Digital Forensics Investigation Services

Overview

Our digital forensics service examines endpoints, servers, storage media, cloud environments and other evidence sources to reconstruct events. We investigate attacker activity, program execution, persistence and data access, maintaining integrity verification and chain-of-custody records throughout.

Business objectives

Reconstruct an accurate timeline of events
Determine how access was gained and what was done
Identify data that may have been accessed or taken
Preserve evidence for internal, legal or regulatory use

Why it matters

Decisions after an incident, from notification to disciplinary action, depend on facts. Forensic analysis turns raw artifacts into findings you can rely on and defend.

Common challenges we address

Need to know exactly what an attacker accessed
Internal investigations into suspected misuse
Evidence required for legal, HR or insurance processes
Conflicting accounts of what happened

Scope and key activities

Forensic acquisition of disks, memory and logs
Integrity verification (hashing) of evidence
Chain-of-custody documentation
Operating system artifact analysis (for example Windows, Linux and macOS)
Memory analysis
Cloud and email audit log analysis
Timeline reconstruction
Malware triage

Frequently asked questions

Can your findings be used in court?

We follow accepted evidence handling practices, including integrity verification and chain-of-custody records. Admissibility is determined by the relevant legal process, so involve your legal advisors early.

What should we do before you arrive?

Avoid using, rebooting or reinstalling affected systems where it is safe to wait, preserve logs and record what you observed and when.

Do you investigate cloud environments?

Yes. We analyze audit logs and configurations from the cloud and email platforms in scope.
