Bobby Pabla — principal examiner
Led by a Court-Tested Examiner
and forensic casework
Every engagement is led personally by Bobby Pabla — an IACIS-certified examiner (CFCE, ICMDE) with more than 16 years in law enforcement and forensic casework. His career spans the New Zealand Police, the NZ Serious Fraud Office, Immigration New Zealand and PNG's Independent Commission Against Corruption, where he founded the Digital Forensic Unit. He has delivered written reports and live testimony in civil, criminal, family and insolvency matters. Your matter is never handed to an unaccredited subcontractor.
✓We use the same tools law enforcement use and rely on. As a bonus, you also get a forensic examiner who has been trained on and used these tools in operational environments.
Trusted by Legal Teams, Organisations and Individuals
Australia’s Trusted Digital Forensics Experts
A fast, timely response — they came on site, examined our systems in full and built a clear picture of exactly what data our ex-employee had taken.
Clear, defensible and delivered on time. The report did exactly what we needed it to do in front of the court.
The prosecution's phone report looked watertight until Foren6ix reviewed it. What they found changed how we ran the whole defence.
We engaged Foren6ix for a family matter involving domestic violence. Bobby was professional and compassionate throughout, and went above and beyond on a very sensitive case. His law enforcement background was invaluable. I couldn't recommend him more highly.
Common Questions

Why choose Foren6ix over another firm?+
You deal directly with an examiner who has worked at the coalface of digital forensics, and that same examiner handles your matter from start to finish. Bobby Pabla brings 16 years of law enforcement and government investigation experience, so you don't just get someone qualified in digital forensics: you get the experience behind the qualifications. We understand how the other side builds its case, and what it takes for evidence to hold up.
Can you act as an expert witness?+
Yes. We deliver independent forensic analysis, expert reports and testimony for civil, criminal, family and insolvency matters.
How is chain of custody maintained?+
All evidence is handled under strict chain-of-custody protocols, ensuring integrity and admissibility in legal proceedings.
Why not just ask our IT team?+
IT teams keep systems running; forensic examiners preserve evidence. Well-meaning IT investigation routinely overwrites timestamps and access records, often destroying the very evidence that would have proven the case. A forensic process keeps everything admissible.
Will looking through the device myself cause a problem?+
It can. Simply opening files changes metadata, and continued use of a device can permanently overwrite deleted material. If you suspect a device holds evidence: stop using it, don't let anyone "have a look", and call us.
Can you work with us if we're interstate or overseas?+
Yes. Most disclosure and report reviews are done remotely. Devices can be sent by tracked courier under documented chain of custody, or collected on site by arrangement, anywhere in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific.
How long does an examination take?+
It depends on the number of devices, the volume of data and what the matter needs to establish. You get a realistic timeframe in the written estimate before work begins, and matters with court deadlines are prioritised.
