Digital forensics & cybersecurity · Greenpoint, Brooklyn

Skip the Line. Talk to the Expert Who’s Seen This Before.

When something isn’t right with your technology, you need someone who can look at the situation, understand what’s really going on, and tell you what to do next.
That’s what we do.

Incident response and digital forensics are at the core of our work, with particular experience in Apple and mobile devices — the hardware many firms would rather hand to somebody else. We also help businesses secure networks, identities, and the systems around them.

With 25 years of hands-on cybersecurity work and a CISSP certification, Arkadian’s founder works directly with businesses and individuals across New York City from our base in Brooklyn.

Why the First Conversation Is Worth Having

You get the specialist, not a salesperson

The first call is with the person who will do the work — whether that is examining a device, containing an incident or rebuilding a network. You get a straight technical answer about what is possible, not an estimate relayed second-hand.

We tell you when you don't need us

A good share of first calls end with an explanation of why the work being asked for would not solve the problem being described. That costs us the job and saves you the fee, and it is why people send their colleagues here.

Findings come with their limits attached

Every report states what the evidence does not show. Certainty about a device, offered without qualification, is a sales technique rather than a finding.

Tooling built for the job

Professional forensic tools for iOS and macOS — the same class of tooling licensed to law enforcement agencies — matched to the exact device, chip generation and OS version in front of us.

What we do

Five Kinds of Work, One Practice

Some clients come once, with a device and a question. Others keep us on call. Both start the same way.

Digital forensics

Establishing what happened on a device or in an account, and documenting it so it can be relied on. Deleted material, account activity, timelines — with the method and its limits written down.

How an examination works →

Mobile and Apple specialisation

iPhone, iPad, Android, MacBook and iMac. Apple hardware is where we are strongest — most firms in this city pass it to somebody else, because the tooling is specialised and changes with every OS release.

What we examine →

Monitoring software detection

When someone knows things they should not. We examine the device for monitoring software, management profiles and account access that does not belong there — discreetly, and on a channel you choose.

What we look for →

Network and endpoint security

The infrastructure a business runs on: firewalls, segmentation, the laptops and phones your people actually work from. Designed around how you operate rather than a vendor catalogue.

How we work →

Incident response

Ransomware, a compromised Microsoft 365 tenant, an account someone else is using. Containment first, then the work of establishing what happened and how far it reached.

When it is happening now →

Regulatory compliance

HIPAA, PCI-DSS, CMMC and the NY SHIELD Act

If a contract, a regulator or an insurer requires you to demonstrate a security programme, the work is mostly documentation, evidence and honest gap analysis — not buying products. We help establish what is actually required at your size, and what is being sold to you that isn't.

Compliance work

Tell Us What Happened.

Fifteen minutes on the phone is usually enough to establish whether we can help, what it would take and what it would cost. If the answer is that you need someone else, you will hear that instead.

Please don't put passwords, account details or case material in an email. Bring those to the call.
