Reactive Cybersecurity Services

Incident Response Services

Experienced responders to help you take control of an incident, limit the damage and recover.

Overview

When a security incident is suspected or confirmed, we work with your teams to understand what is happening, contain it, remove the attacker and restore normal operations. We help coordinate the technical investigation, preserve evidence and keep decision-makers informed.

Business objectives

  • Establish the scope and severity of the incident quickly
  • Contain the threat and prevent further damage
  • Remove attacker access and persistence
  • Recover operations safely
  • Capture lessons learned to prevent recurrence

Why it matters

The first hours of an incident shape its outcome. Clear priorities, sound containment decisions and preserved evidence reduce disruption and support any legal, regulatory or insurance processes that follow.

Common challenges we address

  • Ransomware or destructive attacks
  • Business email compromise and account takeover
  • Suspicious activity reported by a partner, customer or authority
  • Data exposure or theft
  • Alerts that suggest an attacker is active in the network

Scope and key activities

  • Initial triage and severity assessment
  • Scoping of affected systems, accounts and data
  • Containment planning and support
  • Eradication of attacker access and persistence
  • Recovery planning and validation
  • Evidence preservation
  • Stakeholder briefings and communication support
  • Post-incident review

Emergency compromise investigation

If you suspect a breach is in progress, we investigate to determine how far the attacker has reached: affected assets, compromised accounts, persistence mechanisms, lateral movement and possible data exposure. You receive evidence-based recommendations for containment and remediation.

If you suspect an active incident

  • Call or WhatsApp +20 114 844 4485
  • Do not wipe or rebuild affected systems before speaking to us, where it is safe to wait
  • Preserve logs and note what you have observed and when
  • Avoid using potentially compromised accounts or email to discuss the incident
Methodology

Our approach

Work starts with an assessment of your needs and a written scope. Pricing follows that scoping and sizing.

  1. TriageUnderstand what has been observed, assess severity and agree immediate priorities.
  2. ScopeIdentify affected systems, accounts and data using available evidence.
  3. ContainAgree and support containment actions that balance risk and business impact.
  4. Eradicate & recoverRemove attacker access, harden weaknesses and restore systems with validation.
  5. ReviewReport findings and lessons learned, and agree improvements.

Deliverables and outcomes

  • Situation updates during the response
  • Incident timeline
  • Scope of impact (systems, accounts, data)
  • Containment and remediation recommendations
  • Final incident report with root cause where it can be determined
  • Lessons learned and improvement plan

Typical use cases

  • Ransomware response
  • Business email compromise investigation
  • Suspected insider misuse
  • Investigation of malware alerts
  • Response to a third-party breach notification

Frequently asked questions

How quickly can you respond?

For on-demand requests, response depends on availability at the time. Clients with an Incident Response Retainer receive the response targets set out in their agreement.

Should we shut down affected systems?

Not always. Powering off can destroy evidence, while leaving systems connected can allow spread. Isolating systems from the network is often a safer first step. Contact us for advice specific to your situation.

Will you notify authorities on our behalf?

Notification decisions rest with your organization and its legal advisors. We provide the factual information needed to support those decisions.
