Understand what happened
Digital Forensics & Incident Review
Examine available evidence, build a defensible timeline and identify practical containment and recovery priorities.
Quoted to scope. Deliverables, schedule and fees are agreed before work begins.
Who it is for
Organizations seeking scoped investigation support or a review of a past incident
What we can deliver
- An intake discussion covering the incident, available evidence and investigation scope.
- An agreed evidence collection and handling plan.
- Analysis of authorized logs, accounts, endpoints or other agreed sources.
- A findings timeline, stated limitations and recommended next actions.
The final scope, access requirements, schedule and included handoff are agreed for your engagement.
01 / Fit
When this is a useful next step
- You have suspicious activity or a past incident that needs a structured evidence review.
- Relevant logs, account records or systems are available and you can authorize access.
- You need a timeline that distinguishes established facts from gaps and hypotheses.
02 / Delivery
How the work unfolds
Clarify the incident question
Record what was observed, when it occurred, current business impact and any containment already performed. Agree on the investigation question and decision makers.
Plan evidence handling
Identify relevant sources, access permissions, retention limits and collection methods. Agree on preservation and handling before examining or changing evidence.
Analyze and correlate
Review the authorized sources and build a timeline. Track evidence references and confidence, noting missing logs or alternative explanations.
Report and recommend
Explain what the evidence supports, what cannot be established and practical containment, recovery or further-investigation priorities.
We agree on the scope, responsibilities, schedule and completion criteria before starting. These steps are adapted to that agreement.
03 / Handoff
What you can put to use
Investigation and evidence plan
Questions, authorized sources, collection responsibilities and handling expectations.
Evidence-linked timeline
Key events with source references, assumptions, confidence and known gaps.
Findings and next actions
A written review and debrief explaining conclusions, limitations and recommended priorities.
Your proposal identifies the included outputs, their format and the review or handoff session. Further implementation or support is agreed separately.
04 / Preparation
What we need from you
- Provide the observed symptoms, approximate dates and a contact authorized to coordinate the review.
- Identify available logs, retention periods and actions already taken.
- Arrange an agreed channel for evidence; do not email live credentials or sensitive evidence in an initial inquiry.
Scope boundaries
Availability, response timing and evidence sources are agreed at intake. This offering does not establish 24/7 emergency response coverage. Legal advice, law-enforcement reporting, testimony and specialist recovery work require appropriate separate arrangements. No finding is stronger than the available evidence.
05 / Illustrative scope
What an engagement could look like
This is a planning example, not a client result or a promise of outcomes.
Starting situation
A business wants to understand suspicious email-account activity.
Agreed work
Review authorized sign-in and mailbox records, correlate relevant events and identify where retention gaps limit the conclusion.
Useful handoff
A timeline, evidence references and prioritized next actions. This is an illustrative scenario, not a finding about any particular organization.
06 / Questions
Before you inquire
Can you determine exactly what happened?
That depends on the available evidence. The report separates supported conclusions from uncertainty and identifies what further information could change the assessment.
Will you change affected systems?
Collection, containment and recovery actions are agreed with the authorized owner. Reviewing evidence does not itself authorize production changes.
