Forensics and Security Shaped by the Sector You Work In

A courtroom, a utility control room and a data room each impose their own rules on how evidence is collected and how systems can be tested. Global Digital Forensics plans every engagement around those rules, so the findings are ready for the forum they end up in without putting operations, privilege or a closing date at risk. Choose your sector below, or describe the matter on a free first call.

Water treatment and electrical utility infrastructure, one of the operating environments our sector work is planned around.

Seven Sectors, Seven Different Evidence Problems

Each sector page names the problem that brings that sector to us, the questions an engagement has to answer and the services built to answer them.

  • 01

    Legal

    Law firms need evidence preserved, examined and explained by an expert who has testified in federal and state courts.

  • 02

    Utilities & Critical Infrastructure

    Utilities run control systems that cannot be taken offline to test, patch or examine.

  • 03

    Financial Services

    Financial institutions face insider activity, account takeover and disputed transactions that must be reconstructed from records.

  • 04

    Insurance

    Insurers and their panels need the factual basis behind a claimed cyber loss, its timeline and the controls that were represented.

  • 05

    Private Equity & M&A

    Deal teams inherit every unresolved intrusion and weak control in the target the day the transaction closes.

  • 06

    Government

    Public agencies need findings that stand in front of an inspector general, a court and the public record.

  • 07

    Healthcare

    Hospitals and practices hold ePHI on connected systems where an examination cannot interrupt patient care.

The initial consultation is free, and a senior specialist sets the scope with you on the first call.

Sector Rules Set the Plan Before Collection Starts

Every engagement plan is written for the place the findings will land, whether that is a court record, a control room or a data room.

  • Context

    We identify the forum, the operating limits, the decision makers and the obligations that shape the work before any technical collection begins.

  • Fieldwork

    Testing and collection are planned around safety, uptime, privilege, transaction timing and the people who control the relevant systems.

  • Decision

    Findings are written for the audience that has to act on them, with the full technical record behind each recommendation for anyone who wants to check it.

Describe the matter and its sector to a senior GDF examiner, and the first call will settle which constraints shape the first week of the work.

The First Work Product Each Sector Receives

Every sector engagement opens with one concrete record that frames the rest of the work, so the people paying for it can see progress in the first days.

Counsel receive a source inventory and acquisition record that anchors the preservation and examination plan. Banks and other financial institutions receive an identity and transaction chronology that separates proven activity from open attribution questions. Insurers, insureds and their attorneys receive a loss chronology and evidence register they can all work from.

Deal teams receive a decision memo that ties the evidence in the data room to the diligence questions and the follow up each one needs before signing. Agencies receive an authorized data and responsibility map agreed before any protected material changes hands. Utilities receive an operator approved coverage and access path record with the safety exclusions written in, and healthcare organizations receive a system owner and care dependency map with a minimized evidence plan.

Not sure which record comes first? Name the sector and the matter, and the free first call will tell you where to start.
