Digital Forensics & Incident Response (DFIR)

When a breach occurs, every minute counts. PIVOT’s DFIR team deploys within hours — preserving chain-of-custody evidence, reconstructing attacker timelines, and evicting threats before they pivot deeper.

Digital Forensics & Incident Response (DFIR)

Overview

What is DFIR?

Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) is the discipline that answers two questions under pressure: what happened, and how do we stop it? PIVOT combines deep forensic rigour — memory analysis, disk imaging, network capture — with rapid response operations so that evidence is preserved, the attacker is evicted, and your organisation understands the full scope of the intrusion before returning to normal operations.

Evidence-Grade Forensics

Every artefact is acquired and handled under chain-of-custody procedures, ensuring findings hold up for regulatory reporting, litigation, or law enforcement referral.

Rapid Threat Eviction

We contain and eradicate the threat in parallel with investigation — minimising dwell time and preventing the attacker from pivoting to additional systems.

Full Attack-Chain Reconstruction

Our analysts correlate memory, disk, log, and network artefacts to produce a complete timeline — initial access through lateral movement to exfiltration — so nothing is left unknown.

Capabilities

What we uncover.

Real vulnerabilities — mapped to your threat landscape, not a generic checklist.

01

Triage & Scoping

Immediate remote or on-site triage to determine the breach perimeter, identify compromised assets, and prioritise containment actions before evidence is overwritten.

Key Areas

  • Remote triage within hours of engagement
  • Compromised asset inventory
  • Initial attacker TTP identification
  • Containment priority matrix
02

Digital Forensics

Forensic-grade acquisition and analysis of memory dumps, disk images, log archives, and network captures to reconstruct the full attacker timeline.

Key Areas

  • Volatile memory acquisition & analysis
  • Disk imaging & filesystem forensics
  • Network traffic & PCAP analysis
  • Log correlation & timeline reconstruction
03

Malware Analysis

Static and dynamic analysis of attacker tooling and implants to understand capabilities, persistence mechanisms, and command-and-control infrastructure.

Key Areas

  • Static binary analysis
  • Sandbox-based dynamic analysis
  • C2 infrastructure identification
  • Indicator of Compromise (IoC) extraction
04

Containment & Eradication

Surgical removal of attacker footholds — persistence mechanisms, backdoors, and stolen credentials — while keeping business operations running wherever possible.

Key Areas

  • Network segmentation & host isolation
  • Backdoor and implant removal
  • Credential reset and access revocation
  • Hardening to prevent re-entry
05

Post-Incident Report & Lessons Learned

A detailed forensic report suitable for regulators, insurers, and the board — covering root cause, attacker timeline, business impact, and prioritised remediation roadmap.

Key Areas

  • Executive summary and technical deep-dive
  • Regulatory-ready evidence package
  • Root-cause and gap analysis
  • Prioritised remediation roadmap

How We Work

Our Methodology

A systematic, repeatable process — from first call to final remediation.

01

Consultation & Scoping

We collaborate closely with your team to understand your environment, define objectives, and tailor simulations to the threats most relevant to your business.

02

Threat Modeling & Risk Analysis

Our experts map attack surfaces and model realistic adversary behaviour, identifying the highest-impact risks before any testing begins.

03

Vulnerability Identification

Our red team operates like real attackers — probing your defenses, chaining exploits, and surfacing weaknesses you didn't know existed.

04

Reporting & Remediation

You receive a clear, prioritised report: executive summary for leadership, technical findings for engineers, and a remediation roadmap for both.

05

Post-Engagement Support

We stay engaged after delivery — answering questions, validating fixes, and helping your team build security muscle for the long term.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can PIVOT deploy a DFIR team?

We commit to initiating remote triage within 4 hours of engagement for emergency cases, and on-site deployment within 24 hours anywhere in India. For retainer clients, response times are reduced further.

Will the forensic investigation disrupt our operations?

We design our acquisition procedures to minimise operational impact. Live memory and disk imaging can often be performed on running systems, and we work with your IT team to schedule any downtime required.

Can your DFIR findings be used in legal proceedings?

Yes. All evidence is acquired and handled under strict chain-of-custody procedures. Our reports are structured to meet the evidentiary requirements of Indian courts, regulatory bodies (CERT-In, RBI, SEBI), and international standards.

Do you offer retainer-based DFIR services?

Yes. Our IR retainer gives you a pre-negotiated response SLA, pre-scoped tooling deployment, and quarterly readiness assessments — so when an incident occurs you are not starting from zero.
