What this actually is

When funds leave, the question is where they went and whether any of it can be recovered. Cryptocurrency is more traceable than most people assume, because the ledger is public and exchanges are increasingly regulated.

We trace transactions through wallets, mixers and bridges to the point where funds hit an exchange, which is usually where recovery becomes possible through law enforcement.

For conventional fraud we trace the payment chain through mule accounts, which for fast reporting can still be frozen.

What we go after

  • Blockchain transaction tracing across chains
  • Mixer, tumbler and bridge analysis
  • Exchange attribution and off-ramp identification
  • Wallet clustering and attribution
  • Conventional payment trail and mule account mapping
  • Business email compromise fund tracing
  • Evidence packaging for law enforcement
  • Recovery action support

How we run it

  1. 01

    Preserve

    First priority is evidence integrity. We image and hash before anyone starts changing things.

  2. 02

    Contain

    Stop the bleeding without destroying the trail. These two goals fight each other, and experience is what balances them.

  3. 03

    Investigate

    Timeline reconstruction across endpoint, network, cloud and identity, until we can say what happened and when.

  4. 04

    Report

    Findings written to survive scrutiny from a regulator, an insurer or a court.

  5. 05

    Harden

    The root cause fixed, not just the symptom, so the same door is not open next quarter.

What you receive

  • Transaction flow diagrams
  • Attribution findings with supporting evidence
  • Exchange and institution contact package
  • Law enforcement complaint support
  • Recovery likelihood assessment, honestly stated

Who needs this

Organisations and individuals who have lost funds to fraud, ransomware or theft, and insurers assessing claims.

How long it takes

Initial trace within days, which matters because speed determines recovery odds.

Standards this satisfies

  • FATF guidance
  • IT Act
  • PMLA concepts
  • ISO 27037

Why it matters

After an incident there are three questions that have to be answered, and none of them can be answered well without preparation: when did it start, what was actually taken, and is the attacker still inside. Regulators, insurers and customers all ask them, and vague answers are treated as bad ones.

The most common problem we meet is that the evidence is already gone. Systems rebuilt, logs rotated, machines rebooted in good faith before anything was preserved. How the first hour is handled decides whether the rest of the investigation is possible.

Choose how you want this delivered

Most of the price difference between quotes comes down to this one choice, and it is rarely explained. Pick one to see what it covers, what it suits and what it costs you.

Terms, contacts and access agreed in advance, with a guaranteed response time. The value is not the discount, it is that the first day is spent responding rather than negotiating a contract while an intruder is still active.

Choose this when

  • Any organisation holding regulated or personal data
  • Boards or insurers asking about incident readiness
  • You want the mobilisation clock to start in minutes, not days

Effort and cost

An annual fee, with unused hours typically usable for proactive work. The cheapest reduction in breach cost available.

What we look for, and keep finding

These are the classes of problem this work exists to surface. Not every engagement finds all of them, but these are the ones that turn up often enough to be worth naming.

  • Evidence destroyed by the response

    The most common problem we meet. Systems rebuilt, logs rotated, machines rebooted before anything was preserved. What could have been established is often gone before we arrive.

  • Incomplete timeline

    Knowing the breach happened but not when it began. Without an accurate first access, scope cannot be bounded and notification obligations cannot be answered honestly.

  • Unclear data exposure

    The question every regulator and customer asks: what was actually taken. Answering it needs artefacts that only exist if logging and retention were adequate beforehand.

  • Chain of custody failures

    Evidence handled in a way that will not survive challenge. If there is any prospect of proceedings, how the first hour was handled decides whether the findings are usable.

  • Persistence left behind

    Recovery declared complete while access remains. We look specifically for the second and third mechanism, because a competent intruder does not rely on one.

Who runs your engagement

Investigators who have given evidence

Investigations are led by people who have produced findings that survived challenge. Our founder advises law enforcement and has trained officers in cyber crime investigation, so the method is one that police and courts recognise.

Questions we get asked

Can you recover our money?

We can trace it and build the package that makes recovery possible through exchanges and law enforcement. We cannot seize funds ourselves, and anyone promising guaranteed recovery is not being straight with you.

How quickly do we need to act?

Immediately. Funds move through mixers and off-ramps within hours. A trace started on day one has a materially better outcome than one started on day ten.
