Insider Data Exfiltration Investigation
Independent investigation of suspicious file movement before an employee departure escalated into legal exposure.
Problem
Leadership detected irregular access patterns involving shared repositories, messaging platforms, and personal storage indicators tied to a privileged employee near departure.
Action
Cloud, SaaS, identity, and file movement evidence were preserved, reconstructed, and analyzed under documented chain-of-custody discipline for counsel and leadership review.
Technical Approach
The investigation isolated a pattern of access and transfer behavior inconsistent with ordinary role activity, with timestamps and platform events tied into a defensible narrative.
Outcome
Leadership and counsel moved forward with clarity on scope, timing, and evidence quality rather than relying on speculation or incomplete internal reporting.
Reporting Delivered
Delivered a concise executive brief, evidence-backed technical appendix, and documentation structured for legal review and downstream action.
