Digital Forensics and Electronic Discovery

Part of the stern reality of information assurance is that despite the most careful efforts of the CIO, CISO, and their team in the architecture, design, build and operation of security controls in their IT infrastructure and applications, breaches can occur.

In fact, it’s a guarantee that at some point, despite your best efforts, you will be breached.

The reason for this is the changing threat landscape:

• - Employees commit acts of malfeasance
• - New malware and exploits are developed
• - As the organisation’s profile increases, “bad actors” pay more and more unwanted attention

At that point, a well executed incident response plan can literally save the organisation. At the very least, it will result in improved crisis management, reduced reputation damage, and lower the financial hurt experienced.

A key part of an incident response plan is having a source of expertise that is available to perform rapid, discreet, and effective investigations. Lacunae Risk has great expertise in this area and have a track record of establishing the truth, and where necessary, presenting solid evidence to the court.

We use our expertise in malware analysis, investigative interviewing, and Security Incident and Event Reporting to establish the facts, establish the Event Timeline and present a report which allows solid business and legal decisions to be made from a position of certainty. In addition we can direct the recovery plan and restore “business-as-usual” to our customers.
