Forensic Readiness Implementation
Prepare your infrastructure for post-breach forensic investigation: evidence preservation, chain of custody, log integrity, and forensic-grade incident documentation.
Implement forensic readiness: immutable evidence preservation (S3 Object Lock), chain of custody procedures, forensic imaging capability for VMs/containers, log integrity verification, and incident documentation templates. Enables both internal investigation and regulatory evidence submission. Fixed price €1,800–3,600.
📋Why this service exists
Article 5(2) accountability requires organizations to be able to demonstrate compliance. After a breach, regulators will examine your logs, actions, and documentation. Organizations that cannot produce forensic evidence of their response face disproportionate sanctions — not for the breach itself, but for inadequate documentation.

- Evidence preservation procedure (immutable S3 Object Lock)
- Chain of custody documentation template
- VM/container forensic imaging procedure
