Digital Forensics

Host, network, malware, cloud and mobile forensics, plus fraud and insider investigation delivered as a court-defensible discipline. We assess forensic readiness against ISO/IEC 27037 and 27043, design acquisition and chain-of-custody capability across the estate, and run investigations that produce evidence packs admissible in regulatory and legal proceedings.

The Problem We Solve

Where investigations
lose credibility

Forensic readiness is low

Logging, evidence retention and acquisition capability are not engineered for investigation, weakening every subsequent response.

Chain-of-custody gaps

Ad-hoc tooling and undocumented handling expose investigations to legal challenge and reduce regulator credibility.

Fraud and insider loss

Investigations into fraud, insider threat and employee misconduct stall without a structured digital evidence approach.

Slow breach investigation

Breach root cause and scope take weeks to confirm, delaying notification, regulator updates and recovery decisions.

Our Approach

Secneural delivers digital forensics as a court-defensible discipline. Engagements begin by assessing forensic readiness against ISO/IEC 27037 and 27043, design acquisition and chain-of-custody capability across host, network, cloud and mobile, and run investigations that produce evidence packs admissible in regulatory and legal proceedings. Capability is then sustained through retainer style readiness and IR convergence.
