Incident response & digital forensics
Contain the breach. Preserve the evidence. Know what happened.

Evidence Preservation
Readiness Assessment
Rapid containment and evidence-grade digital forensics for ransomware, data breaches and unauthorized access — for organizations facing an active incident, and those building readiness before they need it.
The first hours matter
Support for organizations facing an incident — and those getting ready before one.
Incident response contains an active attack and guides recovery. Digital forensics is the technical investigation that follows, establishing exactly what happened.
Contain first, spread stops
Stopping the threat from spreading further across your environment.
Investigate what happened
Establishing the entry point and scope of impact with evidence-grade rigor.
Preserve evidence correctly
Policies, controls and advisory that continue past the assessment.
Guide recovery decisions
Including whether backups can be safely used for recovery.
Built for scrutiny
Reports suitable for leadership, cyber insurers, or regulators.
The short version
What Is Incident Response?
When a security incident happens — ransomware encrypting files, unauthorized access to a system, or signs of data exfiltration — the first hours matter. Incident response is the structured process of containing the threat, investigating what happened and how, and guiding recovery decisions, all while preserving evidence in case legal, insurance or regulatory follow-up is needed later.
Three layers work together, from first response through to a defensible record of events:
Incident Response
The broader process of containing an active threat and guiding recovery.
Digital Forensics
The deeper technical investigation — reconstructing attacker actions and entry point.
Evidence Handling
Rigor that holds up if legal, insurance or regulatory scrutiny follows.
What we offer
Support whether you’re mid-incident or getting ready for one.
From active breach containment to the readiness work that makes the next incident less costly.
The first hour matters most
The instinct to shut it down is exactly what destroys the evidence.
Powering down affected systems or deleting suspicious files feels like the right call — but it can permanently destroy the evidence needed to understand what actually happened.
The first-hour mistakes
Well-intentioned, and costly.
Powering down affected systems, destroying volatile forensic evidence.
Deleting suspicious files before they can be properly analyzed.
Losing the ability to reconstruct exactly what happened and how.
Complicating insurance or regulatory follow-up later.
Evidence handled the right way
Preserved from the first hour.
Evidence-handling practices that preserve the ability to reconstruct events accurately.
Rigor that holds up whether it’s purely internal, or needs to support legal or regulatory process.
Forensic evidence captured correctly before systems are touched.
An investigation that supports remediation and, if needed, external scrutiny.
How it runs
From first response to a closed, hardened environment.
A structured sequence that contains the threat first, then investigates and hardens without losing evidence along the way.
