Digital Forensics and Incident Analysis
Digital Forensics and Incident Analysis
When a security incident occurs, speed and accuracy are paramount. Iron Fist Labs goes beyond simple cleanup; we conduct a meticulous, forensically sound investigation to determine the who, what, when, and how of a cyberattack. This critical process is the difference between a quick recovery and a lingering legal nightmare.
Whether you are dealing with a complex ransomware attack, a Business Email Compromise (BEC), or an internal employee dispute involving intellectual property theft, our team provides the objective facts. We ensure that digital evidence is preserved, analyzed, and presented in a way that stands up to scrutiny—whether in a boardroom, an insurance claim, or a court of law.
The Challenge
For organizations in the Great Lakes region, the period immediately following an incident is chaotic. You need answers, but well-meaning internal teams often accidentally destroy evidence by “rebooting” or “wiping” systems too quickly.
Our Approach
Forensically Sound Acquisition
We use industry-standard write-blocking tools to acquire a “snapshot” of compromised systems (endpoints, servers, mobile devices) without altering the original evidence. This preserves integrity for potential litigation.Forensically Sound Acquisition

Root Cause & Timeline Analysis
We reconstruct the attack timeline, analyzing memory dumps and operating system artifacts to identify “Patient Zero” and the specific exploit used.Root Cause & Timeline Analysis

Data Exfiltration Assessment
We determine exactly what files were accessed, viewed, or stolen. This is critical for determining if you legally need to notify customers or regulators.Data Exfiltration Assessment

Expert Reporting & Testimony
We translate binary data into plain English. Our reports are designed to be consumed by non-technical stakeholders, legal counsel, and insurance adjusters, providing the “Unvarnished Truth” of the event.Expert Reporting & Testimony
