Disk, memory, cloud and mobile forensics using Velociraptor, KAPE, Volatility, Magnet AXIOM and EnCase, with Sentinel and Splunk for log analysis. Evidence is handled with documented chain of custody, so findings can support legal, insurance and regulatory processes. Analysts reconstruct attacker activity end to end and confirm persistence is removed.

Yes. Responders track notification deadlines from the moment an incident is declared, assemble the facts regulators require and produce clear, legally defensible reports. They work with your legal and communications teams, so external statements stay consistent with the evidence. Timelines are kept in a format regulators recognise.

Tabletop exercises for executives and technical teams, readiness assessments of logging, tooling and playbooks, and ransomware recovery planning. Many hold GCFA, GCFE or GCIH certification. Readiness work shortens real incidents because roles, evidence sources and decisions are agreed in advance.
