Reactive services

When an incident strikes, senior expertise on the line — from the first hour through full recovery.

Incident response
Rapid-response IR from playbook development to a full 24/7 retainer — containment, eradication, and recovery across the entire breach lifecycle.
Digital forensics & eDiscovery
Legally defensible forensic investigations with full chain of custody — built for litigation, insurance, and regulatory inquiries.
Breach remediation
End-to-end post-breach support — from containment through regulatory notification and long-term posture recovery.
Compromise assessment & threat hunting
Suspect an attacker is already inside? A targeted hunt across endpoints, identity, and cloud to confirm or rule out compromise — and scope it fast if it’s real.
Crisis management advisory
Real-time strategic and communications support during active incidents — keeping leadership aligned, informed, and in control.
Ransomware & extortion response
Command-level support through a ransomware or data-extortion event — containment, recovery decisions, and coordination with counsel, insurers, and law enforcement.
