Forensic auditing, unauthorized access investigation, and strict regulatory compliance services to protect sensitive corporate data and ensure alignment with the Philippine Data Privacy Act (RA 10173).
In today’s regulatory environment, a data breach is not just an IT failure—it is a massive legal liability. Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (DPA), organizations that fail to secure Personal Information (PI) face severe reputational damage, operational disruption, and multi-million-peso fines. Worse, when a breach occurs, the clock starts ticking immediately.
Greyhawk Manila provides specialized Data Privacy Forensics. We do not just assess your security posture; we forensically investigate unauthorized data access, trace exfiltration paths, and provide the exact technical documentation required to defend your organization during National Privacy Commission (NPC) audits and breach investigations.
Our services are designed to address both proactive compliance and reactive forensic investigation.
End-to-end support for Philippine data breach incidents — forensic scope determination, affected individual identification, 72-hour NPC notification package preparation, and post-breach remediation guidance.
Forensic-grade audit of your organization's data privacy compliance posture — identifying gaps in personal data handling, consent management, retention policies, and DPA criminal liability exposure.
Continuous dark web monitoring for leaked Philippine organizational data — detecting stolen credentials, exposed customer databases, and breached intellectual property before they're weaponized against your organization.
A written privacy policy is useless if you cannot prove it is technically enforced. When the National Privacy Commission (NPC) investigates a breach, they do not just want to know that you were breached; they demand to know how, what was taken, and why your controls failed.
Greyhawk utilizes our proprietary platforms, including Jera 5.0, to provide undeniable forensic proof. Whether we are auditing an employee’s laptop for stolen customer databases or mapping the blast radius of a ransomware attack, we provide your legal counsel and DPO with the cryptographic evidence needed to demonstrate that your organization acted swiftly, responsibly, and in full compliance with the law.
Under the Data Privacy Act (RA 10173), failure to notify the National Privacy Commission and the affected data subjects within 72 hours of discovering a breach involving sensitive personal information can result in severe penalties. This includes massive financial fines and potential criminal liability (imprisonment) for the company’s directors and the Data Protection Officer (DPO).
Yes. This is the most critical question during a breach. Our 72-Hour Breach Forensic Response team traces the attacker’s lateral movement and analyzes data exfiltration logs. We determine exactly which servers were accessed, what specific databases were downloaded, and how many user records were compromised, allowing you to notify the NPC accurately.
Absolutely. This is a common insider threat scenario. We conduct a forensic examination of the employee’s workstation. We analyze USB registry artifacts (to see if a flash drive was connected), audit cloud storage uploads (like personal Google Drive or Dropbox accounts), and review email attachments to forensically prove that the client list was exfiltrated.
A standard IT audit usually relies on checklists and automated vulnerability scanners. A Forensic Privacy Audit assumes a breach has already happened or is actively happening. We hunt for hidden, unprotected data (Shadow IT), recover deleted access logs, and use forensic tools to ensure that your stated security policies (like encryption or secure deletion) are actually functioning at the binary level.
Greyhawk Forensics is a specialized technical and investigative firm, not a law firm. We do not provide formal legal advice. Our role is to provide the undeniable technical evidence, forensic reports, and expert testimony that your retained legal counsel and Data Protection Officer (DPO) need to formulate your legal defense or regulatory response.
Yes. Many DPOs have strong legal or administrative backgrounds but lack deep technical IT expertise. We act as the technical arm for your DPO. We assist in conducting Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs), evaluating the technical security measures of your server infrastructure, and translating complex IT risks into manageable privacy compliance strategies.
Do not wait for a breach notification or an NPC audit to test your data privacy controls. Whether you suspect an insider has leaked customer data, or you need to formalize your technical compliance posture, Greyhawk provides the forensic clarity you need to operate safely.

Regulatory Compliance: While our technical assessments and forensic investigations are designed to assist organizations in aligning with the technical requirements of the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173), GDPR, and other frameworks, Greyhawk does not guarantee immunity from regulatory audits, fines, or legal action.

The responsibility for legal interpretation, breach notification decisions, and official communication with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) or other regulatory bodies remains solely with the client, their designated Data Protection Officer (DPO), and their retained legal counsel.
Investigative Limitations: The success of data recovery, exfiltration tracing, and insider threat investigations is heavily dependent on the availability and integrity of system logs and physical evidence at the time of engagement. Greyhawk cannot guarantee the recovery of destroyed data or the definitive identification of threat actors if critical evidence has been overwritten or fundamentally compromised prior to our involvement. All forensic operations are conducted in strict adherence to industry best practices and legal evidence handling standards.
