What is Digital Forensics?
Digital forensics involves identifying, collecting, and analysing digital evidence to uncover security incidents, trace attack sources, ensure regulatory compliance, and support legal proceedings.
It examines data from computers, networks, cloud environments, and mobile devices to detect unauthorized activity and assess the full impact of cyber threats.
Digital forensics helps businesses mitigate risks and protect critical information by uncovering vulnerabilities and strengthening cybersecurity.
Mint’s digital forensics experts conduct in-depth investigations to provide actionable insights, ensuring organisations can respond effectively, recover critical data, and prevent future incidents.
What is Incident Response?
Incident response is a structured approach to detecting, containing, and mitigating cybersecurity incidents to reduce disruption and restore normal operations.
It identifies threats, limits damage, and prevents recurrence through forensic analysis and targeted remediation.
A well-executed incident response strategy helps businesses recover faster, reduce financial and reputational impact, and reinforce long-term security.
Mint’s incident response specialists provide expert guidance to contain active threats, eliminate vulnerabilities, and restore systems efficiently—ensuring a coordinated recovery with minimal operational disruption.

An incident response plan is a documented strategy that guides organisations through detecting, responding to, and recovering from cybersecurity incidents. This critical framework outlines specific procedures, roles, and responsibilities that incident response teams must follow when security breaches occur.
The plan typically includes:
- Clear escalation paths and communication protocols
- Step-by-step response procedures for different types of incidents
- Defined roles and responsibilities for incident response teams
- Documentation requirements and evidence handling procedures
- Recovery and business continuity guidelines
An effective incident response plan helps organisations minimise damage, reduce recovery time, and maintain business operations during security incidents. Regular testing and updates ensure the plan remains relevant as threats evolve.
At Mint, our DFIR specialists help organisations develop and implement robust incident response plans tailored to their needs. With our Microsoft security expertise and proven methodology, we ensure your team is prepared to handle cyber incidents effectively.

Digital forensics is divided into different categories based on the type of data being examined and the source of digital evidence. The three primary types are:
- Computer Forensics – Focuses on investigating data stored on desktops, laptops, and external drives to uncover security breaches, fraud, or unauthorised access.
- Network Forensics – Involves monitoring and analysing network traffic to detect cyberattacks, data exfiltration, and unauthorised communications.
- Mobile Forensics – Examines data from smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices to retrieve messages, call logs, location data, and app activity for investigations.
Mint’s digital forensics experts provide in-depth analysis across all three domains, ensuring businesses can uncover threats, investigate incidents, and strengthen security. Contact us today to enhance your forensic capabilities.
