Forensic investigation, active breach containment, and legal compliance support — end-to-end incident response.

FORENSIC INVESTIGATION

Digital Forensics Investigation

Deep-dive forensic analysis of compromised systems to recover evidence, reconstruct attack timelines, and determine the full scope and root cause of the breach. All evidence collected using forensically sound procedures preserving admissibility for legal and regulatory proceedings.

  • Disk and memory forensics using industry-standard write-blockers
  • Malware sample extraction, reverse engineering, and capability analysis
  • Network traffic forensics and log analysis for lateral movement reconstruction
  • Complete attack timeline reconstruction from initial access to detection
INCIDENT RESPONSE

Incident Response & Breach Containment

Expert-led incident response from initial triage through containment, attacker eviction, and full business recovery. Our responders take direct action — isolating compromised hosts, removing persistence mechanisms, and guiding your team through recovery with minimal operational disruption.

  • Emergency response with remote or onsite deployment
  • Host isolation and network segmentation for immediate containment
  • Attacker eviction, persistence mechanism removal, and credential resets
  • Recovery planning and post-incident hardening recommendations
LEGAL & COMPLIANCE

Legal Support & Regulatory Notification

Navigating the regulatory and legal aftermath of a breach. We provide the technical reporting, chain-of-custody documentation, and expert witness testimony needed for legal proceedings, cyber insurance claims, and mandatory regulatory notifications under DPDP, SEBI, RBI, and GDPR.

  • Expert witness testimony for legal proceedings
  • Regulatory notification technical support (DPDP, SEBI, RBI, GDPR)
  • Cyber insurance claim technical documentation
  • Court-admissible chain of custody evidence documentation
Why DFIR Matters

The Cost of Getting Incident Response Wrong

Most organizations' first instinct during a breach is to restore from backups immediately — before preserving forensic evidence. This destroys the evidence needed to understand the breach scope, determine regulatory notification obligations, and support insurance claims. It also risks re-compromise if the root cause isn't first identified and remediated.

A structured DFIR response preserves evidence, properly scopes the breach, and guides recovery in the right sequence — preventing the second breach that affects 30% of organizations who self-respond without expert guidance.

The average ransomware recovery cost is $1.85M for organizations that self-respond vs $0.73M for those with professional incident response — a 2.5x cost difference attributable to improper containment, re-compromise, and evidence destruction.
30% of organizations experience a second breach within 12 months of the first one — most caused by failure to identify and remediate the original access vector. Proper root cause analysis prevents this.
Regulatory breach notification timelines under DPDP (72 hours), SEBI (6 hours for stock exchanges), and RBI are missed by 60% of self-responding organizations — resulting in additional regulatory penalties on top of the breach cost.

2.5x Lower Recovery Cost

Professional DFIR reduces average ransomware recovery cost from $1.85M to $0.73M — proper containment and root cause analysis prevents re-compromise.

Regulatory Compliance

Expert handling of DPDP, SEBI, RBI, and GDPR notification obligations — timelines, technical documentation, and regulatory communication managed.

Court-Admissible Evidence

Forensically sound evidence collection maintains chain of custody for legal proceedings, insurance claims, and regulatory examinations.

Prevent Re-Compromise

Complete root cause analysis and remediation prevents the 30% second-breach rate affecting organizations that don't properly eradicate the attack vector.

DFIR Process

5-Phase Incident Response Methodology

From emergency triage and evidence preservation through containment, root cause analysis, and hardened recovery.

01

Emergency Triage & Scope Assessment

Initial emergency call to assess breach scope, active attacker presence, and immediate risk to business systems. Determining whether remote engagement is sufficient or onsite deployment is required. Scoping containment priorities before the formal investigation begins.

02

Evidence Preservation & Forensic Collection

Forensic acquisition of disk images, memory captures, and log archives using write-protected, chain-of-custody processes. Preserving all evidence in a forensically sound manner to maintain court admissibility and prevent evidence tampering claims.

03

Containment & Attacker Eviction

Implementing containment measures to stop active breaches — host isolation, network segmentation, credential resets, and EDR-based process termination. Removing all attacker persistence mechanisms, implants, and backdoors identified during forensic analysis.

04

Root Cause Analysis & Eradication

Full reconstruction of the attack path from initial access vector through privilege escalation, lateral movement, and impact. Identifying every compromised system, account, and data repository. Eradicating the threat across the entire estate before allowing recovery.

05

Recovery, Hardening & Post-Incident Report

Guiding business recovery in a prioritized sequence that minimizes re-compromise risk. Delivering a comprehensive post-incident report covering attack timeline, root cause, all findings, recommendations, and detection improvements to prevent recurrence.

DFIR Coverage

Every Incident Type Covered

Ransomware, data breach, insider threat, cloud incidents, supply chain compromise, and malware analysis.

Ransomware Response

Specialized ransomware response — attacker eviction, decryption key negotiation support, recovery sequencing, and post-incident hardening to eliminate the root cause access vector that enabled the attack.

Data Breach Investigation

Full investigation of data exfiltration incidents — identifying what data was accessed, how it was exfiltrated, who was affected, and what notifications are required under DPDP, GDPR, SEBI, or RBI regulations.

Insider Threat Forensics

Investigation of suspected insider threats — employee data theft, sabotage, IP exfiltration, and unauthorized access. Forensic evidence collection maintaining chain of custody for HR and legal proceedings.

Cloud Incident Response

Incident response for AWS, Azure, and GCP environments — cloud-native forensic collection from CloudTrail, audit logs, VPC flow logs, and S3 access logs to investigate cloud-specific attack vectors.

Supply Chain Compromise

Investigation of third-party and software supply chain compromises — identifying compromised software builds, malicious updates, and lateral movement from vendor environments into your infrastructure.

Malware Analysis

Reverse engineering of malware samples recovered during incident response — identifying capabilities, C2 infrastructure, persistence mechanisms, and threat actor attribution based on tooling and TTPs.
