Digital Forensics

When an incident occurs — a system intrusion, a data breach, internal fraud, misuse of a workstation, or a dispute involving digital material — the first few hours are decisive. Digital traces are volatile: a single mishandled step can alter them or render them inadmissible. At Spacicom, we operate with a rigorous methodology designed to establish the facts while preserving the evidentiary value of everything we collect.

Our engagement begins by securing the digital scene. We collect the relevant media and data — workstations, servers, mobile phones, removable media, system logs, backups, cloud environments — creating verified forensic images and documenting every step. The chain of custody is tracked from beginning to end, so the evidence can stand up in a disciplinary, contractual, or legal setting.

Analysis follows. Our experts reconstruct the sequence of events: the point of entry, the actions taken, the accounts used, the files accessed, copied, or deleted, the data exfiltrated, and any persistence left behind by the attacker. We examine system artifacts, activity logs, metadata, and network traces, and recover deleted material where possible. The goal is twofold: to understand what actually happened and to measure the full extent of the impact.

You receive a factual, clearly structured investigation report that keeps technical findings distinctly separate from interpretation. It is written to be understood by non-specialists — management, legal counsel, insurers, regulators — while retaining the technical depth needed to hold up under scrutiny.

Beyond the findings, we support you through the response: immediate containment measures, eradication of the compromise, system restoration, and remediation of the exploited weaknesses so the incident does not repeat. We also help you meet your regulatory obligations, particularly around incident and data breach notification, within the required deadlines.

Finally, we work through the lessons learned with your teams: what failed, what worked, and what should be put in place to be better prepared. We can also step in beforehand, to build your response capability before an incident ever occurs.
