1. What is Probatia?

Language: English | Spanish

Probatia is a platform for case management and scientific-forensic analysis of digital evidence. Its goal is to ensure that every piece of evidence can be collected, preserved, analyzed, and presented with verifiable traceability and evidentiary value.

1.1. Documentation approach

This guide is designed to be:

  • Brief: focused on workflow and key decisions.
  • Technical: explicit about integrity, traceability, and chain-of-custody controls.
  • Clear: understandable for non-technical roles without losing technical rigor.

1.2. Who is it for?

The documentation supports multiple profiles working on the same case:

  • Forensic experts: technical acquisition, analysis, and validation of evidence.
  • Investigators: operational coordination of actions, operations, and units.
  • Lawyers and legal advisors: review of authenticity, context, and report robustness.
  • Other roles: compliance, supervision, and audit stakeholders.

1.3. Two reading levels

To support technical and legal audiences at the same time, each module can be read at two levels:

  1. Operational level: what to do, in what order, and expected outcomes.
  2. Technical level: how data integrity and chain of custody are preserved.

Both levels share the same case model, so all teams can work with a common language.

1.4. Common workflow in Probatia

The core platform workflow is:

  1. Create the case.
  2. Define actions and, when needed, operations.
  3. Register seized and recording devices.
  4. Ingest and manage digital and multimedia evidence.
  5. Analyze findings and generate reports.

Probatia workflow phases.

1.5. Progressive learning path

To adopt the platform gradually, use this order:

  1. Cases
  2. Actions
  3. Seized and recording devices
  4. Evidence management
  5. Operations
  6. Reports

1.6. Key capabilities

Probatia integrates, in a single environment:

  • Case structure by case, action, and operation.
  • Evidence-to-device linkage with acquisition context.
  • Event logging for traceability and auditability.
  • Technical analysis support and collaborative review.
  • Expert report generation for judicial use.
