Digital Forensics
Has your organisation experienced a data breach or leak? Do you suspect that an employee or third party has copied sensitive information such as e.g. trade secrets? Regardless of the incident or its cause, you will receive the best assistance from our certified forensic specialists. We investigate the incident, collect digital evidence and perform analysis in accordance with established principles and standards for digital forensic services.
What do we mean by digital forensics services?
Digital forensics services involve securing, preserving, analysing and presenting digital evidence without affecting or destroying the original information. We can cover all types of devices, from computers and servers to mobile phones, cloud services and networks. We specialise in investigating and preserving employee misconduct, intellectual property and trade secret thefts and similar incidents. Digital forensics can also play a part in opposition proceedings that evolve around matters of prior art, publication dates and trademark use.
When do you need digital forensics?
The main purposes of conducting a digital forensics analysis are:
- Determine the cause and scope of an information security incident, e.g. data intrusion or information leakage
- Investigate whether a suspected incident has occurred or not
- Strengthen your position in legal proceedings through reliable digital evidence
How does investigating cyber security incidents systematically add value?
Digital forensics adds significant value for companies, authorities and organisations by providing clarity, control and security in situations where digital information may have been manipulated, lost or stolen. The main values provided by a digital forensic investigation are:
- Rapid clarity in the event of any incidents: A forensic investigation can answer questions such as what happened, when did it happen, how did it happen and who was involved.
- Legally valid evidence: Zacco works according to established forensic processes, which means that evidence can be used in legal proceedings.
- Reduced costs: A properly conducted forensic investigation can minimise downtime, reduce financial losses and brand damage.
- Preventive insights: A forensic investigation highlights the vulnerabilities exploited by an attacker during an incident, which helps organisations prevent future data breaches.
Zacco’s digital forensics specialists are part of our Digital Trust practice. The team works in accordance with the ISO 27037 and ISO 27042 guidelines when collecting, handling and analysing digital evidence.
