Understanding
The Legal, Technical and Human Sides of Incident Response
We work with law firms to achieve successful outcomes for their clients. Our in-depth industry knowledge allows us to partner effectively to minimize losses, mitigate risk, control costs and help protect reputations. In support of our legal partners we provide an efficient and thorough analysis of the incident, evidence of the breach, data access and ex-filtration and a detailed timeline of the compromise. At the center of our work is our people, they have the proven technical expertise, understand that the compromise is a technical and legal issue and are the best in the field of cyber security. But it’s more than that, we’ve designed our services to natively address the changing nature of risk and the needs of the legal services market. We understand our role, and your role, and at every turn your clients’ data security and confidentiality is our top priority.
Thinking Differently
Responding Holistically and Operating Efficiently
We are not a behemoth organization with a rigid approach. Instead, we prioritize flexibility, communication, and collaboration with our clients. We think differently, our team, products and services are designed to exceed common expectations set by the larger, less nimble firms. We view every situation distinctly, receptive to new developments so that we can remain nimble. Our expert team engages with every client and is prepared to address any incident through our mature and systematic process. We promise to work with you to tailor our approach to best suit your firm and the unique circumstances you and your clients face. Our holistic approach of combining industry leading digital forensics and incident response skills with proactive services expertise, allows us to improve your clients overall cyber security posture beyond an incident.
Working With Counsel
The Legal Requirements of a Compromise
We work closely with legal counsel, from beginning to end, to ensure that each engagement is scoped reasonably and completed on budget. The combination of seasoned talent along with our approach allows us to avoid dead ends, redundancies or overruns and to maximize efficiency. Understanding that time and detail are of critical importance to our legal partners and their clients, we move quickly to investigate the nature of the incident. We provide direct answers about what, how and how significant in an effort to contain and eradicate the breach. The predictability and manageability of our methods and the ability to achieve the desired outcomes has earned us our stellar reputation. Our effective and approachable communication— coming down from the “tech cloud” to speak with clients on their terms—has helped to establish longstanding, entrenched relationships with each and every client.
Industry-Leading Intelligence And Autonomy
The Best of Both Worlds
We were founded by industry leader Beazley, whose unique dedicated breach response services unit has successfully managed thousands of data incidents including breaches and ransomware attacks. Yet, while we benefit from their expertise and have successfully assisted hundreds of their clients, we operate autonomously and do not share networks, employees, office space, infrastructure, or client data.
Protecting Privacy
And Data Security Are Built Into Our Entire Organization—From Our People To Our Process To Our Facilities
Lodestone has built a world-class forensic lab that implements a layered approach to securing the data and privacy of all clients. The fundamental architecture of Lodestone’s Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) Laboratory was constructed to embody the principals of layered security, segmentation, isolation, least privilege access, encrypted data, and redundancy. From the basics like redundant power and cooling, to the ultimate protections afforded by a fully segmented and isolated virtual analysis environment, Lodestone’s secure lab was designed in accordance with the most rigid security standards and serves as the hardened center of Lodestone’s Dallas office.
