Evidence acquisition
Disk and memory acquisition, cloud artifact export, and log preservation follow documented procedures. Chain of custody is maintained so integrity is not later questioned.
01
Investigate
Reconstruct what happened
with evidence that holds.
Digital forensics answers who did what, when, and how — using preserved artifacts and a defensible chain of custody, not guesswork from volatile logs alone.
Evidence discipline
Facts before narrative.
After an intrusion, insider event, or disputed system change, organisations need more than a theory. CyberSafe forensics engagements start with preservation: imaging relevant hosts, collecting volatile data where still available, and securing logs before they rotate away. Analysis then builds a timeline of attacker or user activity tied to artifacts you can show a third party.
We write findings for the audience that will use them — technical teams closing gaps, executives deciding disclosure, counsel preparing for dispute, or insurers assessing a claim. Scope and legal context are agreed upfront so methods and reporting match the purpose of the investigation.

Capabilities
Forensic focus areas
Methodical collection and analysis across endpoints, identity, and cloud.
Timeline reconstruction
We correlate host artifacts, authentication records, network evidence, and application logs into a coherent sequence of events. Gaps and assumptions are stated explicitly.
02
Malware & artifact analysis
Suspicious binaries, scripts, and persistence mechanisms are examined to determine capability and impact. Indicators are packaged so monitoring and IR can hunt for related activity.
03
Reporting for decisions
Reports separate fact, inference, and recommendation. Where legal or insurance use is expected, language and exhibits are prepared with that destination in mind.
04
Process
Investigation process
Preserve first, analyse second, conclude with actionable clarity.
- 01
Brief & scope
Clarify objectives, systems of interest, legal constraints, and urgency.
- 02
Preserve
Acquire evidence and freeze relevant logs before further change.
- 03
Analyse
Extract artifacts, build timelines, and test hypotheses against evidence.
- 04
Correlate
Link host, identity, and network findings into a single narrative.
- 05
Report
Deliver findings, indicators, and recommendations matched to the audience.
At a glance
When forensics is required
Typical triggers
- Suspected breach where scope and dwell time are unknown
- Insider activity or policy violations requiring factual reconstruction
- Ransomware or malware events needing root-cause and indicator packages
- Disputed system changes or data handling incidents
- Insurer, counsel, or regulator requests for evidence-backed findings
What you receive
- Preserved evidence with documented chain of custody
- Attack or activity timeline with supporting artifacts
- Indicators of compromise for hunting and blocking
- Technical and executive reports suited to your audience
- Remediation insights tied to how the incident unfolded
Threat landscape
The surface does not sit still.
Cloud estates, identities, vendors, and employee devices shift every week. A once-a-year assessment is a snapshot. CyberSafe treats the attack surface as a live model — continuously scanned, ranked by business consequence, and tied to the work of closing what actually matters.
- Internet-facing services, identity paths, and cloud defaults mapped as one surface
- Automated probing tropes — phishing, credential stuffing, unpatched CVEs — ranked by impact
- A continuous scan model so new exposure is seen before it becomes an incident
