# 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.

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.

## Problems this solves
- 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.

## Deliverables
- **Forensic acquisition:** Write-blocked, hash-verified images of endpoints, phones and cloud accounts with documented chain of custody.
- **Timeline analysis:** Reconstructed sequence of file access, exfiltration, logins and account changes with supporting artifacts.
- **Findings report:** Plain-language conclusions, technical appendix and clear statements of what the evidence does and does not support.
- **Litigation support:** Declarations, deposition preparation and expert testimony where required.

## Process
01. **Preserve** — Stop the loss and lock down evidence before anything else.
02. **Acquire** — Forensically image devices and export cloud audit logs with integrity verification.
03. **Analyze** — Artifact and timeline reconstruction across endpoints, identity and network telemetry.
04. **Report** — Written findings and a briefing for counsel, leadership or your insurer.

## Who it's for
- Law firms and in-house counsel
- Employers facing insider theft or misconduct
- Businesses filing cyber insurance claims
- Individuals dealing with stalking, harassment or account takeover

## Pricing guidance
- **Single-device forensic exam:** $2,500 – $6,000 — Acquisition, analysis and written findings.
- **Corporate investigation:** $6,000 – $30,000+ — Multi-device, cloud, and interview support.
- **Emergency preservation:** Hourly, 24/7 — Same-day evidence lockdown.

## FAQ
### 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.
