IT Forensics in Munich: facts instead of assumptions

After an incident, digital traces are fleeting. Those who continue to work on the affected systems risk changing the evidence, because logs overwrite themselves. Once that has happened, reliable statements are hardly possible anymore. That is why IT Forensics in Munich requires quick action in order to clarify the cause in good time and in a reliable way.

aramido works calmly and concentrates on the systems from which the cause can be derived. Using a proven approach, we secure the traces while they are intact. In Munich and the surrounding area, we reach you on site when needed, whether at your headquarters, in production or in the office.

An expert report that stands up before courts and insurers needs an unbroken chain of custody. That is exactly what our analysis is designed to deliver, so you can assert your claims.

Structured analysis after an incident in Munich

What is IT Forensics?

IT Forensics in Munich clarifies, after a security incident, what happened and how it came about. To do so, we follow the digital traces left on servers, in networks and in the cloud. This creates a reliable basis for the next steps: a report to the authorities, the compensation through your cyber insurance or the continuation of critical business processes. For companies from Munich and the region whose operations depend heavily on IT, this evidence is decisive.

Reliable means: the results must withstand scrutiny. That is why we document every acquisition and work with a chain of custody (Chain of Custody). Since all analysis steps remain traceable, the results are usable before courts, for insurers and for operational decisions. In Munich, aramido takes on this task as your partner for IT Forensics.

IT Forensics for the economic and scientific region of Munich

Munich combines globally active corporations with a dense research landscape. Around the automotive location with BMW and the insurance clusters with Münchener Rück and Allianz, companies have settled whose value lies in contracts, insurance data and development performance. In addition, there are research centres such as Garching with the TU and several Max Planck Institutes as well as the Martinsried biotech campus. Those who experience a cyber incident here carry a responsibility that goes beyond their own organisation: for customer data, patient data and confidential development documents. That is exactly why aramido is here in the region: we secure the affected traces before they are lost and clarify the cause.

In the Munich area, energy supply, mobility and clinics depend on reliable IT. Munich municipal utilities bundle their security systems for critical infrastructure, and an attack on the university hospitals has shown how quickly patient data can fall into the wrong hands. If a service fails, customers and companies notice it quickly. When operations resume, the question therefore arises which data was exfiltrated, altered or encrypted. That is precisely where aramido supports you with IT Forensics in Munich, preferably remotely and on site when needed. If you first need immediate help, you will find it on our page on IT emergency response and incident response in Munich.

Forensic disciplines for incidents in Munich and the region

Which procedures are used depends on the threat situation. Digital traces come from persistent data, volatile artifacts and complex network flows.

To cover all levels, we use specialized methods. In Munich, aramido looks exactly where the decisive clues lie.

Memory Forensics

Memory Forensics

We secure volatile data from working memory, reconstruct processes and thereby uncover active attacks.

Disk Forensics

Disk Forensics

Storage media and forensic images show which data and traces of use can be reconstructed.

Network Forensics

Network Forensics

By analyzing network traffic, we prove communication between compromised endpoints and data exfiltration.

Host Forensics

Host Forensics

System and file artifacts reveal which user activities took place and how the attack unfolded.

Malware Forensics

Malware Forensics

When examining malicious software, we recognize attack patterns and prevent reinfection.

Cloud Forensics

Cloud Forensics

In cloud environments, we clarify incidents of a tenant across multiple regions.

Frequently asked questions about IT Forensics in Munich

If the cause of a security incident is not clarified, it can occur again in the same or a similar form. It is therefore important to determine the cause. In addition, there are statutory reporting obligations to supervisory authorities, for example in the context of GDPR or NIS-2. Cyber-risk insurers also expect proper processing before they pay out. Damages from data breaches at German companies regularly add up to millions. Forensics provides the facts that clearly show the damage, the cause and the extent.
Data recovery restores lost files so that they can be used again. IT Forensics goes further: it delivers the evidentiary value and explains the cause of a particular situation. This includes, for example, patient zero, the point where a hacker group first intruded.
The chain of custody (Chain of Custody) documents completely where an item of evidence is located. It records who accessed the original media and when, and how copies were created. Only in this way does the securing of evidence remain admissible in court and the case traceable.
A backup records the state of the data, not the state of the system at the moment of the attack. Open network connections and the contents of working memory are not included. Moreover, attackers can nowadays encrypt or compromise the backup itself.
Often yes. If internal data access is suspected, we pursue the question which systems were used and which data was read, copied or forwarded and when. We obtain the necessary clues from system logs, access rights, file metadata and network communication. If necessary, we also reconstruct fragments of deleted files or chat histories. The report is factual and evidence-based, without speculation. It serves an internal review, an insurance claim or a report to the authorities.
In the Munich region, insurance groups such as Münchener Rück and Allianz process particularly protected contract and customer data. If economic espionage is suspected, we examine which systems were reached from outside and which data was exfiltrated. We secure the traces before they are lost and document the findings so that they are usable for a report or an insurance claim.
Usually not. In live forensics, we secure volatile data while the systems are running. In post-mortem forensics, we analyze forensic copies in a controlled environment.
Usually we assess the situation within the first few hours, in Munich on site if needed. How long the detailed analysis takes depends on the volume of data and the complexity of the case: it can take from a few days up to several weeks.
The costs depend on the incident, the number of affected systems and the required analysis effort. In an initial conversation we identify the essential requirements and provide you with a transparent cost estimate.
Yes. We secure evidence in accordance with ISO/IEC 27037 and maintain an unbroken chain of custody. Courts, public prosecutors, lawyers and insurers can use the expert report. This standard is especially relevant in Bavaria: the Central Office for Cybercrime at the Munich Public Prosecutor General and the Bavarian State Criminal Police Office evaluate digital traces in a way that is admissible in court. A report that is meant to withstand such scrutiny must be created cleanly and in a traceable manner from the outset.
In addition to the city of Munich, we support companies from the entire district of Munich and the surrounding area, including Garching, Unterschleißheim, Ismaning, Ottobrunn, Haar, Grünwald, Planegg, Neuried and Unterhaching. Depending on the case, remotely and on site when needed. For the neighbouring regions you will find our pages for Ulm, for Stuttgart and for Nuremberg.

Your contribution to IT Forensics

If your Munich company is affected by an incident, quick and correct action counts. Whether traces remain usable later is decided in the first few minutes. So involve us early and leave your systems untouched until they are secured.

Your knowledge of the systems and infrastructure complements our specialist expertise, so that we can carry out digital forensics together. In accordance with the order of volatility, we define what is secured and in which order. Using your access, forensic copies are created, which we then examine.
