DFIR Services in Bengaluru · Cloud & SaaS Incident Response
Cloud-native incident response and forensics for Bengaluru product, SaaS and GCC teams — AWS/Azure/GCP forensics, ransomware, BEC and DPDP breach handling.
How a Macksofy dfir engagement runs in Bengaluru.
A Bengaluru breach is usually a cloud breach. The product and SaaS estates along the Outer Ring Road, the GCC environments in Whitefield, and the startup stacks around Koramangala live in AWS, Azure and GCP, behind CI/CD, SSO and a hundred SaaS integrations — so the incident response that matters here is cloud-native forensics, not just endpoint imaging. Macksofy's DFIR practice responds to the incidents Bengaluru actually has: cloud-account compromise, CI/CD and supply-chain intrusions, SaaS/identity token theft, ransomware, and business email compromise — with the cloud-forensics depth a product environment demands.
Cloud incidents leave a different evidence trail, and we collect it correctly. CloudTrail / Azure Activity / GCP Audit logs, IAM and role-assumption chains, key and token usage, snapshot and image acquisition of affected workloads, container and Kubernetes forensics, and the SaaS audit logs (Google Workspace, M365, Okta, GitHub) that often hold the real story. We reconstruct the identity timeline — which token, assumed which role, touched which resource — because in a cloud breach the attacker rarely 'lands' on a host the old way; they assume a role, mint a key, and move through the control plane. Acquisition is forensically sound with hashes and chain-of-custody, preserved before auto-scaling or a redeploy destroys the evidence.
Supply-chain and CI/CD incidents are a Bengaluru specialty because Bengaluru builds software. We investigate compromised build pipelines, leaked or abused CI secrets, malicious dependencies and poisoned artifacts, and the blast radius of a stolen deploy credential across environments and customers. For multi-tenant SaaS we scope the hardest question fast: was this a single-tenant compromise or did the attacker cross the tenant boundary — because the answer drives both the customer-notification and the DPDP-notification decision. BEC and identity-token theft round out the common set: OAuth-grant abuse, session-token replay and mailbox-rule persistence in M365/Workspace.
The deliverable is shaped for a product company's three audiences. Engineering gets a precise timeline, root cause, and the exact misconfiguration or credential path to fix — written for people who'll remediate in a sprint. Customers and their security teams get the assessment they'll demand: what was accessed, whether their tenant was affected, and the evidence behind the answer. Compliance gets the DPDP breach-notification trail (Data Protection Board plus affected principals), and where the product carries health or financial data, the HIPAA/PCI-adjacent notification framing — plus the CERT-In six-hour report. We map TTPs to MITRE ATT&CK (and ATT&CK Cloud) throughout.
Eradication in the cloud means closing the identity and control-plane paths, not just rebuilding a box: rotating keys and tokens, fixing the IAM trust and role-assumption gaps, removing persistence in SaaS and CI/CD, and verifying through the logs that the attacker is gone. We pair recovery with hardening — least-privilege IAM, secrets-management, pipeline integrity, and detection-engineering that turns the incident's indicators into permanent cloud-SIEM and CSPM coverage. For retainer clients we run a post-incident tabletop against the product's real architecture.
Bengaluru engagements run remote-first by nature — cloud forensics is remote work — with a guaranteed retainer SLA and named responders who learn your architecture before the incident. We are vendor-neutral across the cloud and tooling stack and CERT-In empanelled. Onsite is available across ORR, Whitefield, Electronic City and Manyata when an engagement needs hands on a device, but the response starts the moment you call, wherever your team is.
Five phases. Bengaluru timeline.
Every Macksofy dfir engagement in Bengaluru runs through the same phased protocol — adapted to Bengaluru-specific procurement, regulator and delivery realities.
- Phase 01
Triage & scope
Hour 0–6- Remote engagement at once — scope across cloud accounts, SaaS and CI/CD; preserve control-plane logs before rotation/redeploy
- Cloud + SaaS log capture: CloudTrail/Activity/Audit, IAM, key/token usage, Okta/M365/Workspace/GitHub
- Containment plan that protects evidence while cutting attacker access; CERT-In six-hour draft for the India entity
- Initial indicator set for cloud-SIEM/CSPM hunting across environments
- Phase 02
Acquire & contain
Day 1- Snapshot/image acquisition of affected workloads, containers and Kubernetes state with hashes and chain-of-custody
- Identity containment — revoke tokens, rotate keys, lock IAM roles — without tipping a destructive actor
- Tenant-boundary assessment for multi-tenant SaaS; CI/CD secret and pipeline-integrity check
- Control-plane isolation of compromised roles, keys and trust relationships
- Phase 03
Analyse & investigate
Days 1–3- Identity-timeline reconstruction — which token assumed which role, touched which resource
- Malware/artifact analysis and TTP mapping to MITRE ATT&CK (incl. Cloud matrix)
- Root cause — leaked secret, misconfig, OAuth abuse, dependency or deploy-credential path
- Data-access/exfil scope for customer-notification and DPDP-notification decisions
- Phase 04
Eradicate & recover
Days 3–7- Close identity/control-plane paths — key/token rotation, IAM trust fixes, SaaS and CI/CD persistence removal
- Verified eviction via the logs; recovery sequencing with least-privilege hardening
- Detection-engineering — indicators converted to permanent cloud-SIEM/CSPM coverage
- DPDP notification to the Data Protection Board and affected principals where required
- Phase 05
Report & learn
Week 2+- Engineering, customer-security and compliance reports with evidence references
- Customer/tenant assessment letters for affected accounts
- Post-incident tabletop against the real product architecture (retainer)
- Hardening roadmap — IAM least-privilege, secrets management, pipeline integrity

A Bengaluru dfir case study.
Cloud IR + forensics — CloudTrail/IAM reconstruction, EKS workloads, GitHub Actions pipeline; tenant-isolation assessment, DPDP + customer notification
Root cause traced to a CI secret exposed in a build log and abused to assume an over-privileged role; confirmed no tenant boundary was crossed, which scoped customer notification to a single environment; IAM least-privilege and secrets-management fixes shipped with the indicators wired into the cloud-SIEM.
