IT Forensics in Ulm: facts instead of assumptions

After an incident, digital traces are present only briefly. Any further activity on a system can change the evidence, and ongoing logs overwrite themselves. Once that has happened, hardly any reliable statement remains possible. That is why companies from Ulm expect quick action in order to clarify the cause in good time and in a reliable way.

aramido proceeds quickly and turns specifically to the systems that explain the trigger. Using a proven approach, we secure the traces while they are still intact. When needed, we are quickly on site in Ulm and the surrounding area, whether in your data centre, production or office.

An expert report that stands up before courts and insurers needs an unbroken chain of custody. Our analysis is precisely designed for that, so you can assert your claims.

Structured analysis after an incident in Ulm

What is IT Forensics?

IT Forensics in Ulm 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 Ulm 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 Ulm, aramido takes on this task as your partner for IT Forensics.

    First we determine which data sources are relevant to the case and define the acquisition order in accordance with the order of volatility.
  • 2
    We create copies of the storage media without altering the originals and verify them with checksums.
  • 3
    We evaluate the secured data and put the traces into a chronological order. In this way we reconstruct the course of events.
  • 4
    Finally, a traceable expert report is produced, with an understandable summary for decision-makers, legal advisers and insurers.

IT Forensics for the research and economic region of Ulm

The Ulm region is a research location of weight. At Ulm University and the DLR, for example, the development of tap-proof quantum communication is running, and medical technology companies such as ulrich medical work with sensitive patient data. Those who experience a cyber incident here carry a responsibility that goes beyond their own organisation: for research data, quantum keys, 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 Ulm area, clinics, energy supply and industry depend on reliable IT. The university hospital and the SWU infrastructure are part of critical infrastructure; an attack on the university hospitals of Freiburg and Ulm recently resulted in tens of thousands of stolen patient records. If a service fails, patients and companies notice it quickly. After an incident, clarification counts alongside restoration: what was stolen, altered or encrypted? That is precisely where aramido supports you with IT Forensics in Ulm, preferably remotely and on site when needed.

Forensic disciplines for incidents in Ulm and the region

The threat situation determines which methods are used. Digital traces come from different sources, from persistent data via volatile artifacts to complex network flows.

To cover all levels, we use specialized procedures. In Ulm, aramido looks 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 Ulm

If the cause of a security incident remains unclear, it can occur again. It is therefore worthwhile 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 require proper processing in order to provide insurance benefits. Data breaches at German companies regularly cause damage in the millions. A documented forensics makes the damage, the cause and the extent comprehensible.
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 check which systems were used and which data was read, copied or forwarded and when. We evaluate system logs, access rights, file metadata and network communication, and if necessary we also reconstruct fragments of deleted files or chat histories. The report is factual and evidence-based, without speculation. You can use it for an internal review, an insurance claim or a report to the authorities.
In the Ulm region, valuable data lies in quantum research, medical technology and industry. 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 Ulm on site if desired. 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. The expert report is structured so that courts, public prosecutors, lawyers and insurers can use it. This standard is relevant for the region: since 2024, the cybercrime centre of Baden-Württemberg has been located at the Public Prosecutor General in Karlsruhe and handles the state’s prominent cybercrime cases. 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 Ulm, we support companies from the Alb-Donau district and from Neu-Ulm, including Blaubeuren, Ehingen, Laichingen, Langenau, Vöhringen, Illertissen and Senden. Depending on the case, remotely and on site when needed. For the neighbouring regions you will find our pages for Stuttgart and for Munich.
