Everything You Need for Field-Grade Evidence Work
A complete evidence collection, processing, review, and production workflow engineered to run on a single machine — without compromising defensibility or chain of custody.
Forensic Image Processing
Chat & Social Reconstruction
Audio & Video Intelligence
PII Detection & Redaction
Precision Search & Evidence Filtering
Defensible Production
From Evidence Collection to Production in One Seamless Cycle
Every step of the investigation — immediately accessible, logically sequenced, and ready the moment it matters. No training sessions. No IT procurement. No cloud dependency. Just the case.
Ingest & Process
Load forensic images, mailboxes, chat exports, and documents. Discovery Lite deduplicates, extracts text, and builds the searchable index — silently, in the background.
Analyse & Understand
Instant visual analytics across custodians, file types, PII distribution, and date timelines — so you understand the evidence landscape before reviewing a single document.
Search & Filter
Keyword, Boolean, and metadata-driven search narrows your entire evidence set to precisely what matters. Image analysis surfaces embedded content automatically.
Review & Tag
Tag for responsiveness, privilege, and PII in a single pass. Every decision is timestamped, auditable, and defensible — ready for production the moment review ends.
Built for the Investigation That Cannot Wait
Five scenarios where cloud provisioning, IT procurement, and enterprise licensing are not options — and Discovery Lite is the only tool built for the job.
Digital Forensics & Investigations
Law enforcement analysts, forensic examiners, and investigation agencies can ingest seized devices and forensic images on-site — processing, reviewing, and producing findings before leaving the scene. No network. No cloud. No data leaving the investigator's control.
Solo Practitioner & Small Firm eDiscovery
Solo attorneys and small firm litigators who manage their own discovery can process, review, and produce on a single laptop — without enterprise licensing, IT support, or per-GB cloud costs eating into matter economics. The full eDiscovery (EDRM) lifecycle, sized for the individual practitioner.
On-Site & Classified Investigations
Intelligence units, government investigators, and corporate security teams operating in restricted environments can collect, analyse, and report on multiple evidence sources — entirely on-premise, with no data leaving the device or crossing any network boundary.
Compliance & Regulatory Response
Government agencies and regulated entities responding to data access requests (FOIA, DSAR, subject access requests) can process, review, and redact sensitive information with automated PII detection — keeping all data in-jurisdiction and eliminating per-document manual review.
Air-Gapped Incident Response
Security teams and incident responders operating in network-restricted environments can deploy Discovery Lite on an isolated machine to triage compromised data, identify PII exposure across 150+ types, and produce a defensible incident findings report — entirely offline, with no data leaving the device.
Built for Investigators Who Move With Their Work
Discovery Lite is purpose-built for practitioners who need a complete evidence lifecycle on the device in their bag — ready to deploy the moment they reach a scene, a case room, or a restricted facility. No provisioning ahead of time. No waiting on approvals. Just the capability, exactly where the work happens.

Installs in Minutes. Operates Anywhere.
A Windows application that lives on your machine. No servers, no provisioning, no IT ticket.
Single-seat. Standalone. Yours.
Discovery Lite runs as a local Windows application. All data — case files, processing indexes, review decisions, production outputs — stays on the machine where you installed it. No cloud sync. No remote storage. No data leaving your jurisdiction. Trusted by investigators and legal professionals across 120+ countries.
Annual flat-rate subscription. No per-GB processing fees. No overages. No minimum data commitments. Sized for the investigator — no or minimal learning curve. Up to 8 users per installation.
Deployment Requirements
Not a Scaled-Down Tool. A Purpose-Built One.
Discovery Lite is engineered from the ground up for the solo practitioner — not ported from an enterprise platform and stripped of capabilities.
Data Sovereignty by Architecture
One Tool, Complete Investigation Lifecycle
Audit-First, Not Audit-Afterthought
Sized for the Practitioner, Not the Enterprise Budget

Common Questions
Everything you need to know before your demo or purchase decision. Can't find your answer? Contact our technical team directly.
Discovery Lite natively ingests .e01 and .ex01 Expert Witness Format forensic containers, raw disk images, and logical forensic images. It also processes standard evidence package formats from leading acquisition tools. For a complete format compatibility list, download the capability sheet or contact our technical team.
Yes — completely. After installation, Discovery Lite requires no network connectivity of any kind. It processes, indexes, stores, and produces all data locally on the installed machine. It is fully operational in air-gapped, classified, and network-restricted environments.
Absolutely. A significant portion of Discovery Lite deployments are for internal investigations — HR misconduct inquiries, financial fraud reviews, compliance audits, and policy-violation cases that never reach litigation. The chain of custody and audit trail architecture is equally valuable for defensible internal findings as it is for court productions.
Discovery Lite reconstructs chat and social media archives — including WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, TikTok, Signal, and enterprise messaging platforms — into a native thread-based review interface. Conversations are presented chronologically in their original context, making them searchable, taggable, and producible.
Discovery Lite is licensed as a flat annual subscription for a single seat. There are no per-GB processing fees, no overage charges, and no minimum data commitments. Pricing is available upon request — contact our team to discuss volume or multi-seat arrangements.
Knovos Discovery is a multi-user, cloud or server-deployed enterprise platform built for high-volume, multi-matter workflows with full Knovos Insight AI capabilities. Discovery Lite is a single-seat, fully offline application for environments where data sovereignty, air-gap requirements, or solo practitioner workflows make enterprise infrastructure impractical. The right choice depends on your environment, not your organization’s size.
