phone platforms can be used with either supported host platform: iPhone or Android, Windows or Mac.
Your firm engages the managed collection service. Naming the technology does not require your firm to purchase a software license or operate a forensic workstation.
The captures above show the working Windows application with synthetic presentation data. Host-specific instructions depend on the supported collection path.
ALL THEY NEED
A computer and their phone are all they need. We send the app and guide the rest.
