When the Breach Happens, Both Operations and the Evidence Record Need Protection.

Post-incident forensic preservation, malware analysis, and breach investigation engagements that protect operational recovery without compromising the evidentiary record you'll need later.

Capabilities

What We Examine

Post-Breach Preservation

  • Forensic imaging of compromised endpoints, servers, and cloud workloads
  • Memory captures and live-system forensic snapshots
  • Log preservation across firewalls, EDR platforms, and cloud audit trails
  • Chain-of-custody documentation from first contact

Malware Analysis

  • Static and dynamic malware examination
  • Identification of infection vectors and attacker tooling
  • Indicator of Compromise (IOC) development
  • Attribution analysis where attacker artifacts permit

Insider Threat Investigations

  • Forensic examination of insider activity crossing from legitimate use into policy violation
  • Reconstruction of user activity, system usage, and data handling
  • Coordination with HR, legal, and outside counsel

Post-Incident Reporting

  • Findings reports for internal stakeholders, insurance carriers, regulators
  • Coordination with breach coach counsel where required
  • Preservation of the technical record for downstream civil or regulatory proceedings
Common Use Cases

When we're typically engaged.

The Tension Between Restoration and Preservation

Standard IR prioritizes operational restoration: wipe, rebuild, get the business running. That's often the right call — but it routinely destroys evidence that downstream litigation will turn on.

Insider Compromise

When the breach didn't come from outside, the forensic methodology has to address access patterns, authorization scope, and the boundary between legitimate and unauthorized activity.

Coordination with Counsel

We work alongside your retained IR firm and breach coach counsel to ensure critical forensic captures are taken before remediation begins.

Why It Matters

Methodology that has already been tested.

Our principal's background includes oversight of forensic investigations across enterprise endpoints, servers, mobile devices, and cloud-based data sources at organizations including FRONTEO, Inventus, and DiscoverReady. He has supervised the design of standardized forensic investigation workflows applied across thousands of matters — including matters where the underlying issue was insider misuse, unauthorized access, or post-breach forensic preservation.
