01 / DFIR

Digital Forensics & Incident Response

Containment within hours. Eviction within days. Forensic reconstruction admissible in any jurisdiction.

Engage on this 24/7 hotline
Overview

When the breach is live, every minute is a decision.

Versus DFIR is the team you call when an active incident has crossed the threshold from "alert" to "crisis." We mobilize within 15 minutes of hotline contact, deploy under signed engagement letter and outside counsel privilege, and have operators and forensic infrastructure on the wire within the hour.

Our methodology blends technical containment with operational discipline: we coordinate with your legal counsel, breach coach, cyber insurer, and regulators in parallel — producing the artifacts each stakeholder needs without your team duplicating work in the worst possible week.

Every action is documented under chain-of-custody from minute one. Every artifact is admissible. Every decision is defensible. That is the bar.

FAQ

Common questions.

If yours isn’t here, the hotline and engagement intake both reach a senior partner.

How fast can you actually be on the wire?

For retainer clients, 15 minutes to triage and 60 minutes to engagement letter. For first-time clients, the same — assuming counsel is available to sign. We have legal templates and operators on rotation 24/7/365.

Do you work under attorney-client privilege?

Yes — by default. We engage through your outside counsel so investigation findings are protected work product. If you do not have breach counsel, we can introduce you to firms we work with regularly.

What if we already have an incident response retainer with someone else?

We frequently work alongside other DFIR firms as the deeper-bench second responder, the malware reverse-engineering specialist, or the cross-border arm of an investigation. We also stand alone.

Will you talk to our cyber insurer?

Yes. We are on most major cyber-insurance panels and we know the carrier playbooks. We coordinate notification, scope approval, and final reporting directly with the carrier and breach coach.

What artifacts do we get at the end?

A privileged forensic investigation report, root-cause analysis, IOC and YARA package, detection content for your SIEM/EDR, and a hardening roadmap. If litigation follows, we deliver an expert report and stand behind it.
