Our Cybersecurity Compromise Assessment Services

DeepSeas combines forensic investigation, threat hunting, and proactive testing to reveal compromise evidence and security weaknesses.

Compromise Assessment

DeepSeas examines endpoint, identity, network, cloud, email, and data telemetry for evidence of current or historical intrusion, then documents findings and immediate priorities.

Network Detection Response

Network telemetry helps surface lateral movement, command and control, data staging, and unmanaged devices that endpoint agents may not cover, adding context to the investigation.

Cybersecurity Risk Assessment

A broader evaluation identifies security strengths, weaknesses, and prioritized risks through stakeholder interviews, asset inventory, risk workshops, and documented treatment planning.

Clear Forensic Answers

Know Whether Your Environment Is Compromised

A compromise assessment replaces assumptions with evidence. DeepSeas hunts across endpoint, identity, network, cloud, email, and data telemetry for persistence, unauthorized access, credential misuse, malware, and lateral movement. The engagement is especially useful during mergers and acquisitions, after an unexplained anomaly, following a peer or supplier breach, or when leadership, an insurer, regulator, or customer requires defensible assurance. Findings include what evidence exists, what it means, and what to do next.
