EASY Forensics: A Game Changer for Small Businesses

EASY Forensics, a simplified forensic tool developed by Legal Data Inc., has recently been registered as an eligible IT tool under the 2026 Digitalization and AI Introduction Subsidy Program promoted by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Small and Medium Enterprise Agency. This initiative aims to aid small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in their digital transformation efforts by alleviating the financial burden of technology implementation.

Subsidy Impact on SMEs

With this inclusion, small and micro-enterprises can now apply for financial assistance to cover a portion of the licensing costs for EASY Forensics through grant applications and approvals. As a result, the operational costs associated with establishing a digital forensic investigation setup are significantly reduced, allowing SMEs to carry out preliminary investigations more efficiently.

The Need for Forensic Tools in SMEs

The relevance of digital evidence preservation and initial investigative operations has never been more crucial, especially for SMEs facing an increase in compliance risks related to internal fraud, data breaches, policy violations, and labor disputes. Many small businesses have been hesitant to fully utilize professional forensic investigation services due to the high costs and lack of specialized personnel.

EASY Forensics was created to address these issues, allowing companies without specialized knowledge to conduct initial investigations internally. The recent registration as an eligible IT tool for subsidies provides an attractive option for SMEs to consider, easing the path toward integrating digital forensic capabilities.

Features of EASY Forensics

EASY Forensics is designed to enable businesses to conduct objective analyses based on actual data such as operation logs and usage histories. It supports initial investigations surrounding data leaks, internal fraud, violations of workplace rules, and labor risks. The tool is remarkably user-friendly; it operates via a USB device that connects directly to the target PC.

Key Features Include:

• - No Installation Required: Simply plug in the USB to use the tool.
• - Easy Data Preservation and Log Analysis: Allows users to handle forensic tasks easily and effectively.
• - Automated Report Generation: Quickly compiles reports, saving time for other priorities.
• - Personal Information Detection: Helps in checking for sensitive data, a necessity in today’s compliance-focused environment.
• - No Specialized Knowledge Needed: The tool is intuitive enough for non-experts to operate without extensive training.
