What Legal and Insurance Teams Should Expect from a Real DFIR Firm
If you're advising a client after a breach—or reviewing a claim—this is what good incident response looks like, and how Blueberry delivers it.
When a company gets breached, they don’t just need technical help.
They need legal defensibility. Documentation. Evidence. Clarity.
Whether you’re a breach coach, insurance carrier, or in-house counsel, here’s what you should expect from a real DFIR firm—and how to know if you’re getting it.
📄 1. You Need an Evidence-Based Timeline
Every good DFIR report starts with a timeline:
When the attacker got in
How they moved
What systems they accessed
When containment occurred
Whether persistence was removed
This timeline should be rooted in log evidence, forensic artifacts, and endpoint/cloud telemetry—not just assumptions.
🔍 2. You Need Proof of Containment
A vendor saying “it’s over now” isn’t enough.
You need:
Details on what was remediated
What was wiped or preserved
What access routes were closed
What gaps remain (if any)
Containment should be verifiable and repeatable—especially if there’s litigation or regulatory review later.
🧠 3. You Need Reports That Hold Up to Scrutiny
A real DFIR report should:
Be written in plain English (not just technical output)
Explain scope, impact, and risk clearly
Include evidence screenshots, IOC summaries, and validation steps
Be defensible in legal, insurance, and board-level settings
