Digital Forensics

Root-cause investigation and evidence handling after an incident.

Overview

When a breach occurs, understanding exactly what happened, when, and how far it spread is critical for containment, legal exposure, and regulatory notification. Our digital forensics team preserves evidence using chain-of-custody procedures suitable for legal proceedings, then reconstructs the full attack timeline across endpoints, network devices, cloud logs, and memory artifacts.

Business Benefits

  • Chain-of-custody evidence handling suitable for litigation and law enforcement referral
  • Full timeline reconstruction across endpoint, network, cloud, and memory artifacts
  • Root-cause identification to prevent recurrence, not just symptom remediation
  • Supports regulatory breach notification requirements with defensible findings
  • Available on retainer for guaranteed response times

How We Work

Our Process & Methodology

  1. 1

    Evidence Preservation

    Forensic images and memory captures are taken using write-blocking and hashing procedures to preserve evidentiary integrity.

  2. 2

    Triage & Scoping

    We rapidly identify affected systems and the likely scope of compromise to guide containment decisions.

  3. 3

    Deep Forensic Analysis

    Disk, memory, log, and network artifacts are analyzed to reconstruct attacker actions and timeline.

  4. 4

    Root Cause Determination

    We identify the initial access vector and every subsequent action taken by the threat actor.

  5. 5

    Reporting & Legal Support

    A formal forensic report is delivered, with expert witness support available if required.
