What We Do

๐Ÿšจ

Incident Response

We contain the damage first, then investigate. Isolate affected systems, stop lateral movement, preserve evidence, and get you back online.

๐Ÿ”Ž

Digital Investigation

Full timeline reconstruction of who did what, how they got in, and what they took. Documented, provable facts for management, HR, or legal.

๐Ÿฆ 

Malware Analysis

Reverse-engineered in an isolated sandbox. We identify the family, extract indicators of compromise, and sweep your environment for other infections.

๐Ÿ’พ

Data Recovery

Deleted files, formatted drives, ransomware encryption. We image the original, work on a copy, and recover every byte we can.

๐Ÿ•ต๏ธ

Breach Investigation

We determine scope, identify what was taken, and produce a clear report with findings and timeline for management, legal, or insurers.

๐Ÿ‘ค

Employee Misconduct Investigation

Evidence gathered across workstations, email, cloud storage, USB history, and browser activity. Full timeline ready for disciplinary proceedings.

How We Handle Real Incidents

Sanitised timelines from real engagements. This is how we work when it matters most.

Employee stealing client data

Day 1Client reports suspicion: departing employee may have copied customer database.
Day 1Employee's workstation forensically imaged before they're informed.
Day 2USB device connection history recovered. Large file transfers to personal drive identified.
Day 2Email analysis: forwarded client lists and pricing to personal email over 3 months.
Day 3Cloud storage analysis: personal Google Drive syncing company folders since month 1.
Day 5Full evidence package compiled. Timeline, screenshots, file hashes, metadata.
Day 7Full investigation report delivered. Evidence package ready for disciplinary hearing.
OutcomeEvidence supported successful disciplinary action. Documentation handed to client's legal team for further proceedings.

How We Handle Evidence

Proper evidence handling means your findings are credible and defensible. Whether it's for a disciplinary hearing, an insurance claim, or handing to your legal team for further action.

IdentificationDocument what evidence exists and where it is. Every device, every account, every log source. Nothing gets overlooked.
PreservationDisk imaging so the original is never touched. Hash verification to prove nothing was altered. Original media stored securely.
CollectionEvidence collected methodically. Every action logged with timestamps. If your legal team needs to trace our process later, they can.
AnalysisWork only on copies. Never the original. Every finding documented with screenshots, file paths, and timestamps.
DocumentationFull log of who handled the evidence, when, and what they did. Clean enough to hand to HR, legal counsel, or insurers.
ReportingClear report in plain language with a technical appendix. Findings, timeline, recommendations. Ready for disciplinary proceedings, insurance claims, or handover to specialist legal forensics if needed.

AnalysisAutopsy, Sleuth Kit. File system analysis, deleted file recovery, timeline reconstruction, keyword search across drives.
MemoryVolatility, AVML, LiME. RAM capture and analysis for running processes, network connections, and in-memory artifacts.
NetworkWireshark, NetworkMiner, Zeek. Packet capture analysis, protocol reconstruction, data exfiltration detection.
MalwareREMnux, Ghidra, YARA rules, VirusTotal, Any.Run sandbox. Static and dynamic analysis in isolated environments.
ReportingStructured investigation reports with evidence documentation. Suitable for disciplinary hearings, insurance claims, and handover to legal teams.

How We Investigate

Chain of custody. Court-admissible process. Every time.

01

Contain

Isolate affected systems and stop the bleeding. Prevent further damage, data loss, or evidence destruction. This happens first, before anything else.

02

Preserve

Forensically image all relevant evidence with full chain of custody. Write-blockers, hash verification, sealed originals. Nothing gets contaminated or lost.

03

Investigate

Timeline reconstruction and root cause analysis on forensic copies. We trace every step: initial access, lateral movement, data access, exfiltration. Every finding backed by evidence.

04

Report

Findings documented clearly with evidence, timestamps, and methodology. Clear enough for executives and HR. Detailed enough for your technical team or legal counsel. If the matter needs to go further, our documentation supports that handover.

05

Remediate

Close the vulnerability that was exploited. Harden the environment. Implement detection for the specific attack pattern. The same entry point never works twice.

Works Better Together

These services make sure it doesn't happen again.

Something doesn't look right?

If you suspect a breach, data theft, or compromise, don't wait. Every hour matters. We handle all inquiries with complete discretion.
