Dutch security company Fox-IT was contracted to analyze the breach and GlobalSign released a security incident report.

On December 13, 2011 GlobalSign released its final report on the incident.
Pada 13 Desember 2011, GlobalSign merilis laporan terakhirnya tentang insiden tersebut.
The report concluded that while GlobalSign's own web server was breached and the certificate of this server was stolen, due to the air gap separating this web server from the certificate-issuing machine (the one holding the company's root certificate), there was no evidence of any rogue certificates issued or any customer data exposed, thus the remedial actions were limited to cancelling their own web server's certificate and patching its software.
Laporan tersebut menyimpulkan bahwa sementara server web GlobalSign sendiri dilanggar dan sertifikat server ini dicuri, karena air gap memisahkan server web ini dari mesin penerbit sertifikat (yang memegang perusahaan root certificate), tidak ada bukti sertifikat nakal yang dikeluarkan atau data pelanggan terungkap, sehingga tindakan perbaikan terbatas pada pembatalan sertifikat server web mereka sendiri dan menambal perangkat lunaknya.
Sophos's Chester Wisniewski summarized the report and GlobalSign's response to the incident on his blog and concluded "Not only is the report thorough and convincing, but it appears that GlobalSign took every action, exactly as they should have, both during and after the incident.
