Incident Response & DFIR
Contain the breach, find root cause and recover, with forensic evidence that holds up.
When an incident hits, we follow the NIST SP 800-61 lifecycle: preparation, detection and analysis, containment, eradication and recovery, then lessons learned. Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) preserves evidence to a defensible standard while we contain the threat, so you understand root cause and scope. We also help before an incident, with retainers, playbooks and tabletop exercises so the response is rehearsed, not improvised.
Included in this service
Rapid containment
Fast action to isolate affected systems and stop the spread of an active incident.
Forensic investigation
Evidence preserved and analysed to a defensible standard to establish root cause and scope.
Eradication and recovery
Removal of attacker access and a controlled return to normal operations.
Readiness and retainers
Playbooks, tabletop exercises and retainers so help is ready before you need it.
What you walk away with
- Incident report with timeline, root cause and scope
- Forensic evidence handled to a defensible standard
- Containment, eradication and recovery actions
- Lessons learned and a hardening plan
- Attack-path narrative
- Detection and logging recommendations
A clear path from problem to outcome
Scope and rules of engagement
We agree targets, objectives and constraints in writing: in-scope assets, test windows, success criteria and emergency stop conditions. You get a signed authorisation and a named point of contact before any tooling touches your environment.
Execute and validate
Our team runs the engagement against agreed objectives, whether that is exploitation, detection validation or a build. Activity is mapped to MITRE ATT&CK where relevant, and we confirm each finding so you receive evidence, not noise.
Report with reproducible proof
Every finding ships with a reproducible proof of concept: request and response, payloads, screenshots and exact steps. Risk is rated by business impact and likelihood, with clear, prioritised remediation guidance your engineers can act on.
Remediate and retest
We walk your team through fixes, answer questions and retest to confirm closure. You finish with a clean retest record and, where useful, detections and runbooks so the same gap is caught next time.
