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.

- 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
