Forensic Analytics and Geoff Smith Associates Announce Strategic Partnership

This collaboration brings together two established leaders in their respective domains, GSA in communications data acquisition and Forensic Analytics in advanced digital forensic analysis. By integrating CSAS and CSAS Find with GSA CycComms specialist communications data platforms and cloud infrastructure, the partnership delivers a seamless, end-to-end investigative ecosystem. 

The result is a unified workflow that supports the entire investigative lifecycle, from data acquisition through to evidential reporting, accelerating investigations and unlocking new operational capabilities for policing and government agencies. 

A Technology-Led Partnership 

This is not a traditional reseller arrangement. Instead, the partnership is built on a shared commitment to co-development, deep integration, and long-term innovation. 

Forensic Analytics and GSA will work closely to design and deliver solutions that reduce fragmentation, improve interoperability, and enable investigators to operate more efficiently with increasingly complex datasets. 

Together, Forensic Analytics and GSA will: 

• Develop integrated solutions combining analytics and communications data 

• Align product roadmaps across data ingestion, processing, and reporting 

• Work jointly across policing and central government markets 

• Ensure smooth, secure interoperability between platforms 

How the Partnership Works 

The partnership operates through a phased integration and delivery model designed to create a fully connected investigative ecosystem. 

• GSA CycComms provide a trusted foundation for communications data acquisition and management, capturing, organising, and preparing data from mobile networks and cloud-based sources 

• Forensic Analytics platforms deliver the processing, analysis, and evidential outputs, transforming raw data into actionable intelligence for investigators 

• CSAS 360 acts as the central integration hub, orchestrating the flow between systems and enabling data ingestion, analytics workflows, and integrated reporting across the full product suite which includes CSAS and CSAS Find. 

This joined-up approach removes friction between traditionally separate stages of an investigation, allowing data to move seamlessly from capture through to insight. 

Customers benefit from joint delivery and coordinated deployments, with both organisations working together to implement and support solutions. In addition, simplified procurement options, including bundled offerings, make it easier for agencies to adopt and scale the combined capability.

A Unified Vision for Digital Forensics 

This partnership represents a step towards a fully connected digital forensics ecosystem, enabling organisations to work with greater speed, clarity, and confidence. 

Both organisations are already progressing integration and engaging customers on early deployments.

I’m delighted to form this partnership between GSA and Forensic Analytics and I’m incredibly excited about what we can achieve, together, when it comes to the investigation-critical area of communications data acquisition and exploitation.

- Dave Blackburn, Commercial Director, Geoff Smith Associates

We are really excited about this partnership because it brings together two organisations with a shared ambition to make digital investigations faster, more connected and more effective. By combining GSA’s strengths in communications data acquisition with Forensic Analytics’ expertise in analysis and evidential reporting, we can deliver a genuinely joined up capability that helps investigators move from data to evidential insight with greater speed and confidence.
