Root Cause Investigation
A business should engage DFIR services as soon as a cyber breach or critical incident is suspected. Early engagement ensures digital evidence is preserved, prevents further damage to systems, and supports compliance with legal and regulatory obligations.
What does digital forensic evidence collection involve?Digital Forensics & Incident Response evidence collection involves capturing and preserving digital artefacts – such as system logs, emails, and file traces – while maintaining data integrity. This process supports breach investigations and provides reliable evidence for legal or regulatory use.
How does root cause analysis benefit a business after a cyber breach?Root cause analysis within DFIR services provides a clear timeline of events showing how and when systems were impacted. This clarity helps businesses understand the full scale of an incident, improve response plans, and make informed decisions about recovery and resilience.
Can DFIR findings be used in legal or regulatory investigations?Yes. Digital Forensics & Incident Response findings are preserved to meet strict legal and regulatory standards. Evidence collected through DFIR is defensible, maintaining its integrity and reliability for compliance reporting and potential litigation.
What industries benefit most from DFIR?Any business handling sensitive data or critical systems benefits, including finance, healthcare, retail, education, and critical infrastructure.
Does DFIR only respond to incidents, or can it help prevent them?While DFIR services are designed to investigate and respond to cyber incidents, the insights gained also strengthen prevention strategies. Lessons learned during investigations help organisations reduce risk, enhance resilience, and prepare for future threats.
If I already have Pen Testing, GRC, or 24/7 monitoring, why would I need DFIR?Each service plays a different role. Penetration Testing helps identify vulnerabilities before they’re exploited, GRC builds the right frameworks and policies to reduce risk, and Risk or Security Operations Centres provides live monitoring to detect threats quickly. When a breach does occur, DFIR investigates what happened, preserves evidence, and guides recovery. Together, these services create an end-to-end approach – prevention, detection, response, and resilience.
