Digital Forensics & Incident Response (DFIR)

Ransomware, business email compromise, insider data theft, payment fraud and state-aligned intrusions have made digital forensics and incident response (DFIR) a board-level capability — not just an IT response.

• UAE, KSA and Indian regulators (CBUAE, SAMA, NCA, RBI, CERT-In, SEBI) impose strict incident notification deadlines (often 4–72 hours), and law-enforcement engagement is increasingly expected.
• Forensically sound handling is the difference between a defensible response and a regulatory or legal failure.

Coverage includes ransomware response, business email compromise, insider data theft, payment and wire fraud, web and application compromise, cloud incident response (AWS, Azure, GCP, M365, Google Workspace), Active Directory compromise, mobile forensics (iOS, Android), eDiscovery support, malware reverse engineering, network forensics, log and SIEM analysis, evidence acquisition under chain-of-custody, expert witness reports and regulator and law-enforcement liaison.

DFIR practitioners certified in GCFA, GCFE, GCIH, GREM, GNFA, EnCE and CFCE, following ACPO, NIST SP 800-86 and ISO/IEC 27037 evidence-handling guidance.

• Retainers provide 1-hour response SLAs and pre-authorised investigators 24×7.
• Tooling includes EnCase, Axiom, FTK, Volatility, Velociraptor, KAPE, and cloud-native acquisition.
• Every engagement closes with a written report, lessons-learned and a remediation roadmap.

Containment in hours not days, court-admissible evidence preserved, regulator deadlines met, ransom decisions made on facts not panic, and a clear root-cause that drives durable remediation.

• For insured clients, MAST is panel-approved with multiple cyber insurers, accelerating coverage decisions during live incidents.
