Excavate

Insider threat
investigations, as a service.

We keep the forensic record before anything happens. When someone leaves with data, the evidence is already preserved, and an examiner writes the answer instead of queuing it for you.

An alert is not
an answer.

Data leaves with the people who leave, and it often starts before anyone hands in a notice. Your tools raise flags. A flag is not an answer, and turning one into a conclusion takes time nobody has.

Exhibit A93%of CISOs who lost data say a leaver played a role

Data exfiltration runs 720% above normal in the 24 hours before a layoff. And when you try to look, the evidence is often already gone.

Exhibit B28%of security alerts are never investigated

Investigating one person means reconstructing months of activity across many systems that do not communicate with each other.

Excavate is forensics as infrastructure.

Always on, already preserved, already examined. The forensic record is running before the question exists, and it stays until you choose to delete it, ready for the day you need it.

We keep the record.
We do the investigating.

Read-only into the systems your people already work in. Every event preserved continuously, every detection read against the whole record, and every trigger worked by our AI agent and our examiners together, not by you.

Every offboarding ends
in a written conclusion.

Data often moves before anyone resigns. By the time HR tells you, the activity that matters may be weeks old, so the review runs against the record you already hold, and it opens by itself.

How offboarding runs →
Departures: one review in flight, one concluded in writing
Opens by itself

The resignation lands in your HR system and the review starts. The one thing we ask: IT holds the laptop until it closes.

Runs with the offboarding

Watching, reviewing, done. It runs during the offboarding process and ends in writing.

Forensic case

Every departure gets a dedicated review. When an examiner finds something suspicious, it becomes a full forensic case, and your IT collects the laptop with our tool.

Every case ends
in writing.

Every trigger opens a review. Our AI agent works it and recommends, a person decides, and each one closes with a written cause on your record. Only an examiner can escalate. When something turns out to be real it becomes a forensic investigation, which is the only thing that ends in a report like this.

Nothing arrives as a question for you to work.
