Grail

Grail is a cloud incident-response pipeline from Grail Forensics, Inc. Six AI agents handle intake, endpoint evidence collection, analysis, validation, and reporting. The workflow uses Velociraptor on demand, reconstructs timelines from process, network, registry, and filesystem events, and maps suspicious behavior to MITRE ATT&CK. A validation agent checks findings against raw evidence and rejects claims not anchored to hashed artifacts. Reports contain an executive summary, technical appendix, and evidence index, with claims linked to source artifacts, lines, and SHA-256 hashes and chain of custody sealed end to end. Grail lists alert intake from Sentinel, Splunk, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and Elastic, with outputs to Jira, ServiceNow, carrier claims APIs, and custom webhooks. Evidence is tenant-isolated, encrypted with a customer-held KMS key, purged after delivery, and not used to train models. Pricing is capped per case and available on request.
