Data Recovery and Forensic Analysis

Data Recovery: Extending the Window of Opportunity

When a company suffers a data breach, they have a short window of time to gather critical evidence to ensure an effective response. In too many cases, an organisation’s internal IT staff are forced to act as a first line of defense. Unfortunately, first responders who are not trained in data recovery and forensic analysis often do more harm than good, inadvertently damaging or mishandling critical data and evidence.

Kroll’s experts have unparalleled experience and training using the most up-to-date forensic software and protocols to collect and preserve data in the aftermath of a breach. We handle evidence using proven, forensically sound data recovery methods and processes that are supported by case law.

We tailor our forensic methods to match our clients’ technology – from servers to laptops and smartphones. Our experts also examine physical systems and work with relevant personnel to get real answers to client questions and determine scope and impact of a data breach.

The experts on our Cyber Risk team are Certified Information Privacy Professionals (CIPP) and highly trained in the most specialised data recovery tools and processes.
