First Digital and Techno-Law Forensics Company Limited (otherwise known as First Digital Forensics), as the name implies, is the first indigenous digital, mobile and computer forensics company in Nigeria. The company started out as Rockshire Computer Technologies, which was registered on 29th January 1996 to provide high quality consulting services in information communication technology, capacity building, public financial management, electronic accounting and electronic auditing; and the acquisition and implementation of ICT systems for public sector budget, treasury and financial management, accounting and human resource management. Since then, it commenced the training of auditors, accountants and others in electronic accounting, electronic auditing, forensic accounting and computer forensics.
