Digital Forensics


4D5A Security supports Chain of Custody (CoD) processing of sensitive data under NDA in a timely and expert fashion.  4D5A Security supports all types of digital forensics including but not limited to the following:

  • Social media & email discovery and analysis, including those deleted or attempted to be hidden from other users.
  • Hunting for malware on a compromised system to identify malware context, vector of attack, additional IOCs, and how to mitigate and minimize future threats.
  • Analyzing mobile devices to identify illicit relationships, inappropriate media, or violations of appropriate use.
  • Data recovery in the event a drive crashes, rescuing important documents, photos, and other data on a failed drive or damaged device.
  • Investigative support for your team or legal support (expert witness) in a courtroom (advisory/litigation), using court approved Chain of Custody (CoD) processing of all such data.
  • Governance involving forensics, helping your IT and security staff, policy, and procedures to best leverage forensics during each stage of handling data during an investigation.
  • Forensics training can also be provided as part of on-site staff training to aid in skills and capabilities development coupled with managerial messaging and teaming in 4-8 hour training sessions.
