Evidence and handling record
An inventory of collected materials, sources, and handling within scope.
Blue Teaming
Digital Forensics & Incident Analysis
Follow the evidence.
Understand the impact.
Understand what happened so you can make informed recovery decisions. We examine available digital evidence, establish a supported timeline, and explain findings and uncertainty.
IRON FIST LABS / 08Blue Teaming
01 / THE CHALLENGE
Unusual activity leaves unanswered questions.
Unusual activity leaves questions that logs alone cannot answer. Forensics brings available evidence together into a documented account of what happened.
02 / WHAT YOU RECEIVE
Expertise you can
put to work.
A clear handoff for the people making decisions and the people delivering the work.
Incident timeline and analysis
A reconstruction supported by available logs and artifacts, with limitations identified.
Executive and technical findings
Observed activity, affected systems, supported impact, and open questions.
Findings review and action plan
A guided handoff for recovery decisions, improvements, and further investigation.
Your proposal confirms the deliverables, scope, responsibilities, and schedule for your engagement.
03 / HOW WE WORK
A clear path.
From start to next steps.
Preserve available evidence
Agree collection priorities and document handling.
Reconstruct the timeline
Analyze available logs and system artifacts.
Assess supported impact
Identify what the evidence shows about systems and possible data access.
Explain the findings
Present conclusions, limitations, and recommended next steps.
A STRONG START
Bring the context.
We’ll shape the plan.
You do not need every answer before getting in touch. These details help us scope the work.
A useful starting point
A high-level timeline, available evidence sources, retention details, and investigation questions.
The right people
The incident or IT lead and relevant legal, insurance, or business stakeholders.
What shapes the engagement
Number of evidence sources, retention gaps, data volume, investigation depth, and reporting needs. We agree timing after reviewing these factors.

From observation
to next action.
A short example of how we make findings useful. The final format and depth depend on your agreed engagement.
Discuss your deliverablesILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE01 / BRIEF
Example evidence timeline
Fictional scenario. Not a client result or a completed assessment.
- Focus
- A sequence with a documented gap
- Observation
- An illustrative timeline connects two observed events while identifying a missing log interval.
- Recommended next step
- Separate confirmed observations from hypotheses and identify additional evidence that could resolve the gap.
CONTEXT → OWNERSHIP → ACTION
04 / BEFORE WE BEGIN
A little clarity.
A better start.
How is this different from incident response?
Forensics focuses on preserving and analyzing evidence. Incident response focuses on coordinating containment and recovery. They can work together.
What if logs are missing?
We assess available evidence and explain gaps. Conclusions are limited to what the evidence supports.
Can you coordinate with advisers?
We can agree coordination with your legal team, insurer, and other relevant stakeholders as part of the engagement.
