Digital Forensics
Evidence-grade forensic analysis for incidents, HR, and litigation
What this engagement covers
The service
Forensically sound collection and analysis of endpoints, servers, mobile devices, and cloud workloads - produced to a standard that holds up in litigation and regulatory proceedings.
What we test
Windows/macOS/Linux endpoints, mobile devices (iOS/Android), cloud instances, server images, and memory captures. Chain-of-custody documented throughout.
Scoping & Assessment Depth
Black Box Assessment
Zero-KnowledgeSimulates an external adversary targeting Digital Forensics with no internal credentials, source code, or architecture documentation. Assesses perimeter exposure, unauthenticated attack paths, and edge resilience.
Gray Box Assessment (Recommended)
CredentialedSimulates an authenticated user, tenant, or insider threat within Digital Forensics. We evaluate role segregation, authorization boundaries, privilege escalation, and business logic flaws across user tiers.
White Box / Source-Assisted
Full-KnowledgeConducted with direct access to architecture schematics, configuration files, and API/code documentation. Eliminates blind spots and provides exhaustive coverage of security mechanisms governing Digital Forensics.
Attack Surface & Vulnerability Vectors
Data theft prior to departure
Rigorous testing and validation to uncover Data theft prior to departure across your Digital Forensics environment. We produce deterministic proof-of-concept exploits to verify exploitability without risking service stability.
Unauthorized access patterns
Rigorous testing and validation to uncover Unauthorized access patterns across your Digital Forensics environment. We produce deterministic proof-of-concept exploits to verify exploitability without risking service stability.
Deleted file recovery
Rigorous testing and validation to uncover Deleted file recovery across your Digital Forensics environment. We produce deterministic proof-of-concept exploits to verify exploitability without risking service stability.
USB mass-storage evidence
Rigorous testing and validation to uncover USB mass-storage evidence across your Digital Forensics environment. We produce deterministic proof-of-concept exploits to verify exploitability without risking service stability.
Cloud sync exfiltration
Rigorous testing and validation to uncover Cloud sync exfiltration across your Digital Forensics environment. We produce deterministic proof-of-concept exploits to verify exploitability without risking service stability.
Anti-forensics activity
Rigorous testing and validation to uncover Anti-forensics activity across your Digital Forensics environment. We produce deterministic proof-of-concept exploits to verify exploitability without risking service stability.
How we run it
Established forensic protocols, industry-standard tooling (FTK, EnCase, Volatility, Axiom), and analyst examiners with law-enforcement and IR backgrounds. Reports produced in both executive and technical formats.
Evidence preservation and imaging
Rigorous technical execution, boundary verification, and manual exploitation testing targeting evidence preservation and imaging across your digital forensics deployment.
Chain-of-custody establishment
Rigorous technical execution, boundary verification, and manual exploitation testing targeting chain-of-custody establishment across your digital forensics deployment.
Artifact triage (filesystem, registry, memory)
Rigorous technical execution, boundary verification, and manual exploitation testing targeting artifact triage (filesystem, registry, memory) across your digital forensics deployment.
Timeline reconstruction
Rigorous technical execution, boundary verification, and manual exploitation testing targeting timeline reconstruction across your digital forensics deployment.
Report production
Rigorous technical execution, boundary verification, and manual exploitation testing targeting report production across your digital forensics deployment.
Testimony and expert witness support
Rigorous technical execution, boundary verification, and manual exploitation testing targeting testimony and expert witness support across your digital forensics deployment.
What you receive
Findings land in your tracker as you go, not only in a PDF at the end. Retest is in scope, not a change order.
- Chain-of-custody documentation
- Forensic image acquisition
- Timeline of relevant activity
- Artifact analysis report
- Affidavit-ready findings when required
- Expert witness availability
What we usually find
The issues this engagement surfaces most often. Yours will differ, but this is the shape of it.
Who this is for
Auditor-Ready Compliance Crosswalk
| Framework | Control Section | Testing Evidence & Report Deliverable |
|---|---|---|
| HIPAA Security Rule | 45 CFR § 164.308(a)(8) | Formal technical evaluation verifying the integrity of ePHI safeguards, network segmentation, and privileged access safeguards. |
| PCI DSS v4.0 | Requirement 11.4 & 11.4.3 | Adversary-driven external and internal penetration testing with application-layer validation and vulnerability remediation verification. |
| GDPR Article 32 | Art. 32(1)(d) | Documented evidence of regular testing, assessing, and evaluating the effectiveness of technical measures protecting personal data. |
| SOC 2 Type II | CC4.1, CC7.1, CC7.2 | Technical testing evidence validating system boundaries, access restrictions, and vulnerability identification controls. |
Findings are mapped to HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOX, GDPR, SOC 2, so the report drops into an audit package rather than needing to be translated first. If you need the readiness work behind one of those, that is a separate engagement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Direct answers on scoping, methodology, compliance validation, and deliverables.
Our Digital Forensics service combines deep manual testing with automated verification. We cover: Chain-of-custody documentation, Forensic image acquisition, Timeline of relevant activity, Artifact analysis report, Affidavit-ready findings when required. Every engagement includes reproducible proof-of-concept exploits, developer-ready remediation guidance, and a free retest.
Yes. Findings are directly mapped to HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOX, GDPR, SOC 2 control requirements. The resulting report is auditor-ready and formatted for immediate submission to SOC 2 CPAs, PCI QSAs, and enterprise vendor risk assessment teams.
Yes. Every Lorikeet Security engagement includes free retesting within 30 to 60 days to validate that your remediation patches successfully resolve the identified vulnerabilities before your final report is issued.
Typical active testing turnaround is 2-6 weeks per engagement, with critical findings reported immediately via your Talon portal so your engineering team can begin remediation without waiting for the final PDF.
Pricing starts from $15,000. We scope the engagement in one call based on your environment's surface area, user roles, and complexity, providing a transparent, fixed-price quote with no hidden change orders.
