Problems we solve

  • Incident response without proper evidence handling jeopardizes legal and insurance outcomes
  • Ad-hoc disk copies break chain of custody and may be inadmissible
  • Internal teams lack tooling and process for forensically sound collection at scale

Forensics aligned to incident response

Digital forensics is not a standalone product—it supports containment, investigation, and recovery. We coordinate with incident response so evidence collection does not destroy the very artifacts you need to understand scope and root cause.

Collection procedures are documented so insurers, counsel, and regulators see professional handling—not improvised IT copies.

What we collect and protect

Endpoint and server images, cloud tenant logs, email and identity artifacts, and network captures where appropriate. Storage is access-controlled with retention aligned to your policy and legal hold requirements.

Washington and Snohomish County delivery

We support onsite collection across the Puget Sound when hardware access is required, with remote collection for cloud and SaaS estates. Escalation paths are established before an incident—not during one.
