Digital Forensics & Incident Response

Digital Forensics and Incident Response is what you invoke when prevention has failed and the clock is running. We contain the incident to stop the bleeding, investigate root cause with forensically sound methods, and drive recovery back to a trusted state. Our process follows established incident-handling frameworks (NIST 800-61 and SANS IR), moving through preparation, identification, containment, eradication, recovery, and lessons learned, so nothing critical is skipped under pressure.

Speed and rigor are not opposites here. Rapid containment isolates affected systems and severs attacker access, while disciplined evidence handling preserves the artifacts you will need later. We maintain chain of custody, capture volatile and disk evidence properly, and reconstruct the attacker's timeline and entry point. That matters because a rushed cleanup that destroys evidence leaves you unable to answer the questions insurers, regulators, litigators, and your board will ask, and blind to how the attacker got in.

Good DFIR looks like a defensible answer to what happened, how, what was accessed, and whether the attacker is truly gone. It means mapping observed activity to MITRE ATT&CK, confirming eradication before restoration, and recovering against defined RTO and RPO targets. Deliverables include a clear timeline, root-cause findings, and reporting written to withstand legal, regulatory, and board scrutiny, plus concrete hardening recommendations so the same door does not stay open.
