Respond Faster. Investigate Thoroughly. Recover Securely.
Cyber incidents can happen at any time. A compromised account, ransomware attack, data breach, insider threat, or suspicious system activity can quickly disrupt operations and expose sensitive information.
MAST Consulting’s Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) services help organizations investigate cybersecurity incidents, understand what happened, contain the threat, preserve digital evidence, and recover securely.
Our approach combines incident response, digital forensic investigation, threat analysis, and recovery support to help organizations manage incidents from initial detection through closure.
Our DFIR Approach
Identify → Contain → Preserve → Investigate → Eradicate → Recover → Report
We focus not only on resolving the immediate incident but also on identifying the root cause and helping prevent similar incidents from happening again.
Digital evidence is handled using structured forensic procedures designed to maintain its integrity and support appropriate chain-of-custody requirements.
DFIR for Regulatory & Compliance Requirements
Cybersecurity incidents can also create regulatory, contractual, and privacy obligations.
MAST Consulting can support organizations in aligning incident investigation and response activities with applicable requirements, including:
ISO/IEC 27001, UAE Information Assurance requirements, UAE PDPL, GDPR, PCI DSS, sector-specific cybersecurity frameworks, and contractual security obligations.
Where personal data may be involved, forensic findings can also support the organization’s assessment of potential breach notification and regulatory reporting requirements.
Our DFIR Services
Incident Response
We support organizations throughout the cybersecurity incident lifecycle, including incident validation, triage, containment, eradication, recovery, and post-incident review.
Our team helps determine the severity and scope of the incident while supporting immediate actions to reduce further business impact.
Digital Forensic Investigation
We collect, preserve, and analyze digital evidence to understand how an incident occurred and what systems, accounts, or information may have been affected.
Investigations may cover:
- Endpoints and workstations
- Servers
- Email and user accounts
- Network activity and logs
- Cloud environments
- Applications and databases
- Storage devices and digital media
Ransomware & Malware Investigation
We help investigate ransomware and malware incidents to identify the initial attack vector, affected systems, malicious activity, persistence mechanisms, and potential data exposure.
Data Breach Investigation
When a suspected or confirmed data breach occurs, we help establish the facts needed for technical, management, legal, and regulatory decision-making.
Our investigation can help determine what happened, when it happened, what data may have been affected, and the potential impact of the incident.
Business Email Compromise (BEC)
We investigate compromised Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and other email environments to identify unauthorized access, suspicious login activity, malicious forwarding rules, phishing activity, and potential information exposure.
Insider Threat Investigation
We support investigations involving suspected misuse of organizational systems or information by employees, contractors, or other authorized users while maintaining appropriate evidence-handling practices.
