+Secure | Digital Forensics & Incident Response

When a Breach Happens, Every Hour Counts

Incident Response — Digital Forensics — Cyber Crisis Advisory

A cyber incident is not just a technical problem. It is a business crisis that demands coordinated response across security, legal, communications, and executive leadership — simultaneously. AKATI Sekurity's DFIR service unifies incident response, forensic investigation, and crisis advisory into a single, seamless engagement so you never have to coordinate between three different vendors in the middle of a breach.

The Full Incident Lifecycle

One Team. Every Phase.

Most organisations piece together incident response from multiple vendors — one for containment, another for forensics, a law firm for legal exposure, a PR agency for communications. By the time everyone is coordinated, the breach has widened. With AKATI, you get a single command structure across the entire incident lifecycle.

Phase 01

Response & Investigation

Phase 03

After the Storm

Recovery & Resilience

IR Playbook Development

Custom incident response playbooks aligned to NIST SP 800-61, ISO 27035, and your regulatory requirements — BNM RMiT, PCI DSS, PDPA.

Tabletop Simulations & Cyber Drills

Scenario-based exercises that test your team's decision-making under pressure — from ransomware to data exfiltration to insider threats.

Threat Hunting & Compromise Assessment

Proactive sweeps of your environment to find threats already inside your network before they activate. Identify dormant access and persistence mechanisms.

Ransomware Negotiation Preparedness

Develop your decision framework, communication protocols, and strategic options in advance — not under duress during an active extortion event.

24/7/365 CIRT Activation

Priority callback within your SLA. Our Cyber Incident Response Team deploys remotely or on-site to take immediate control of the situation.

Containment & Threat Neutralisation

Identify the attack vector, isolate affected systems, terminate adversary access, and prevent lateral spread — while preserving forensic evidence.

Digital Forensic Investigation

Full root cause analysis with court-admissible evidence collection. Disk, network, cloud, mobile, email, and malware forensics — all under chain of custody.

Crisis Advisory & Stakeholder Management

Executive-level counsel on regulatory disclosure, media response, board communications, ransom negotiation, and legal exposure — running in parallel with technical response.

Data Recovery & System Restoration

Securely restore business operations from verified-clean backups. Validate system integrity before reconnecting to production networks.

Regulatory & Legal Reporting

Compliance-ready reports for BNM, PDPA, PCI DSS, GDPR, cyber insurers, and law enforcement — formatted to meet each authority's specific requirements.

Lessons Learned & Posture Hardening

Structured debrief identifying what failed, what worked, and what changes are required. Remediation roadmap with prioritised security investments.

Ongoing Monitoring Transition

Seamless handoff to AKATI's MSSP/SOC for continuous monitoring — ensuring the same threat actors cannot re-establish access through alternative vectors.

Forensic Precision

Court-Admissible Digital Forensics

Every piece of digital evidence we collect follows ISO 27037 chain-of-custody protocols and is admissible in Malaysian courts, regulatory proceedings, and international arbitration. Our forensic examiners reconstruct the full timeline of an incident — from initial compromise to data exfiltration — with evidence that withstands legal scrutiny.

Hard Disk & System Forensics

Recovery and analysis of deleted files, encrypted data, hidden partitions, file metadata, access logs, and timestamps to reconstruct complete user activity.

Network Forensics & Traffic Analysis

Detection of unauthorised access, data exfiltration paths, C2 communications, and lateral movement patterns through packet capture and flow analysis.

Cloud & SaaS Forensics

Investigation of corporate cloud environments, SaaS platforms, and identity provider logs to trace account compromise, policy violations, and data theft.

Mobile Device Forensics

Extraction and analysis from Android and iOS devices — including messaging apps, location data, call records, and application artefacts.

Malware Analysis & Reverse Engineering

Static and dynamic analysis of malicious code to determine attack origin, payload behaviour, persistence mechanisms, and adversary intent.

Email & Communication Forensics

Identification of phishing campaigns, business email compromise, fraudulent transactions, and insider communications for financial crime or corporate espionage cases.

Beyond Technical Response

Cyber Crisis Advisory

A cyberattack is more than a security breach — it is a full-scale business crisis. In the heat of an incident, your organisation must manage legal exposure, maintain public trust, respond to ransom demands, and ensure business continuity — all while controlling the narrative.

Regulatory & Legal Counsel

Navigate BNM RMiT disclosure requirements, PDPA breach notification timelines, PCI DSS obligations, and cross-border regulatory exposure. We ensure your response protects the business without violating compliance mandates.

Media & Public Communications

Crisis communication strategy, legally sound public messaging, media handling, and stakeholder coordination — managing board-level concerns, investor expectations, and customer trust simultaneously.

Ransom Negotiation Strategy

Assessment of legal, ethical, financial, and sanctions risks before making critical decisions. We help you develop a position that aligns with corporate policy, regulatory mandates, and your actual recovery options.

Expert Witness & Litigation Support

Our forensic examiners provide expert witness testimony in court proceedings, regulatory hearings, and arbitration. We deliver forensically sound evidence packages, technical affidavits, and independent analysis that withstands cross-examination.

Engagement Models

Choose Your DFIR Retainer

The best time to establish an incident response partnership is before you need one. A retainer eliminates the contract negotiation, legal review, and vendor onboarding that cost you critical hours during an active breach.

Establish Your DFIR Partnership Today

The first 72 hours of a breach determine everything — the depth of damage, the cost of recovery, and whether your organisation maintains the trust of its stakeholders. A retainer ensures those hours are spent responding, not negotiating contracts.
