Core offering

AVAIL Forensics designs, assembles, and sells custom-engineered digital forensic hardware—DAVE Field Triage Kits, DAVE Data Vault Lab Solutions, and FARADAY shielding products—while integrating best-of-breed third-party forensic imagers (Tableau TX1, Atola TaskForce) and forensic software for law enforcement, military, and government investigators. The company offers both direct e-commerce sales of catalog hardware and consultative enterprise sales of high-value DAVE Data Vault Lab Solutions and custom Field Triage Kits. It also provides E-Discovery consulting services and supports GSA Schedule federal procurement.

Product overview

AVAIL Forensics Systems is a privately owned, North Carolina-based digital forensics hardware reseller and integrator organized around several interoperable product lines. At the center is the DAVE (Digital Acquisition & Forensic Evidence) platform, which spans four coherent layers: DAVE Mobile Field Interview Solution Kits and the DAVE FT200 / DAVE FT250 / DAVE FT FREAK 2-S Field Triage Kits for on-scene acquisition; the DAVE Data Vault Lab Solution 2 and Solution 3, which are Intel Xeon-based central repositories that virtualize AccessData FTK and Guidance Software EnCase for the lab; and DAVE-branded disposable anti-static Faraday bags for evidence transport. Layered on top of DAVE, AVAIL distributes and integrates third-party forensic imaging hardware from Tableau (TX1, TX1 Pro, Ultimate Kit + TX1 Pro) and Atola Technology (TaskForce, TaskForce 2, Insight Forensic DS2, and a TaskForce Rugged Pelican Case). For RF isolation and shielded device handling, AVAIL resells the full Mission Darkness (MOS) line, including the BlockBox Lab XL (with and without camera mount), BlockBox Touch and BlockBox Touch USB 3, the Blocker Locker 7 (base, with CELL bags, and with TAB bags), the Faraday Duffel Bag X2, Dry Shield Faraday Backpack 40L and Tote 15L, MOLLE Faraday Pouch, T10 Tower Bag, Keyfob Bag, cell/tablet/laptop Faraday bags with and without windows, and the Revelation EMP Shield. AVAIL also sells its own StrongHold branded cabinets (Locker 10, FARADAY Tent 8, MotherShip Crack Cabinets in 40/60/80 sizes) and StrongHold Charge/Sync/Shield XL-FARADAY Bag, plus the Susteen DATAPILOT X cellphone acquisition device. The portfolio is aimed at law enforcement, military, government, colleges/universities, financial institutions, corporations, and law firms worldwide.
