FINDIT® - Respond

Proactive Risk works with corporations, attorneys, private investigators and individuals to uncover digital evidence to support civil, criminal and business investigations. 

​The aim of a digital forensic investigation is to recover information from the seized forensic evidence during a cybercrime investigation. Our forensic IT investigators use a systematic process to analyze evidence that could be used to support or prosecute an intruder in the courts of law. Forensics investigation could include all or some of the following steps:

• Preparation: It is imperative for the digital forensics analyst to develop and follow stipulated procedures and guidelines for activities connected to computer forensic investigations.
• Identification: At this stage, primary information is identified regarding the cybersecurity incident before the digital evidence is collected. The digital forensic analyst attempts to answer the what, where, how, when, who, and how of the incident.
• Collection and preservation: Here, a search is conducted to acquire the relevant digital evidence and they are marked as an exhibit. The crime scene encompasses all the digital evidence, servers, systems, digital tools, and not just the physical location of the crime. The output for this is the type of crime, source of evidence, devices, media, and events.
• Examination and Analysis: The digital forensics investigation covers the examination, analysis, and interpretation of the data evidence. The investigator determines how the data is produced, extracts hidden data, matches the pattern, and transforms the data into a more manageable form and size for investigation.
• Presentation and Reporting: Presents all the information gathered from the analysis phase through a written or documented case report. Next, you’ll interpret all the statistical data from the analysis, demonstrate the legitimacy of the hypothesis, defend it against criticism and contests, and communicate the relevance of your findings to your audience.
• Disseminating the case: This is the final stage of the digital forensic investigation. It is your responsibility to make sure that both the digital and physical property is returned to the appropriate owners, review the investigation to detect the possible areas for improvement, disseminate the information from the investigation, preserve the knowledge acquired, and conclude the investigation.
