Digital Forensics and Intelligence-Driven Investigations

Digital forensic investigation is the defensible collection, preservation and analysis of evidence from devices, cloud accounts and networks. Cybrvault handles fraud, insider misconduct, data theft and litigation support — producing timelines and reports that hold up under legal scrutiny.

// when to call us

Signs you need investigation

The first hour of an investigation usually decides whether it succeeds. Powering a laptop back on, letting a departing employee keep their session alive, or clearing a mailbox can destroy the only evidence that mattered. We are the call you make before anyone touches anything.

  • An employee left and you suspect data walked out with them.
  • A wire transfer went to the wrong account and you need to trace it.
  • You need evidence preserved properly for a lawsuit or insurance claim.
  • Something happened on a company device and you need to know exactly what.

Investigation FAQs

What should I do first if I suspect data theft by an employee?

Do not power the device on or log into their accounts. Suspend the account rather than deleting it, preserve mailbox and cloud audit logs immediately (many expire in 30-90 days), document who has touched what, and call a forensic examiner before IT begins remediation. Well-intentioned cleanup destroys more evidence than attackers do.

Is digital forensic evidence admissible in court?

When it is collected properly, yes. Admissibility depends on documented chain of custody, hash-verified imaging, reproducible methodology and a qualified examiner. We collect to that standard on every case, including ones that never reach litigation.

How long does an investigation take?

A single-device examination is typically 5-10 business days. Multi-device corporate matters with cloud log analysis usually run 3-6 weeks. Emergency preservation can begin the day you call.
