Latest release: v1.4.3 · Changelog

Remain in control of your data. Self-deploy with no seat limitations.

DFIRe is a fully self-hosted solution. Deploy it on your own servers, behind your firewall, with your security policies. No incident data ever leaves your infrastructure.

  • Complete Data Sovereignty — Sensitive investigation data stays within your organization. No third-party cloud services handle your case files.
  • Air-Gapped Compatible — Works in isolated networks and high-security environments where internet connectivity is restricted or prohibited.
  • Your Database, Your Storage — Bring your own PostgreSQL database (self-hosted or managed DBaaS like Aiven, DigitalOcean, AWS RDS) and choose local filesystem, S3-compatible, SMB/CIFS, or SFTP storage for evidence files.
  • Regulatory Compliance — Meet data residency requirements and industry regulations by keeping evidence within your jurisdiction.
  • AI-Assisted, Human-Driven — Optional support for multiple LLM models over API for automated case report generation. Your investigation decisions remain fully transparent and explainable.
  • Immutable Audit Trail — Every action is captured in a fail-closed audit log; if the audit write fails, the operation is prevented. Entries can be forwarded to your SIEM for tamper-evident retention and independent compliance evidence.

Built for SecOps and DFIR Professionals

Everything your team needs to manage forensic investigations and incident response workflows.

Case Management

Organize investigations with customizable case types, severity levels, and team assignments. Support for both triage investigations and escalating to incident response workflows.

Evidence & Chain of Custody

Track digital and physical evidence with hierarchical organization, configurable attributes, and an immutable chain-of-custody record with printable receipts. Procedural runbooks attach to evidence and actions so handling steps are documented and auditable.

Incident Timeline

Visual timeline for tracking incident phases, from detection through recovery. Guided response actions with phase-based checklists and automatic progress tracking. Connect webhooks with runbooks to automate common response activities.

Compliance Timers

Built-in tracking for regulatory reporting requirements like GDPR breach notifications. Customizable timer definitions, automatic reminders, and deadline tracking to ensure your legally mandated reporting obligations are met.

End-to-End Encryption

Encrypted Storage protects attachments up to 4 GB with AES-256 and a three-layer key hierarchy (tenant, case, and item keys), so data is unreadable even if the storage backend gets compromised. Larger forensic-scale files stream through the Direct Storage tier straight to a configurable backend without DFIRe-layer encryption.

Team Collaboration

Role-based access control with customizable permission groups for lead investigators, case members, and viewers. Slack integration for workflow management, inline action controls, and an in-channel AI assistant that answers questions and summarizes cases on demand.

Report Generation

Structured investigation reports with customizable sections, QA workflow, and markdown support. Auto-generated evidence inventories and timelines. Optional AI generation for CAN reports and individual sections using Anthropic, Gemini, Azure OpenAI, GitHub Models, or any OpenAI-compatible provider including local LLMs.

Webhooks & Integrations

Bidirectional Jira Cloud sync, outbound webhooks with templated payloads for SIEM and SOAR platforms, audit-log forwarding, and per-user API keys with full OpenAPI docs for automated case creation and any other integration.

SSO & Enterprise Auth

SSO integration via the OIDC standard, compatible with any OIDC provider including Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra ID, and other providers. Session management with instant revocation and IP tracking.

Threat Intelligence

Built-in IOC registry across all STIX 2.1 types with automatic enrichment from leading intelligence providers including VirusTotal, AbuseIPDB, Shodan, GreyNoise, MISP, urlscan, and Spur.us. Hierarchical decomposition, cross-case correlation, TAXII 2.1 server, and MISP-compatible feed for downstream consumers.

AI Assistance

Per-case AI assistant for summaries and Q&A in the web UI and Slack. Auto-generate CAN reports and structured report sections with the configured LLM provider. Built-in MCP server lets agents like Claude Code act as virtual responders with full RBAC and audit logging.

Backup & Recovery

AES-256-GCM encrypted database backups with configurable schedules, deep validation, and one-click restore. Per-target storage roles isolate backups from primary case storage.
