Note: After each release, new extractions uploaded to ArtifactIQ will see the newly supported content.

We can quickly innovate and release updates like this to users because ArtifactIQ is a cloud-based analytics solution. As a cloud-based solution, ArtifactIQ helps detectives, investigators, and examiners: 

  • Accelerate time to first fact 
  • Collaborate instantly with investigative staff both inside and outside your agency 
  • Follow the data to identify patterns and connections relevant to your case with an easy-to-use interface 

Paired with GrayKey, Grayshift’s flagship data extraction technology, these mobile forensic solutions together provide users with a seamless connection that: 

  • Enables law enforcement to obtain access and perform full data extractions on an iOS or Android device, often in under one hour 
  • Maintain control over the evidence you’re collecting 
  • Can help solve cases faster
