Capabilities ### Digital Forensics Endpoint, identity, cloud-workload, and privileged-communications investigation. Reconstruct events, preserve defensible evidence, accelerate incident resolution. Built for chain-of-custody integrity and admissibility. ### Ransomware Readiness Double-extortion playbooks, air-gapped evidence workflows, and breach triage tailored to high-pressure legal and regulated environments. Evidence preservation is not optional; it is built into the first response. ### Incident Response (IR) Rapid containment, operational recovery, and forensic rigor at every step. Plans cover the full lifecycle from declaration to final report, including regulator and insurer coordination. ### NIS2 & CyberFundamentals Readiness Evidentiary workflows and control-maturity tracking aligned to the Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium (CCB) and ISO 27001. Support for NIS2 Article 21 measures and CyFun Small / Basic / Important / Essential tiers. ### Threat Intelligence Actor patterns, TTPs, and exposure context turned into actionable guidance for the investigator and for the downstream detection stack. ### Security Advisory Expert guidance on investigations, regulator reporting, governance, and long-term resilience — designed to complement, not replace, internal security teams and external counsel. ## 4. Methodology (Collect → Analyze → Prevent) 1. Collect. Capture endpoint, network, cloud, and log evidence in a defensible workflow. Hashes, timestamps, and an auditable custody chain are recorded at capture time — not after. 2. Analyze. Correlate signals across telemetry, reconstruct attacker behavior, surface high-priority findings in investigator-friendly workflows. 3. Prevent. Turn forensic insight into proactive controls: continuous detection coverage, hardening, and prevention recommendations derived from what actually happened in the investigation. ## 5. Regulatory context — Belgium and the EU Belgium context (2025–2026 reference): - 635 national cyber incidents handled across Belgium in 2025. - 105 ransomware incidents handled nationally. - 2,410 Belgian organizations registered under NIS2. - CyberFundamentals / ISO evidence deadline to the CCB: 18 April 2026. - AZ Monica disruption (January 2026) highlighted healthcare sector risk. Framework alignment: - NIS2 Directive (EU 2022/2555) transposed into Belgian law; CCB supervisory authority. - GDPR (EU 2016/679) — 72-hour supervisory-authority notification on personal-data breaches. - CyberFundamentals (CCB) — Small / Basic / Important / Essential tiers; maps to ISO 27001:2022 Annex A and NIST CSF. - ISO 27001 / ISO 27002 / ISO 22301 — information security, controls, business continuity. ## 6. Frequently asked questions Q: What is CyberXDefend? A: CyberXDefend is an EU-sovereign cyber forensics and incident response platform for Belgian and EU regulated organizations. It combines digital forensics, ransomware response, NIS2 compliance support, and threat intelligence in a single workflow. Q: Who is CyberXDefend for? A: Law firms, healthcare providers, transport and logistics operators, manufacturers, and other mid-market organizations (50 to 400 users) facing NIS2, GDPR, or CyberFundamentals obligations. Q: Is CyberXDefend EU-sovereign? A: Yes. The platform is designed as EU-sovereign, air-gapped, and local-first — data stays under European jurisdiction and aligns with GDPR, NIS2, and CyberFundamentals evidentiary requirements. Q: Does CyberXDefend help with NIS2 compliance? A: Yes. The platform supports NIS2-aligned evidence collection, control-maturity tracking, CyberFundamentals self-assessments, and ISO 27001 alignment for organizations reporting to the CCB. Q: How does CyberXDefend differ from a traditional MDR or SOC? A: Traditional MDR/SOC focuses on detection. CyberXDefend adds forensics-grade chain of custody, ransomware response playbooks, and evidentiary reporting workflows designed for legal defensibility — closing the gap between "we have alerts" and "we can prove how we responded." Q: When is the NIS2 deadline in Belgium? A: Belgian organizations classified under NIS2 must be able to evidence CyberFundamentals / ISO controls by 18 April 2026 per the CCB guidance. Q: What is the GDPR 72-hour rule? A: Under the GDPR (Article 33), controllers must notify the competent supervisory authority of a personal-data breach within 72 hours of becoming aware, unless the breach is unlikely to result in risk to individuals. Q: Should a company pay a ransomware demand? A: That decision is legal, financial, and reputational. It should be made with counsel, the insurer, and where applicable law enforcement. Belgian organizations should also consult CCB guidance; payments may have sanctions implications depending on the threat actor. ## 7.
