The Name Behind the Tools
Compelson didn’t just join mobile forensics — it started the field, building the first mobile forensic tool back in 1996. Three decades on, its MOBILedit Forensic is rated by NIST and used by the FBI, the IRS and law enforcement in over 75 countries. What sets it apart is depth where it counts most: app analysis. A dedicated team does nothing but crack open the messaging and social apps where modern evidence lives — recovering conversations and deleted data that other tools walk straight past.
Why This Matters
- The evidence isn't in the call log anymore — it's inside WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram and a hundred niche apps. If your tool can't parse them, you've missed the case.
- Suspects delete. Chats, apps, whole accounts — gone before the phone is seized. Recovering that deleted app data is a specialist skill, not a checkbox.
- Apps update constantly. A forensic tool that ships updates twice a year is always a step behind the apps it's meant to read.
How SIAGA Works With Compelson
What SIAGA Delivers From Compelson
- MOBILedit Forensic Ultra — the complete edition: extract and analyse phones, smartwatches and cloud accounts in one tool.
- MOBILedit Forensic Express — a fast, one-touch field extractor simple enough that any officer can run it.

- Live Updates — new devices, chipsets, apps and bypasses added on the fly, with no reinstall.
MOBILedit works the way real cases do. It takes logical and physical extractions across thousands of devices — modern iPhones and Androids, legacy handsets, even feature phones — and opens images from JTAG and chip-off too. Then it goes deep: recovering deleted records, parsing hidden spaces like Samsung’s Secure Folder and Android’s private space, and pulling conversations out of apps that don’t give them up easily. When an app is fully locked down, Smart Screenshots captures the content on screen automatically. And thanks to Live Updates, support for the newest phones and apps arrives without you lifting a finger.
SIAGA helps you place MOBILedit where it earns its keep. For some teams it’s the affordable, easy field tool that gets frontline officers extracting phones on day one; for others it’s the specialist that finishes the job when another tool can’t read an app. We supply, deploy and train, and pair it with the rest of your mobile toolkit so nothing on a device stays out of reach. When the truth is buried in an app, this is how you dig it out.
