A single spoofed email can cost a business a wire transfer. Our examiners investigate business email compromise for companies in Austin and throughout Travis County, tracing unauthorized access, malicious inbox rules, and the path the fraud took. We produce the documentation your bank, insurer, and counsel need to act.

We determine whether your email tenant was actually compromised or the message was spoofed from outside, scope which accounts were reached, and preserve the evidence properly. Speed matters, because bank recall windows close fast.

For Austin and the wider Austin Metro, our team supports technology companies, startups, and government contractors around the capital after wire fraud and account takeover. We work Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace audit logs and coordinate with your fraud and legal teams.

Email Compromise for Austin and Travis County.

Austin is the state capital and seat of Travis County, a national technology hub and home to state government and a major university.

Austin sits in Travis County, part of Austin Metro. As the seat of Travis County, Austin is where the county's district and county courts sit, so litigation-related examinations are handled close to home.

Our examiners work with Austin residents, attorneys, and businesses, and cover the surrounding communities including Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Pflugerville. Most email compromise work begins remotely from a forensic image, with on-site collection in Austin arranged by appointment from our San Antonio base. The Travis County courts sit in Austin, and any report or testimony is prepared with that venue in mind.

Common questions

Austin email compromise questions.

Straight answers to the questions Austin clients ask first. If yours is not here, the first scoping call is free.

Can you help recover the money?

Recovery depends on the bank and the timing, and we cannot promise it. What our examiners provide is the fast, documented scope that gives your bank and an IC3 filing the best chance.

Was it our system or the vendor's?

That is one of the first questions we answer. We determine whether the compromise originated in your tenant or was an external spoof, which changes the right response.

How many accounts were affected?

We scope every account the attacker reached, not just the one you noticed, because business email compromise rarely stops at a single inbox.
