CayosoftIdentity Forensics & Incident Response Service
Rapid Detection. Deep Forensics. Confident Recovery.
Always-On Program
Identity systems like Active Directory and Entra ID are the control plane of modern enterprises—and the first-place attackers seek persistence. Its often an underrepresented aspect of traditional IR service offerings that focus on endpoints or backups.
Cayosoft Identity Forensics & Incident Response is a purpose-built, always-on program that combines the award-winning Cayosoft Guardian Platform with expert-led incident response to detect identity compromise faster, reconstruct attacks with certainty, and restore trust across hybrid identity environments—before, during, and after an incident.
Why Identity-Focused IR Matters
Traditional incident response tools are built for endpoints, networks, and cloud workloads—not identity systems. As a result, organizations struggle to:
- Prove the scope of identity compromise
- Identify patient zero and privilege escalation paths
- Confidently reverse malicious changes without reintroducing risk
Cayosoft delivers identity-native forensics, immutable audit evidence, and authoritative recovery—powered by the Cayosoft Guardian Platform and guided by identity IR specialists.
How the Service Works
Cayosoft Identity Forensics & Incident Response is delivered as an ongoing program—not a one time engagement—designed to continuously strengthen identity posture and ensure recovery readiness before, during, and after an incident.
- Establish the Identity Baseline
We establish a clear baseline of identity security posture across Active Directory and Entra ID—highlighting privileged pathways, high impact risks, and recovery dependencies so incidents can be scoped quickly and confidently. - Sustain & Improve Over Time
Identity environments change constantly. Cayosoft provides monthly posture reviews and expert guidance to reduce drift, strengthen controls, and maintain recovery readiness as the environment evolves. - Validate Recovery Under Real Conditions
Recovery plans are only effective if they’ve been exercised. Cayosoft participates in identity recovery testing to validate sequencing, assumptions, and verification—reducing uncertainty when a real incident occurs. - Incident Response Assistance
When identity is implicated in an incident, Cayosoft provides expert‑led, identity‑focused incident response to rapidly scope impact, guide containment, and support safe recovery across Active Directory and Entra ID.
