Incident & Breach Forensics
When systems are compromised, we trace how attackers got in, what they touched, and what they took. You get a documented account of the breach and the specific gaps to close so it cannot happen the same way twice.
Digital forensic investigation recovers, preserves, and analyzes electronic evidence from computers, phones, and networks to establish exactly what happened during a breach, fraud, or dispute. You walk away with court-ready findings that identify the attacker, support your legal case, and close the gaps that let the incident occur.
How it works
We pinpoint every device and data source tied to the incident, workstations, laptops, phones, servers, and cloud accounts, then seize and isolate them so nothing can be altered before analysis begins.
Using validated forensic tools, we create an exact bit-for-bit copy (a forensic image) of each source and lock the originals away. Every examination runs against the copy, so the original evidence stays untouched and admissible.
We recover deleted, damaged, and encrypted files and reconstruct events, using reverse steganography to surface hidden data, file carving to rebuild fragments, and targeted keyword searches to isolate what matters.
We record every step, tool, and finding in a clear chain-of-custody report and build a timeline of the activity, embezzlement, data theft, or a network breach, so the sequence of events is easy to follow.
We deliver a plain-language report and, when needed, serve as expert witnesses, summarizing the evidence and our conclusions for a court, board, or internal committee responsible for the outcome.
What we investigate
When systems are compromised, we trace how attackers got in, what they touched, and what they took. You get a documented account of the breach and the specific gaps to close so it cannot happen the same way twice.
We collect and analyze electronic evidence to the standard courts expect, preserving chain of custody at every step. Your legal team gets organized, admissible findings and an examiner who can explain them clearly on the stand.
We recover deleted, damaged, and hidden files from drives, phones, and cloud accounts, then reconstruct the events behind them. You get a clear picture of what was created, changed, moved, or destroyed, and exactly when.
When the risk comes from inside, we examine devices and accounts to establish who did what and when. You receive defensible evidence of data theft, misuse, or fraud that holds up in HR, legal, and court proceedings.
Phones, tablets, and cloud platforms hold critical evidence that standard IT tools miss. We extract and analyze messages, location data, app activity, and account logs to build a complete, timeline-based view of the incident.
We translate complex technical findings into plain-language reports and credible courtroom testimony. You get conclusions a judge, jury, or board can actually follow, backed by documented methodology and an examiner who defends every step.
Why Hoplon
Evidence is only useful if it holds up under scrutiny, in court, and against the original facts.
Digital forensics matters most when the stakes are real: a breach you need to understand, litigation you need to win, or an insider you need to prove. We treat every case as if it will be challenged, because the good ones are. That discipline is the difference between an interesting finding and evidence that actually stands.
Sources we examine
Every examination runs against a verified forensic image. Your original devices and data are sealed and preserved, so integrity is never in question.
We log who handled what, when, and how from seizure to final report so the evidence remains admissible and defensible end to end.
Findings are written for decision-makers, not just engineers. A judge, board, or partner can follow exactly what happened without a translator.
No two investigations are the same, so we shape each collection around your legal objectives and the questions you actually need answered.

Common questions
Almost any electronic data: files, emails, chat logs, system and network logs, browser history, mobile data, and cloud activity. If it lives on a device or in an account, we can usually identify, preserve, and examine it.
Yes. We work only from forensic copies, document an unbroken chain of custody, and use validated tools and methods. Our reports are written for legal settings, and our examiners can testify as expert witnesses.
Often, yes. Deleted files frequently leave recoverable fragments, and we use file carving, reverse steganography, and decryption techniques to rebuild and read data that others assume is gone for good.
Immediately on engagement. The first priority is preserving and isolating evidence before it changes, so we move fast to image affected devices and lock down the originals while the trail is still intact.
Yes. We support law enforcement, litigation, corporate fraud, insider data theft, and breach investigations, identifying the source, securing the systems involved, and preventing further loss.
