Digital Forensics
At MediShield, our Digital Forensics service provides a structured, independent expert evaluation of your systems, networks, and data, ensuring security incidents are thoroughly investigated and understood. Our approach aligns with industry best practices and globally recognised frameworks, delivering trusted analysis and evidence that can withstand internal review, regulatory scrutiny, or legal proceedings. At MediShield we work discreetly with your business to mitigate as much as possible against the business disruption and potential brand damage that a complex data investigation may present.
We recognise that effective digital forensics is not just reactive but part of a proactive security strategy. MediShield’s forensic investigations provide detailed insights into the origin, scope, and impact of incidents, while offering clear recommendations to prevent recurrence and strengthen your overall security posture.
Our Digital Forensics service enhances organisational resilience, supports regulatory compliance, and provides verifiable assurance to stakeholders, patients, and partners that your systems and data are monitored, protected, and managed with integrity.
What Are Digital Forensics?
Forensic Analysis
We reconstruct a detailed timeline of events and determine the full scope of the breach using digital artefacts. The MediShield digital forensics investigation will determine any unauthorised transfer of data and highlight the pathways and motives behind the breach.
Root Cause and Impact
We conduct an in-depth analysis to identify how and why a security incident occurred, pinpointing the vulnerabilities that caused it. Our experts will evaluate the incident’s impact on clinical operations, patient data, and organisational systems
Data Recovery
We understand that restoration of lost or corrupted data following incidents is of upmost importance. Our Digital Forensics team ensures minimal disruption to patient care and operational continuity by recovering critical data from damaged/compromised devices.
Legal Support
Identification, collection, and analysis of digital chain of evidence to support internal investigations, regulatory inquiries, or legal proceedings. We uncover case-critical evidence, supporting both prosecution and defence.
Email Compromise
Our experts will trace compromised accounts and how the attacker gained access, whether through phishing, credential theft, or insider threats.
Mobile Device Forensics
We extract and analyse data from mobile devices, recovering lost or deleted information, investigating suspicious activity, and providing admissible evidence for internal or legal review.
Why do you need Digital Forensics?
Organisations seeking a clear understanding of past incidents, potential threats, and the effectiveness of their security controls will benefit greatly from a Digital Forensics Review.
- Determine the Scope and root cause of the Breach: Identify which systems, devices, and data were affected and understand how the attack occurred.
- Prevent Recurrence: Implement targeted remediation and security improvements to reduce the risk of similar incidents in the future.
- Preserve Evidence for Legal or Regulatory Action: Collect and protect digital evidence in a forensically sound manner to support investigations, audits, or legal proceedings.
- Support Compliance Reporting: Provide documentation and analysis required for regulatory obligations such as HIPAA, NHS DSP Toolkit, GDPR, or HITECH.
- Restore Confidence with Stakeholders: Demonstrate to patients, employees, partners, and regulators that the incident has been thoroughly investigated and resolved.
What to expect from MediShield digital forensics?
| Forensic Service | Description |
|---|---|
| Malware Analysis & Reverse Engineering | Examination of malicious software that targeted your systems to understand its functionality, methods of infection, and impact on data and operations. This reverse engineering allows you to develop targeted remediation and prevent similar attacks in the future. |
| Host Intrusion Discovery | Investigation into endpoints, servers, and medical devices for signs of compromise or unauthorised access. Helps identify the source of an attack, assess damage, and determine which controls failed. |
| Network Packet Capture & Analysis | Capture and analyse network traffic to detect suspicious communications, data exfiltration, or lateral movement across your networks. |
| First Responder Training | Training for your security teams on best practices for responding to incidents, preserving evidence, and mitigating damage. This prepares your staff to act quickly and effectively during real-world security events. |
| Log Analysis | Review of your system, application, and security logs to uncover suspicious activity, identify attack patterns, and reconstruct the sequence of events during an incident. Essential for root cause analysis and regulatory reporting. |
Why Cyber Security Matters More Than Ever for Healthcare
In 2024, over 170 million medical records in the U.S. were exposed or stolen in healthcare data breaches — the highest total ever recorded.
Stay ahead of attackers. Cyber threats today don’t just target IT systems, they infiltrate networks, cloud services, medical devices, and mission-critical applications. Patient data, clinical workflows, and your organisation’s reputation is on the line.
At MediShield we don’t leave things to chance and conduct a thorough Digital Forensics review that digs deep to uncover latent threats, prioritises your risk landscape, and delivers practical, evidence-based recommendations to harden your defences.
By acting, you preserve sensitive data, ensure operational resilience, and strengthen trust with patients, regulators, and industry partners.
