Black Diamond engagements are scoped around a defined mission objective and deliverable rather than open-ended activity. Scope, assumptions, authorization, evidence-handling requirements and completion criteria are established before execution.

Black Diamond provides authorized defensive cybersecurity, incident-response and forensic services. Engagement scope must be documented and authorized by the system or data owner. Legal conclusions, e-discovery requirements and law-enforcement evidence procedures should be coordinated with qualified counsel and appropriate authorities.
