Understanding DFIR
Digital Forensics & Incident Response combines two disciplines β forensic investigation to establish the full truth of a breach, and rapid response to stop ongoing damage. Together they answer the questions that matter most after an attack.
π
The systematic collection, preservation, and analysis of digital evidence to determine exactly what happened β who the attacker was, how they got in, what they accessed, what they stole, and how long they were present. Evidence is gathered using forensically sound methods that maintain legal admissibility for litigation, insurance claims, and regulatory submissions.
β
The coordinated, time-critical process of detecting, containing, eradicating, and recovering from a cyberattack. Every minute an attacker remains in your environment expands the blast radius. Incident Response is about stopping the bleeding fast β then restoring operations safely and securely.
β
DFIR combines both: respond immediately to stop the attack, then investigate forensically to understand it fully. Without forensics, incident response is a band-aid. Without incident response, forensics is too late. Together, they deliver containment, truth, recovery, and prevention.

DFIR Service Offerings
From emergency breach response to proactive forensic readiness β we cover every phase of the incident lifecycle.
24/7/365 emergency response for active cyberattacks β ransomware, data breaches, network intrusions, and business email compromise. Remote triage begins within 2 hours; on-site deployment within 24 hours. Our first priority is stopping the attack and protecting evidence
Comprehensive forensic examination of endpoints, servers, network infrastructure, cloud environments, and mobile devices. We establish who the attacker was, their entry point, dwell time, attack timeline, lateral movement path, and the full scope of data accessed or exfiltrated.
Proactively hunt for evidence of a breach that may already have occurred undetected. Our compromise assessment examines your entire environment for indicators of compromise (IOCs), attacker persistence mechanisms, data staging, and lateral movement β finding attackers before they find you.
Deep analysis of network traffic logs, firewall data, proxy logs, and packet captures to trace attacker movement, identify data exfiltration paths, map C2 communication channels, and reconstruct the full network-layer attack timeline.
Forensic investigation and incident response in AWS, Azure, and GCP environments β including cloud-native log analysis (CloudTrail, Azure Monitor, GCP Logging), identity and access abuse investigation, storage bucket exposure analysis, and cross-tenant lateral movement.
Forensic acquisition and analysis of mobile devices (iOS, Android), laptops, desktops, and workstations β recovering deleted files, browser history, application data, communication records, and location data for insider threat, fraud, and breach investigations.
Forensically sound digital investigations for internal misconduct β data theft, IP exfiltration, fraud, sabotage, and policy violations. Evidence is collected with strict chain of custody to support HR, legal proceedings, and potential law enforcement referral.
Investigate and contain Business Email Compromise attacks β email account forensics, attacker rule identification, financial transaction tracing, identity compromise scope, and coordinated response with financial institutions to recover fraudulent transfers.
Design, develop, and operationalise a comprehensive Incident Response Plan (IRP) β including scenario-specific playbooks for ransomware, BEC, data breach, insider threat, and DDoS β aligned to ISO 27035, NIST SP 800-61, and your regulatory obligations.
Proactively prepare your organisation for forensic investigation before an incident occurs β implementing log retention policies, evidence collection tooling, chain of custody procedures, and legal admissibility frameworks that dramatically reduce investigation time and cost when a breach happens.
For Whom
Our GRC services are built for organizations across industries facing regulatory scrutiny, customer audit requests, or internal security maturity requirements.
Analysis of hard drives, SSDs, and storage media β recovering deleted files, examining file metadata, reconstructing user activity timelines, and identifying data staging locations used by attackers.
Capturing and analysing volatile memory to extract running processes, injected shellcode, encryption keys, attacker credentials, network socket data, and malware artefacts that never touch the disk.
Reconstruction of attacker network activity from PCAP files, firewall logs, proxy logs, SIEM data, and NetFlow β tracing lateral movement, C2 channels, exfiltration volumes, and DNS tunnelling.
Forensic investigation of cloud environments using native audit logs β CloudTrail, Azure Activity Logs, GCP Audit β to trace attacker activity in multi-tenant, ephemeral, and serverless infrastructure.
Full forensic extraction from iOS and Android devices β recovering messages, call logs, application data, GPS history, deleted content, and app artefacts for insider threat and fraud investigations.
Response Lifecycle
Every Cyedux incident response follows the NIST SP 800-61 and ISO 27035 lifecycle β a structured, time-critical process from first call to full recovery and post-incident hardening.
Our consultants bring deep, hands-on expertise across every major security and privacy framework
Outcomes & Audience
Every DFIR engagement produces legally defensible, regulator-ready documentation β plus the intelligence needed to prevent the same attack from happening again.
1
Full attack narrative with evidence references β entry point, dwell time, lateral movement, data accessed, exfiltration scope, and attacker identity/attribution where possible
