INCIDENT RESPONSE & DIGITAL FORENSICS

When an incident happens,clarity matters.

Investigate suspected security incidents, understand their scope, preserve relevant digital evidence and support structured containment, recovery and security improvement.

05

Compromise Assessment

Proactive investigation to discover active or dormant adversary activity.

06

Data Breach Investigation

Evidence-based assessment of unauthorized access and potential data exfiltration scope.

07

Forensic Readiness

Pre-incident logging, retention, and policy alignment to ensure investigation capability.

EVIDENTIARY INTEGRITY

Documented Chain of Custody & Evidence Handling

Where evidence handling is part of an investigation scope, IndustroVenture adheres to strict procedures for digital artifact identification, cryptographic hashing (SHA-256), documented transfer of custody, and secure isolated storage.

INVESTIGATION METHODOLOGY

Seven-Step Incident Lifecycle

A methodical process designed to establish facts, isolate threats, and support recovery.

Phase 01Step 1

AUTHORIZE

Confirm scope, authority and investigation boundaries.

Phase 02Step 2

PRESERVE

Protect relevant evidence and maintain documented handling.

Phase 03Step 3

INVESTIGATE

Analyze available endpoints, logs, accounts and relevant artifacts.

Phase 04Step 4

TIMELINE

Establish what occurred and when.

Phase 05Step 5

ASSESS

Determine affected systems and available evidence of impact.

Phase 06Step 6

REPORT

Document findings clearly.

Phase 07Step 7

STRENGTHEN

Use lessons learned to improve controls and readiness.

INVESTIGATION VALUE

From incident signal to decision-ready evidence.

A structured investigation turns fragmented security events into verified facts, clear scope and actionable recovery decisions.

INVESTIGATION SCOPE

Incident signals we investigate

01

ACCOUNT & IDENTITY COMPROMISE

Suspicious credential use, privilege escalation, and unauthorized access attempts.

02

BUSINESS EMAIL COMPROMISE

Mailbox compromise, executive impersonation, and malicious forwarding rules.

03

ENDPOINT & MALWARE ACTIVITY

Host compromise, unauthorized execution trails, and persistence mechanisms.

04

DATA EXPOSURE & ADVERSARY ACTIVITY

Suspected breach, exfiltration indicators, and active threat actor presence.
