"Whether it's responding to a data breach, ransomware attack or regulatory inquiry, our professionals provide the legal insight and technical acumen that enable rapid, effective decision-making in highly volatile situations."

"Our investigative teams operate in the critical space where technical complexity meets legal accountability," said Michael Sarlo, chief innovation officer and president of global investigations and cyber incident response services at HaystackID. "From helping clients respond to incidents involving compromised endpoints across the globe to identifying sensitive information across complex data types, assessing breach disclosure obligations and delivering defensible outcomes under intense pressure and fast-moving timeframes, HaystackID's cyber incident response experts have built a growing reputation as trusted advisors. This continued recognition by Chambers affirms it."
