Incident response

When every minute counts.

During a live attack the worst decisions are made in the first few hours: someone powers off a server and destroys the evidence, someone starts weighing up a payment, someone notifies the regulator before anyone knows what is being notified. Our team takes the lead — establishes the scope, cuts the attacker off, and makes sure nothing needed later is lost.

We run the case to the end: containment, removing the attacker's presence, restoring systems, and a report that stands up for a regulatory notification and a conversation with your insurer. You finish with a list of the reasons this happened, ordered by what to fix first.
