Cyber Crisis Management

When evidence matters.
We find it.

Cyber incident, internal investigation, fraud or legal dispute. Digital Forensics delivers objective, documented and legally admissible evidence from all digital sources.

What is Digital Forensics?

Digital Forensics is the systematic collection, preservation, analysis and reporting of digital evidence. The DEFION team masters the complete forensic chain: from evidence preservation to analysis and reporting. Chain-of-custody procedures ensure that evidence is legally admissible. Every step is documented: what data was preserved, how, when and by whom.

The Service

Evidence that holds up

The team masters the complete forensic chain: from evidence preservation to analysis and reporting. Chain-of-custody procedures ensure that evidence is legally admissible. Every step is documented: what data was preserved, how, when and by whom.

Analysis covers all digital sources: workstations, servers, mobile devices, cloud accounts, email, network traffic and more. The team reconstructs what happened based on digital traces: files, logs, metadata, deleted data and communications.

The report is clear and structured, usable for both technical teams and legal advisers and regulators.

Why it matters

Evidence mishandled is evidence lost

  • Digital evidence is fragile and easily contaminated

    Rebooting a system, running a scan or even accessing files can alter or destroy digital evidence. Without proper forensic acquisition, evidence may become inadmissible or simply lost.

  • Without chain-of-custody, courts reject evidence

    Legal proceedings require a documented chain of custody for digital evidence. Without it, even genuine evidence may be challenged or excluded. Professional forensic acquisition prevents this.

  • Insurers require forensic investigation for claims

    Cyber insurers typically require a forensic investigation report before processing claims. Without professional forensics, claim processing can be delayed or denied.

Methodology

Our forensic process

01

Evidence preservation

Forensic acquisition with chain-of-custody documentation. Disk imaging, memory captures and log extraction before any analysis.

02

Triage

Initial assessment of the evidence and determination of focus areas. What is most relevant to the investigation objectives?

03

Analysis

In-depth investigation of relevant digital sources. Files, logs, metadata, deleted data and communications.

04

Timeline reconstruction

Chronological overview of events. What happened, in what order, on which systems?

05

Reporting

Forensic report with findings, evidence and conclusions. Structured for both technical and legal audiences.

Fraud, data theft, policy violations. Digital forensics provides objective evidence independent of internal politics.

Legal teams needing digital evidence for proceedings

Courts require properly acquired and documented digital evidence. The team delivers forensically sound evidence with expert testimony support.

Insurers requiring forensic investigation for claims

DEFION delivers the forensic investigation report insurers require to process cyber claims efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

Is the evidence usable in legal proceedings?
Yes. All forensic activities follow chain-of-custody procedures. The report is structured as a legally admissible document. Expert testimony can be provided if needed.
Can you recover deleted files?
In many cases yes. Deleted files are often still present on the storage device until overwritten. The team uses specialised tools to recover deleted data. Success depends on the specific situation.
How quickly can you start?
For urgent cases, the same day. Forensic acquisition must occur as quickly as possible to prevent evidence destruction.
Can you forensically investigate cloud data?
Yes. Cloud forensics (O365, Google Workspace, AWS, Azure) is a standard part of the offering. Cloud data requires specific acquisition techniques that the team masters.
What if the suspect has already deleted files?
Deleting is not the same as destroying. The team can often recover deleted files, emails and other data. Digital actions always leave traces in logs, metadata and system files.

Need forensic investigation?

Time is critical. The sooner forensic acquisition begins, the more evidence can be preserved. Contact DEFION now.
