Digital
Forensics
Investigation and analysis of digital evidence to uncover and mitigate incidents. Data breach investigation, unauthorised access detection, malware analysis and expert testimony — handled in a legally sound manner.
Evidence That
Holds Up.
Digital Forensics at SCIAT AFRICA is a specialised branch of cybersecurity focused on investigating and analysing digital evidence to uncover and mitigate cyber threats and incidents. Our experienced forensic examiners use advanced tools and methodology to examine devices, networks and data — gathering evidence, understanding attack vectors, and supporting both incident response and legal proceedings in a legally sound manner.
- Incident response: identify the source and extent, and limit further damage
- Data breach investigation: what was taken, how, and what the impact is
- Unauthorised access detection across logs, traffic and system artefacts
- Malware analysis to understand behaviour, capability and impact
- Legal support: expert testimony and consultation in proceedings
- Chain of custody maintained throughout, so the evidence survives challenge
How an Engagement
Actually Runs
Four stages, from first conversation to verified fix. You get a named point of contact throughout, and nothing critical waits for the final report.
We start with a conversation, not a questionnaire. We establish what you are protecting, what you are worried about, and what success looks like — then put it in writing, under NDA if you prefer.
Our practitioners do the work: testing, auditing, monitoring or investigating as the engagement requires. You get a named point of contact throughout, and we flag anything critical the moment we find it rather than saving it for the report.
Findings are rated by real business risk, with reproducible evidence and remediation guidance your team can act on. We present it to both your engineers and your board, in the language each one needs.
We support the fix rather than handing over a list and leaving. When the work is done we retest, so you can prove closure to your auditors, your clients or your regulator.
