Digital Forensics & Incident Response
When an incident hits, you need to know what happened, whether it is over, and how to get back to normal. We answer all three.
The problem
Security incidents disrupt operations, expose sensitive data and damage reputation. Many organisations struggle to identify what happened, how it happened, or whether the attackers still have access. Acting without that clarity means restoring systems that are still compromised, or destroying the evidence you will later need.
Where it appears
Ransomware on file servers and workstations, business email compromise and fraudulent payment requests, a web application defaced or abused, credentials found in a public leak, or an alert from a partner or regulator that your data is circulating. It often begins with a small anomaly that someone noticed and could not explain.
How CyBarq approaches it
Our DFIR specialists conduct deep investigations across endpoints, servers, logs and network traffic. We reconstruct the full attack timeline, identify the attacker's path and the systems and data they touched, and preserve evidence in a way that holds up to legal and regulatory scrutiny. After containing the threat we guide you step by step through recovery, and we tell you plainly what allowed the incident to happen.
How the engagement works
Incident response starts with a call. We agree on immediate containment steps you can take safely, then collect evidence before anything is rebuilt. Investigation and containment run in parallel, with a short written update at the end of every day. Recovery is planned with your team so that systems come back clean and in the right order. Organisations that want faster response can agree on a retainer in advance, with contacts, access and procedures already in place.
Deliverables
Everything you need to make decisions during the incident and to answer questions after it.
- Attack timeline, root cause and scope of affected systems and data
- Preserved evidence with a documented chain of custody
- Containment and recovery plan, then a final incident report with lessons learned
What it means for your business
You regain control quickly, with a clear picture of what happened and what it affected. You can report to clients, insurers and regulators with facts rather than guesses, and you come out of the incident with the specific changes that stop it from happening again.
