Incident Response & Digital Forensics
When a breach occurs, every minute counts. 24/7 SOC under NIST SP 800-61 and digital forensics with chain of custody for court — integrated on a single page.
Overview
Berghem's response program covers the entire incident cycle — from preparation with playbooks and tabletops, to containment in hours via 24/7 SOC, to forensic investigation that reconstructs the kill chain and produces a signed expert report for court. All under NIST SP 800-61 and ISO/IEC 27037.
Every action is logged, every decision is documented, and every artifact preserves chain of custody. We close with post-incident review, playbook updates, and indicators of compromise ready to feed your SIEM, EDR, and internal threat intel — closing the cycle in a way that reduces detection and containment time for the next event.
Everything included
Incident Response
Six phases executed by a 24/7 SOC — from preparation to post-incident. Every minute is logged, every decision is documented, and every action preserves chain of custody.
Preparation
Response plan, team training, and tabletop exercises to ensure readiness before the incident — scenario-specific and business-area playbooks.
Detection & Analysis
Rapid identification and classification via SIEM, EDR, and threat intel — multi-source correlation to separate noise from real compromise and prioritize response.
Containment
Host isolation, credential revocation, and blast radius limitation — all while preserving evidence for subsequent forensics and audit.
Eradication
Complete threat removal from the environment and closure of exploited attack vectors — focused hardening and integrity validation of compromised systems.
Recovery
Assisted restoration with enhanced monitoring to detect adversary return attempts — point-to-point validation before resuming normal operations.
Lessons Learned
Post-incident report, root cause analysis, and corrective actions — closing the cycle with playbook, control, and indicator updates that reduce the time of the next event.
Digital Forensics
Investigation that withstands cross-examination: forensic acquisition, timeline reconstruction, and expert report signed by judicial expert. Six capabilities with auditable chain of custody.
Disk & Memory
Write-blocked bit-by-bit images, volatile RAM capture, NTFS/EXT4 artifact analysis, and process dumps — the technical foundation of any serious forensic investigation.
Network Traffic
PCAP capture, NetFlow, session reconstruction, IOC extraction, and command-and-control server identification — recovering the complete history of adversarial communication.
Malware & Reverse Engineering
Static and dynamic analysis in sandbox, unpacking, deobfuscation, and TTP mapping against MITRE ATT&CK — deep understanding of what the adversary actually did in the environment.
Logs & Timeline
Log correlation from SIEM, EDR, IdP, and cloud to reconstruct the kill chain minute by minute — from initial access to exfiltration, with court-admissible evidence.
Chain of Custody
ISO/IEC 27037 procedures with SHA-256 hashing, digital seals, and auditable trail of every piece of evidence — from collection to court presentation.
Judicial Expert & Report
Signed expert report, technical court assistance, and specialized testimony — investigation that withstands cross-examination and supports legal accountability.
