RF & EMI Shielding for Digital Forensics
Digital forensics room shielding that passes inspection the first time.
Experts in Digital Forensics Shielding
One team, from concept to closeout
Don’t gamble with chain of custody, acquisition integrity, or lab uptime by settling for “good enough” RF/EMI shielding. We deliver end-to-end shielding design and implementation support so your digital forensics lab stays controlled, compliant, and resistant to interference that can disrupt imaging, analysis, and secure handling of devices.
Digital Forensics RF/EMI Shielding FAQ
Because interference can disrupt imaging/extractions, introduce errors, or create inconsistent results—especially with sensitive equipment, wireless signals, and high-noise building systems nearby. Shielding helps keep the lab environment stable and controlled.
RF shielding focuses on blocking radio signals (cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, two-way radio). EMI shielding is broader and includes electrical noise from power, motors, lighting, elevators, and IT gear that can interfere with electronics. Most digital forensics spaces benefit from both.
Common targets:
- Device intake and triage
- Imaging/extraction rooms
- Secure exam rooms (mobile devices, laptops, IoT)
- Evidence storage (especially devices that must stay isolated)
- Interview rooms where electronics are present or prohibited signals matter
A “Faraday room” is basically a fully enclosed RF shielded room (walls, ceiling, floor) with shielded penetrations and doors—so yes, that’s a common approach for digital forensics when strong isolation is required.
If designed correctly, yes—shielding reduces or eliminates outside signals. If you need internal connectivity, you plan for it: filtered penetrations, controlled internal networks, and intentional signal management (not accidental leaks).
That’s the whole game. We design and coordinate:
- Shielded doors and frames
- Waveguides / honeycomb vents for HVAC
- Filtered power (and bonding/grounding)
- Fiber/data penetrations, conduit bonding, and proper gasketing
- Pass-throughs and access panels that maintain continuity
Attenuation is how much the room reduces signal strength across frequencies. The “right” target depends on your threat model (cell/Wi-Fi isolation vs. broad-spectrum control), your environment, and what you’re protecting. We help set realistic performance requirements before anything gets built.
Yes. Retrofits are common. The key is surveying the existing construction and MEP conditions early, then designing around constraints like door openings, existing ductwork, and cable paths.
Best starting set:
- Room dimensions and location (plans if you have them)
- Intended use (imaging, mobile device isolation, storage, etc.)
- Required performance goals (or the constraints you’re trying to solve)
- Known penetrations (HVAC, power, data, fire protection, security devices)
- Project timeline (new build vs retrofit)
