Information Security Incidents where businesses lose customers or financial data are bad news, but how things are handled makes a big difference. Efficiently managing an incident can minimise financial losses to the business and help prevent damage to its image. Industry-leading computer forensic investigators to help you solve security challenges and recover from data breaches.
Australia’s Mandatory Data Breach Notification Legislation, starting from February 2018, mandates most organisations with a turnover of more than $3 million to notify of eligible data breaches.
Elvidence’s incident response services help companies reduce the impact of an attack and quickly restore their operations to normal. However, all incidents are different, so it’s vital to have an experienced team of computer forensic investigators that can bring a flexible approach.
Most attacks are assumed to come from outside, with hackers or fraudsters attempting to steal financial information or intellectual property. Nonetheless, many threats originate from insiders, “thanks” to staff or contractors who misuse authorised access to systems or are careless.
Effective incident response involves making a quick and accurate assessment of the situation. It covers how the problem was detected, what information may have been compromised, and steps taken to plug the leak. Of course, this process must align with the client’s objectives, whether to pinpoint the data lost, track down the attacker, or develop a recovery strategy.
It’s imperative to handle digital evidence in a forensically sound way. This evidence is instrumental in any possible legal action that may arise. Therefore, proper management of digital investigation is also crucial to success.
Computer forensic investigators often work with legal professionals in civil and criminal cases. Their work involves a careful gathering of digital evidence, which is then examined at a forensic laboratory. Regularly, digital evidence collected by a computer forensic investigator is the only convincing evidence presented at trial.
We provide detailed and accurate computer forensic investigation reports. They include recommendations to senior management and technical staff to help them make optimal decisions. In addition, the reports can be used in any legal proceeding, sent to insurers or industry regulators.
Alongside the investigation, it’s essential to prevent similar future attacks. So, the measures must consider the scope, available budget and the potential attackers’ motives and tactics.
Elvidence can help put together an incident response plan and provide training for organisations of any size.
Having a plan in place will reinforce the ability of the business to respond to future attacks. Whether it’s a virus infection, a DDoS attack or a data leak by an insider, a good incident plan will offer the ability to respond quickly and minimise negative consequences.
