Who uses Faraday Bags?

Millitary and Intelligent Agencies use Faraday bags to prevent unwanted applications being invoked remotely or data altered after devices are seized.

Law Enforcement organisations use Faraday bags to maintain a secure chain of custody from point of seizure to examination.

Forensic Investigators use the 'Lab Edition' Faraday bags during analysis of exhibits and view results directly from the mobile exhibit's screen. (This ensures that the exhibit can't be remotely wiped or accessed by anyone other than the examiner.)

Corporate Clients use Faraday bags to safeguard their phones, laptops and tablets during sensitive meetings, in transit or in situations where their electronic devices might be vulnerable to interception.

Why Use Faraday Bags?

• Stops the data on your mobile phone or device being remotely erased by the suspect or their allies.
• Avoids the problem of the mobile phone or device becoming PIN locked.
• Avoids the problem of the mobile phone or device becoming PUK locked.
• ‘Lab Edition’ models have a window that allows the user to preview evidence on suspects’ phone, secure in the knowledge that the phone is being investigated without fear of remote access. The Phone-Shield Faraday Bag was the first bag in the world to offer this.
• Speeds up investigation times.
• Reduces force/agency costs.
• Re-useable
• Portable – The Phone-Shield Faraday Bag by Disklabs can be fit onto the utility belt of an officer, or pocketed for simple, light transportation.
• Negates the need for an expensive faraday cage

Business benefits in the commercial world

• Stops the data on your mobile phone or device being remotely erased by the suspect or their allies.
• Avoids the problem of the mobile phone becoming PIN locked.
• Avoids the problem of the mobile phone becoming PUK locked.
• Evidence models have a ‘Window’ that allows user the ‘preview’ evidence on suspects phone secure in the knowledge that the phone is being investigated in a Faraday Situation. The Phone-Shield Faraday Bag was the first bag in the world to offer this.
• Allows On-Site acquisition of Mobile Phone Evidence.
• Speeds up investigation times.
• Reduces force/agency costs.
• Re-useable
• Portable – The Phone-Shield Faraday Bag by Disklabs can be fit onto the utility belt of a beat officer, or pocketed for simple, light transportation.
• Negates the need for an expensive faraday cage
• To prevent the data from the networks communicating with the device, therefore stops any chance of evidence being tainted.
• Prevents any chance of evidence being manipulated during covert acquisition.
• Mobile Phone can still be turned on during flight, thus not losing any data

Faraday Bag features: 

• Prevents connectivity to cellular networks, WiFi and Bluetooth.
• Effective shielding at 900Mhz, 1.8Ghz, 1.9Ghz, 2.1Ghz, (2G, 3G, 4G), 2.4Ghz, (Bluetooth 1, 2, 3, 4 and WiFi) up to 70dB. 1.22Ghz & 1.57Ghz (SatNav/GPS).
• Multi use specially coated metallic shielding material that uses ripstop technology, for added strength and durability. 
• British manufacturing to ISO9001-2008 Quality Standards.

The Technology – how it works

Disklabs Faraday Bag is an enclosure formed by a multi-layered conductive mesh, coated in a rip-stop nylon, (the same material that parachutes are made of), then covered in a polyurethane outer skin to ensure the product is robust and fit for purpose.
