For breach counsel, panels & insurers

Forensic answers that hold up.

Panels and counsel need a DFIR partner whose technical conclusions survive cross-examination. Makkari is built for that standard.

The standard you can rely on

Defensible by design.

Every Makkari report is structured to be reproduced by a second examiner, with chain of custody, hash baselines, and named-analyst attribution from minute one.

The Makkari Forensics Engine underwrites the methodology. AI-generated narrative does not enter the report. Memory captures are taken on every host. Initial foothold is named, with the artefact that proves it.

How we work with counsel

Privilege-aware. Panel-ready. On the record.

Counsel-led engagement

Engagement letter executed with counsel where legal privilege is intended. Scope and reporting cadence aligned to the matter.

Evidence preservation first

Forensic acquisition is the first action on site. No remediation, no EDR cleanup, until the volatile and non-volatile evidence is secured.

Parallel reporting

Privileged technical narrative for counsel. Factual submission report for regulators or courts. Same underlying analysis. Never two stories.

Expert witness

Senior practitioners accept expert witness instructions. Duty-of-the-expert understood, evidence-first, comfortable under cross-examination.

Panel arrangements

Standardised SLAs, rate cards, conflict-of-interest processes. Pre-approval and rapid mobilisation for panel matters.

Regulator submissions

ICO, CNIL, BaFin, and sector regulators (FCA, PRA, Ofcom). Forensic sections written to a standard that withstands follow-up enquiry.

Why this matters

The DFIR partner is the first witness.

Regulator follow-ups are more technical. Claimant firms hire their own advisors. Reinsurers read reports for reasons to deny cover.

The DFIR partner is no longer the last word. They are the first witness, whose conclusions everyone else will examine. They have to be right, and able to defend it.

  • Causation, not correlation.
    The causal chain built with artefact-level rigour.
  • Data provenance.
    Collection time, hash, custodian and method, in the report.
  • Explicit uncertainty.
    Where data does not support a conclusion, the report says so.
  • Defensible exfil determination.
    Volume, selectivity, destination, from multiple sources.
  • Memory captured.
    Every host, every engagement. The single source of truth.
