Service Overview

Digital Forensics & Incident Response

When a security incident occurs, time is critical. Cipher Knights provides rapid digital forensics and incident response (DFIR) services to investigate breaches, contain threats, preserve evidence, and restore normal operations.

Our Forensic Investigation Process

Our certified forensic investigators follow a rigorous, court-admissible methodology. We use industry-leading tools including EnCase, FTK, and X-Ways to conduct thorough examinations while maintaining chain of custody throughout the investigation.

What We Investigate

  • Data Breaches: Determine scope, identify compromised data, and trace attacker activity
  • Malware Infections: Analyse malware behaviour, persistence mechanisms, and impact
  • Insider Threats: Investigate suspicious employee activity and data exfiltration
  • Business Email Compromise: Trace fraudulent transactions and email account compromises
  • Ransomware Attacks: Identify infection vectors and support recovery efforts

Our findings are documented to evidentiary standards suitable for legal proceedings, regulatory reporting (ICO, FCA), and insurance claims. We provide expert witness testimony when required.
