Digital Forensics

Incident Response and Digital Evidence

When a security incident occurs, preserving evidence and understanding what happened are critical. Our digital forensics team deploys rapidly to contain threats, preserve volatile evidence, and conduct thorough investigations that reveal the full scope and timeline of an incident.

Whether you are dealing with a ransomware attack, data breach, insider threat, or suspected compromise, our DFIR (Digital Forensics and Incident Response) team has the expertise and tools to investigate, remediate, and help you recover. We follow industry-standard chain of custody procedures to ensure all evidence is admissible in legal proceedings if needed.

Our Forensic Services

• Incident Response — Rapid deployment to contain active threats, preserve evidence, and minimize damage. Our team is available 24/7 with guaranteed response times.
• Malware Analysis — Static and dynamic analysis of malicious software to understand capabilities, communication channels, persistence mechanisms, and attribution indicators.
• Memory Forensics — Analysis of volatile memory (RAM) to detect fileless malware, injected code, encryption keys, and artifacts that are not present on disk.
• Disk Forensics — Full disk imaging, file system analysis, deleted file recovery, timeline reconstruction, and artifact extraction from Windows, Linux, and macOS systems.
• Network Forensics — Packet capture analysis, network traffic reconstruction, lateral movement tracking, and data exfiltration detection using flow data and deep packet inspection.
• Cloud Forensics — Investigation of incidents in AWS, Azure, and GCP environments including log analysis, API call reconstruction, and cloud-specific artifact collection.
• Mobile Device Forensics — Evidence extraction and analysis from iOS and Android devices including messaging apps, location data, call logs, and application data.
• Email Forensics — Analysis of phishing campaigns, business email compromise (BEC) incidents, email header analysis, and mailbox compromise investigation.

Our Investigation Process

Our forensic investigations follow a structured methodology designed to be thorough, defensible, and efficient. We begin with evidence identification and preservation using write-blockers and forensic imaging tools to create bit-for-bit copies without modifying original evidence. Analysis is conducted on forensic copies using industry-standard tools including EnCase, FTK, Autopsy, Volatility, and custom scripts.

Throughout the investigation, we maintain detailed documentation including chain of custody records, analysis notes, and tool output. Our final reports include an executive summary, detailed technical findings, timeline of events, indicators of compromise (IOCs), and recommendations for preventing similar incidents.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you respond to an incident?

Our incident response team is available 24/7. For retainer clients, we guarantee on-site or remote deployment within 4 hours. For non-retainer clients, we typically begin engagement within 24 hours.

Can your findings be used in court?

Yes. Our forensic investigators follow strict chain of custody procedures and use forensically sound methods. Our reports are designed to be court-admissible, and our experts are available to provide testimony if needed. See our Legal Forensics page for more details.

What should we do immediately if we suspect a breach?

Preserve evidence by avoiding shutting down or wiping affected systems. Isolate compromised systems from the network but keep them powered on to preserve volatile memory. Document everything you observe and contact our incident response team immediately.
