Understand what happened.Respond on the evidence.Strengthen what comes next.
We help organisations establish the technical facts, support decisions in incident and data-protection matters, address control weaknesses, and automate recurring review, reporting and data-handling work.
For legal, investigation, privacy, security, risk and audit teams in companies, institutions and other complex or regulated environments.

SITUATIONS
When teams bring AploIQ into the work.
Choose the situation closest to yours. Each one links to the service that offers the clearest starting point.
Investigate
Internal investigation
An allegation, whistleblowing report or suspected misconduct needs a clear evidence trail.
See Internal InvestigationsRegulatory request, litigation or document production
Records held by several people and systems have to be reviewed or produced, with the decisions documented.
See eDiscovery & Document ReviewDevice, account or cloud evidence
A phone, laptop, account or cloud service needs to be preserved and examined before its contents can be relied on.
See Digital & Mobile Forensics
Respond
Cyber incident or compromised account
Suspicious account activity, logs and communications need to be preserved and placed in context.
See Cyber Incident EvidencePotential personal-data breach
A potential personal-data breach needs a documented technical basis for the decisions that follow.
See Data Breach SupportDSAR under time pressure
A complex data-subject access request spans several systems and needs structured review support.
See Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) Support
Strengthen
Audit finding or control weakness
An audit finding or control weakness needs clear ownership, evidence and follow-through.
See Risk, Controls & Internal Audit SupportNIS2, DORA or management-system readiness
A review is needed against agreed criteria from ISO/IEC 27001 or ISO 9001, or relevant NIS2- and DORA-related requirements.
See Risk, Controls & Internal Audit Support
Build
Repeated manual workflow
Recurring intake, review, reporting or action tracking needs targeted automation.
See Workflow Automation
WORK PRODUCT
Clear work product, not abstract advice.
Depending on the scope, an engagement typically produces:
Risk & readiness
- Breach, DSAR and sensitive-data review packages
- Risk and control matrices
- Gap and maturity assessments
Change & implementation
- Action and remediation registers
- Technical requirements, prototypes, automations and dashboards
- Implementation and knowledge-transfer material
APPROACH
A clear method for complex work.
Define
Clarify the question, the scope and who authorises the work, and agree the constraints and success criteria before it starts.
Secure
Agree data sources, access, transfer, hosting and approval points before any sensitive material changes hands.
Analyse
Examine the facts, data, risks and controls with a method that fits the matter and the evidence available.
Deliver
Provide clear findings, work product and stated limitations that your team can act on.
Improve
Turn lessons, gaps and repeated work into remediation, clearer ownership and better workflows.
TRUST & DATA HANDLING
Start with scope and a secure handling route.
Use the first conversation to establish the purpose, the urgency, the systems involved and the right next step. Do not send evidence or highly sensitive material through the public website or in a first email. Before any data is exchanged, the engagement terms set out transfer, access, hosting, retention and deletion.
Read the trust principles- No public evidence upload
- No general web form
- Data minimisation
- Agreed transfer and hosting route
- Restricted access
- Documented evidence handling where relevant
- Transparent use of specialists and suppliers
- Agreed retention and deletion
EXPERIENCE
Senior technical and advisory experience, applied directly.
AploIQ is led by Nikolaos Sarantinos, whose experience spans eDiscovery, digital forensics, information security, investigations and data analysis in international consulting. We apply that background with direct senior involvement and carefully selected specialist support where a matter needs more capability.

Start with the matter.
Send a short note: what the matter is about, the timing, the jurisdiction, and the decision, deadline or work product you need support with. We agree a handling route before any evidence or sensitive information is exchanged.
