Digital Forensics & Incident Investigation

What our digital forensics services cover

Our forensic investigations begin with evidence preservation using industry-standard write blockers and imaging tools (FTK Imager, dd, Magnet AXIOM) to create forensically sound copies of disks, memory, and logs. We reconstruct attacker activity using disk artefacts (MFT, USN journal, registry hives, prefetch), memory captures (process injection, credential extraction artefacts), and network captures (PCAP analysis, DNS logs, NetFlow).

Investigations conclude with a forensic report documenting the timeline of events, attacker TTPs, data accessed or exfiltrated, and root cause. Reports are structured to support CERT-In mandatory breach notifications, RBI/SEBI regulatory disclosures, insurance claims, and civil or criminal legal proceedings. We also offer expert witness services for cases before Indian tribunals and courts.

• Disk & file system forensics — Forensic imaging and analysis of Windows, Linux, and macOS systems — deleted file recovery, artefact timeline reconstruction.
• Memory forensics — Live memory capture and analysis to identify fileless malware, injected code, and credential theft artefacts.
• Network forensics — PCAP analysis, NetFlow correlation, and DNS log investigation to reconstruct attacker network activity.
• Cloud forensics — AWS CloudTrail, Azure Activity Log, and GCP audit log analysis for cloud-hosted incidents.
• Mobile device forensics — iOS and Android forensic acquisition and analysis for corporate device investigations.
• Expert witness reporting — Court-admissible forensic reports and expert witness testimony for Indian legal proceedings.

Frequently asked questions

What is digital forensics?

Digital forensics is the process of collecting, preserving, and analysing digital evidence from computers, servers, mobile devices, networks, and cloud systems to reconstruct what happened during a security incident. It establishes a factual record of attacker activity that can support incident response decisions, regulatory notifications, insurance claims, and legal proceedings.

How quickly can eNeoteric deploy a forensics team?

We maintain on-call forensic responders in Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi NCR, and Chennai who can deploy on-site within 2–4 hours for emergency incidents. Remote forensic acquisition (via EDR tools or secure remote access) can begin within 30 minutes of engagement authorisation.

Will forensic investigation disrupt our business operations?

Our forensic methodology prioritises business continuity. We work with your IT team to create forensic images of affected systems rather than seizing hardware wherever possible. Live forensic techniques allow investigation of running systems without taking them offline. We schedule intensive analysis work during off-peak hours when systems cannot be taken offline.

Can forensic evidence be used in Indian courts?

Yes. eNeoteric's forensic procedures follow the guidelines under the Information Technology Act 2000, the Indian Evidence Act, and CERT-In's incident handling guidelines. Our chain-of-custody documentation and expert witness reports are structured to meet Indian judicial standards. We have supported cases before cyber crime cells, High Courts, and regulatory tribunals.
