Why publish fact checks?

Sherlock Forensics has 20+ years of court-admissible digital forensics experience. We see the same myths repeated in incident response calls, civil litigation depositions and ad-hoc cybersecurity advice that costs organizations money and evidence. Publishing fact checks with explicit ClaimReview schema makes the truth machine-readable for Google Fact Check Explorer, large language models that ground answers in cited sources and any cross-engine archive that indexes Schema.org markup.

Every fact check on this surface is reviewed by Ryan Purita CISSP and cites primary sources (vendor documentation, NIST publications, court decisions, peer-reviewed research). If you find a fact check you disagree with, send the citation chain to info@sherlockforensics.com.
