Data breach within your organization can cause you to face major losses, as well as losing your credibility. TechForing always takes a detailed approach to every data breach scenario and perform a thorough investigation to resolve the matter as soon as possible.
Our data breach investigation consists of the following steps:
Detecting The Breach
Responding With Proper Actions
Gathering Evidence
Analyzing The Breach
Taking Necessary Measures
Notifying All Related Parties
Conducting Post-Event Activities
Every investigation begins by detecting the incident. First, we determine if a data breach has occurred, and we do it by looking for different signs of a data breach.
There are two types of signs for a data breach incident:
precursors and indicators. Precursors carry signs that an incident might occur later, while indicators show an incident that’s already happened, or is in progress.
Once we determine that a data breach has occurred, we record the date and time of detection immediately, along with collecting as much primary information about the event as possible. Once the breach has been identified and documented, we restrict access to breached data to prevent further leaks.
We then collect every piece of tangible evidence from the event. Data is collected from every tool, server, and network device available. The data includes:
After we’ve gathered every piece of evidence that we can, we start analyzing them to determine the entry point of the breach. We have a questionnaire prepared to help with the investigation.
After determining the cause and the perpetrator of the incident, we start taking measures to stop any further leaks. There are three main countermeasures to a data breach incident:
Once we’ve completely sustained the situation, we notify all affected parties and law enforcement, because we believe in operating with full compliance with the law. Timely notification of all breach events is crucial since it helps law enforcement agencies, as well as the organization to take proper steps based on the information provided in the reports. Here are the people who we inform right away:
After we finish all necessary activities during and after the post-data breach, we perform post-even activities that ensure that further data breaches don’t happen. The best way to do it is to perform an audit of the entire system. The audit includes:
