Frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions we hear most. Still unsure how it applies to your environment? Our engineers are happy to talk it through.

What is a breach assessment?
A breach assessment is a structured investigation that determines how a security incident occurred, what systems and data were affected, and the actions required to contain and remediate the breach.
When should I request a breach assessment?
You should seek a breach assessment as soon as you suspect unauthorized access, data loss, or any activity that may indicate a security incident.
What information is needed to begin the assessment?
Investigators typically require access to system logs, affected devices, cloud audit trails, email records, and any other evidence related to the incident.
Can a breach assessment determine if data was stolen?
Yes. Through forensic analysis and evidence review, investigators can often identify whether sensitive information was accessed or exfiltrated.
Will a breach assessment help with regulatory compliance?
Absolutely. A thorough assessment provides the facts needed to meet breach notification and reporting obligations, including those under PIPEDA.
Do small businesses need breach assessments?
Yes. Organizations of all sizes benefit from understanding the full impact of a breach and taking the right remediation steps.
