You suspect a breach. Now what?
Independent forensic investigation to determine what happened, what was accessed, and what it means for your organization.
The Problem
The first 72 hours define the outcome
When a breach is suspected, every hour matters. Evidence degrades, logs rotate, and attackers cover tracks. Internal IT teams are often too close to the environment — and too stretched — to run an independent investigation that will hold up under legal or regulatory scrutiny.
Unclear scope — you don't know what was accessed or exfiltrated
Internal teams conflicted between remediation and investigation
Board and counsel need facts, not assumptions
Regulatory notification timelines are running
Evidence must be preserved before it disappears
The Solution

Trace Intel deploys an independent investigation team to establish facts, preserve evidence, and deliver decision-ready findings — whether for internal leadership, legal counsel, or regulatory bodies.
Forensic evidence acquisition and chain-of-custody documentation

Insider Data Exfiltration Investigation
Independent investigation of suspicious file movement before an employee departure escalated into legal exposure.
Problem
Leadership detected irregular access patterns involving shared repositories, messaging platforms, and personal storage indicators tied to a privileged employee near departure.
Outcome
Leadership and counsel moved forward with clarity on scope, timing, and evidence quality rather than relying on speculation or incomplete internal reporting.
