Digital Forensics

The increasing digitalization of business processes and widespread use of IT technologies have significantly raised exposure to critical events, legal disputes, internal fraud, contract breaches, and cyber incidents. In this context, Digital Forensics emerges as a strategic discipline for the collection, analysis, and interpretation of digital evidence in a rigorous, traceable, and legally admissible manner.

Argo Cyber provides a structured digital forensics service, delivered by professionals with both technical and legal expertise, capable of operating in high-risk scenarios using internationally recognized methodologies.

Digital Forensics activities aim to:

Accurately reconstruct relevant cyber events (data breaches, unauthorized access, data tampering, etc.);
Support legal proceedings in criminal, civil, labor, or corporate contexts;
Provide evidentiary support for internal audits or disciplinary investigations;
Analyze incidents to improve response capabilities and strengthen security posture.

Key operational areas include:

Computer Forensics: Acquisition and analysis of data from PCs, servers, removable media, and NAS devices;
Mobile Forensics: Investigations on mobile devices (smartphones, tablets), including decoding of messages, images, history, and apps;
Network Forensics: Analysis of network traffic, logs, and communications to identify intrusions or violations;
Cloud Forensics: Investigations on cloud environments (SaaS, IaaS, PaaS), including access logs, permissions, and suspicious activity.

Methodological phases
The investigative process follows international standards and industry best practices, with full documentation of each step via chain of custody forms, recording unique IDs of original media and forensic copies, acquisition date, time, location, operator, witnesses, and any other traceability detail.

1. Identification and scope definition
In this preliminary phase, we define:

The scope of the analysis;
Devices and sources of evidence to examine (endpoints, removable media, cloud systems, network logs, email accounts, etc.);
Investigation objectives (e.g. unauthorized access, data theft, document tampering);
Interaction mode with the existing infrastructure (live vs. dead analysis).

The formal handover of devices/evidence to forensic analysts is documented, and the chain of custody is initiated.

2. Forensic preservation & acquisition
Digital evidence is acquired through certified forensic procedures, with strict attention to preserving the original data integrity.

3. Technical analysis & evidence correlation
Forensic copies are analyzed in a secure environment (clean lab) using certified tools. Activities include:

Extraction and reconstruction of access, execution, and modification timelines;
Identification of forensic artifacts (logs, temp files, deleted files, browser history, etc.);
Metadata and temporal correlation (timeline analysis);
Detection of indicators of compromise (IoCs), malware, data exfiltration, or anomalous behavior, in line with the investigation scope.

4. Forensic Reporting & Evidence Validation
At the conclusion of the analysis, a comprehensive forensic report is produced, including:

Methodological description of activities performed;
Technical details of collected evidence;
Analytical findings, correlations, timeline reconstructions, and final observations;
Appendices include screenshots, log excerpts, media hashes, and chain of custody documentation.

This service provides clear, documented evidence, enabling organizations to:

Defend themselves in legal and regulatory contexts;
Manage internal fraud or misconduct effectively;
Make informed decisions based on verifiable data;
Strengthen internal control systems and security governance.

Argo Cyber ensures strict methodological rigor, absolute confidentiality of all processed information, and full coordination with legal teams, regulatory bodies, and judicial authorities.
