DO YOU NEED TO CONDUCT
A PFI / ALI?

We can help - we're specialists, discreet and with a mission to protect businesses from criminals.

PCI Forensic or Acquirer Led Investigation Services

If you have noticed suspicious behaviour from your Point of Sale or eCommerce website, or an influx of fraud complaints from customers, or your business has been identified as a Common Point of Purchase (CPP) for fraudulent transactions, this may mean that your payment systems have been compromised by criminals. And, that your customer data may be stolen.

While this can be a very stressful time for a business and its owners, it is critical to act quickly. Time is of the essence - the quicker you can get an investigation performed, the quicker you are likely to be able to stop the breach from causing further damage.

We can help. This is what we do every day.

Acquirer Led Investigation Services

When an Acquirer suspects that one of their merchant’s systems may have breached, the key is to move quickly to understand the situation and take appropriate actions, remediate affected systems and protect confidential data. Acquirer Led Investigation Services is designed to give Acquiring Banks and their merchants that rapid analysis, situation report and, where possible, containment of the incident.

The Acquirer Led Investigation Service combines the world-class Foregenix Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) Team and Foregenix proprietary technology, FGX-Web, which provides forensic visibility across dispersed environments within minutes of being deployed. Supported and delivered as a remote incident response service by Foregenix Teams across the globe. Telemetry collected by this software technology is used to understand the situation and should the need arise, assist in containing the incident.

The Acquirer Led Investigation Service benefits include:

  • The support and guidance of the leading DFIR team in the payment card industry – quick, effective and highly experienced.
  • FGX-Web Alert technology – providing telemetry within minutes of deployment, enabling rapid containment and on-going proactive monitoring, protection and alerting for a total of twelve (12) months. Delivered as a managed service by the Foregenix Threat Intelligence Group.
  • Serengeti technology - providing telemetry within minutes of deployment, enabling rapid containment and ongoing proactive monitoring, protection and alerting for 30 days. Managed by the Foregenix DFIR team.
  • Containment - where possible, preventing on-going data theft during the analysis process and subsequent remediation and monitoring processes.
  • Delivered Remotely – no onsite time, minimal operational disruption, no travel costs.
  • Minimising the impact to the victim business – enabling them to focus on re-building the business.

Why is our tech important?

FGX-Web protects a website while also enabling our analysts to quickly track down criminal activity. We provide it free as a part of the investigation too. So why is it important?

• Your website has already been targeted by criminals - they will be back
• The average time between attacks on a previously compromised website is under 5 minutes – “they” know you have been hacked before and will keep trying
• An outsourced payment page is no guarantee of secure payments (read our blog for examples), especially if the website is not secure
• An insecure website can easily have the checkout process modified by attackers
• FGX-Web monitors and alerts websites of web-based attacks – enabling you to grow your business, knowing it is secure.

We can help you through the PFI Lite Investigation and we will also help you to keep your online business secure
