Digital Forensics

Investigate cybersecurity incidents with legally defensible digital forensics designed to identify attack timelines, contain incidents, and turn issues into evidence-based recovery.

Is this for you?

Do you need digital forensics?

A quick self-check. If several of these sound like you, it is worth a short conversation.

You likely need this if

  • You need to understand exactly what happened in an incident or breach
  • You must preserve evidence for legal, insurance or regulatory purposes
  • You suspect insider activity, fraud or data theft
  • You need an expert, defensible investigation rather than guesswork

Not sure where you land? A short scoping call will tell you plainly, including if you do not need this yet.

Service Overview

Understand your digital infrastructure

Digital forensics is the structured process of identifying, preserving, analyzing, and presenting digital evidence from compromised systems. For high-stakes EU organizations, it replaces guesswork with legally defensible answers about what happened, what was affected, and how to recover.

Every investigation is built to withstand regulatory scrutiny - preserving chain of custody and producing documentation that auditors, insurers, and courts accept.

Core Outcomes
Establish what happened

Reconstruct attack timelines and scope from evidence, not assumptions.

Preserve legally defensible evidence

Maintain chain of custody and integrity so findings hold up in audits, claims, and court.

Contain and recover

Validate containment and confirm systems are clean before operations resume.

Meet reporting deadlines

Produce the documentation DORA, NIS2, and GDPR reporting windows demand.

Process & Methodology

Investigation that closes incidents

Preserve & Acquire

Forensically capture disks, memory, logs, and cloud artifacts while preserving integrity.

Analyze & Reconstruct

Reconstruct the timeline, entry point, lateral movement, and business impact across systems.

Contain & Validate

Confirm containment was effective and that systems are clean before resuming operations.

Report & Attest

Deliver chain-of-custody documentation and reports for regulators, insurers, and courts.

Key results

Every engagement delivers a verified timeline, integrity-checked evidence, validated containment, and chain-of-custody documentation - the proof regulators, insurers, and courts require.

Real-World Scenarios

Real-world business scenarios

Ransomware with extortion threat

The Problem: Attackers claim data theft to force payment, but you cannot tell if exfiltration actually happened.

The Outcome: We determine whether data left the environment, so you negotiate and disclose from facts, not fear.

Suspected insider data theft

The Problem: A departing employee may have taken sensitive data, creating legal and HR exposure.

The Outcome: We preserve and analyze evidence to a reviewable standard that supports disciplinary or legal action.

Unexplained outage or intrusion

The Problem: Something is clearly wrong, but response is guesswork without evidence.

The Outcome: We reconstruct the incident from artifacts so containment and recovery are based on what actually occurred.

Industry Relevance

Industry & sector relevance

Financial Services & Fintech

The Problem: DORA's 4-hour major-incident classification leaves no room for speculation.

The Outcome: We deliver the evidence-based classification, scope, and documentation DORA Articles 6 and 19-20 require.

Healthcare & Pharmaceutical

The Problem: Breaches of patient and research data carry strict GDPR notification duties.

The Outcome: We determine whether a personal data breach actually occurred, driving correct 72-hour notification decisions.

Critical Infrastructure & Industrial

The Problem: Limited OT logging makes incidents hard to reconstruct without disrupting operations.

The Outcome: We use integrated IT/OT evidence to reconstruct incidents and support NIS2 root-cause and reporting duties.
