Incident Response (Emergency)
Emergency response for active or suspected breaches: ransomware, account takeover, data theft, web compromise, and persistent intruders. Available on hourly engagement or retainer with rapid triage, containment, eradication, recovery, and forensic root cause analysis.
How it runs
- 01
Triage & Initial Assessment
Rapid intake call to understand the scope, affected systems, and current attacker activity. Establish secure communication channels, preserve volatile evidence, and decide whether immediate isolation is required.
- 02
Containment
Cut off attacker access through targeted network segmentation, credential resets, session revocation, and disabling malicious accounts. Containment is scoped to limit damage without destroying forensic evidence.
- 03
Eradication
Remove all attacker footholds: malware, web shells, persistence mechanisms, scheduled tasks, rogue services, and compromised accounts. Patch the vulnerabilities that enabled initial access.
- 04
Recovery
Restore affected systems from clean backups or rebuild as required, validate integrity, and progressively bring services back online with heightened monitoring during the cooldown window.
- 05
Forensic Root Cause Analysis
Reconstruct the attacker timeline from logs, disk artefacts, memory captures, and network telemetry. Identify the initial access vector, dwell time, lateral movement path, and data exposure scope.
- 06
Incident Report & Lessons Learned
Deliver a structured IR report covering timeline, IOCs, attribution where possible, business impact, and concrete recommendations to prevent recurrence. Followed by a leadership debrief.
