Forensics
Digital Forensics & Incident Response Services in Pakistan
Forensic acquisition and analysis to reconstruct and contain incidents.
What it is
Forensic investigation that stands up when it matters — to a regulator, an insurer, or a court. We acquire evidence defensibly, maintain chain of custody throughout, reconstruct what happened from the artefacts rather than assumption, and report in language a non-technical decision maker can rely on.
Types of Digital Forensics & IR we deliver
Host and endpoint forensics
Disk and memory analysis of compromised machines to establish what ran, when, and what it touched.
Network and log forensics
Reconstructing activity from firewall, proxy, authentication and application logs when the endpoint itself is gone.
Cloud forensics
Investigation inside AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, where the evidence is audit logs and API activity rather than a disk you can image.
Mobile device forensics
Acquisition and analysis of Android and iOS devices, frequently in insider and fraud matters.
Insider threat and employee investigation
Data theft, policy breaches and misuse, handled so the findings survive an HR process or a tribunal.
Expert reporting
Findings written to be read by a lawyer, a regulator or a court, with methodology and limitations stated explicitly.
How we do it
-
1
Evidence preservation
Forensic imaging with hash verification, and volatile memory captured before anything is powered down.
-
2
Chain of custody
Documented handling from acquisition onward, because evidence handled casually is evidence that can be challenged.
-
3
Timeline reconstruction
File system, registry, event log and application artefacts correlated into a single defensible sequence.
-
4
Artefact analysis
Execution evidence, persistence, deleted file recovery, browser and USB history as the case requires.
-
5
Attribution and scope
What was accessed, by whom, when, and whether data left the environment.
-
6
Reporting and testimony
Findings written for the audience that will act on them, with expert testimony available where proceedings follow.

What Digital Forensics & IR costs
Priced per device or data source examined.
The figure depends on scope, so we quote one fixed price in writing before any work begins. These are the things that move it:
- How many devices and sources — Each laptop, phone, server and cloud mailbox is imaged and examined separately. The count is the main driver.
- Volume of data per source — A 4 TB file server takes substantially longer to process than a 256 GB laptop, before any analysis begins.
- Whether chain of custody must hold up legally — Evidence intended for court or a formal tribunal needs documented handling at every step. That discipline is time, and it cannot be added afterwards.
- Encryption and device condition — Locked, encrypted or damaged devices may need specialist handling before anything can be read.
- Whether testimony or a formal report is required — An expert report written to withstand cross-examination is a separate deliverable from an internal findings note.
Preserve first, decide later. Powering a machine on, or letting it keep running, destroys evidence that no amount of budget recovers.
Where we deliver Digital Forensics & IR
Remote forensic acquisition and analysis covers the whole country, and our Multan base means physical evidence handling in southern Punjab does not wait for someone to fly in. Where evidence may end up in a Pakistani court or in front of a regulator, chain of custody is documented from the first acquisition.
Compliance relevance
Frequently asked questions
Preserve first and investigate second. Do not let anyone use the device, do not image it casually, and involve HR and legal before acquisition — how the evidence is obtained determines whether you can rely on it later.
Frequently, yes, and often the metadata proving deletion matters more than the content. Success depends on the file system, elapsed time and whether the device has been used since.
It is prepared to that standard — defensible acquisition, documented custody, and conclusions stated only to the confidence the evidence supports. We will not overstate a finding to help a case.
When the answer has to hold up to someone else. Incident response gets you operational again. Forensics establishes what happened to an evidential standard, which is what you need for a regulator, an insurer, a court or a disciplinary process.
Yes, and this is one of the most common engagements we are called for. Device acquisition, analysis of transfer activity to USB, cloud storage and personal email, and a report written so it survives an HR process. Involve us before anyone uses the device, because ordinary use destroys evidence.
Do not switch the machine off and do not let anyone keep using it. Isolate it from the network instead. Powering down loses memory evidence, and continued use overwrites exactly what matters. Preserve logs and tell us the earliest moment anything looked wrong.
We work to documented chain of custody from the first acquisition, use verified imaging with hashes recorded, and state methodology and limitations in the report. Whether evidence is ultimately admitted is for the court and your lawyers; our job is to make sure the handling is not the reason it is challenged.
Remote acquisition and triage can usually begin the same day. On-site acquisition in southern Punjab is typically next-day; elsewhere in Pakistan depends on travel. Retainer clients get a committed response time agreed in advance.
Sometimes, and honesty matters more than optimism here. Deleted files are often recoverable where the space has not been reused. A securely wiped drive or a factory-reset encrypted phone generally is not. We will tell you what is realistically recoverable before you spend money finding out.
Yes, routinely. Many investigations are run under legal direction, and cyber insurance policies often require specific notification steps and sometimes a panel provider. Tell us about both at the start, because doing so afterwards can affect your cover.
Priced per device or data source examined. Beyond that the figure depends on scope — mainly how many devices and sources, volume of data per source and whether chain of custody must hold up legally. We quote one fixed price in writing before any work begins, so the number does not move once the engagement starts. Preserve first, decide later. Powering a machine on, or letting it keep running, destroys evidence that no amount of budget recovers.
