Prepare and respond to a cybersecurity breach
We’ll help you figure out what went wrong – and what you need to do next.
A cybersecurity breach isn’t necessarily an instant, one-time occurrence.
We understand you may not have the in-house knowledge or expertise to sort this all out – that’s why we’re here to help with your breach response.
From the moment you contact us, you’ll be talking to a cybersecurity specialist.
We support you through simple steps:
- Identify
- Determine
- Assess
- Contain
- Eradicate
- Recover
We know the fundamental steps of breach response – and will be with you through each and every one.
Identify the problem.
Our team knows how to quickly identify the nature and scale of the incident.
Determine the scope of compromise.
We’ll move from what has happened and begin work toward understanding where the threat has spread – a wide net must be cast.
Assess the impact.
Once the scope of compromise has been established, we’ll assess the impact on critical business applications and functions. This is critical for formulating a remediation plan.

Contain the threat.
Now that we have a handle on the problem, scope, and what’s been impacted, we can begin making specific recommendations for containment of the threat.
Eradicate the threat.
This step unfolds hand in hand with containment. Given the elements of your particular incident, we’ll take action to eradicate the threat.
Recover from the incident.
We’ll guide you through recovery so you can return to what’s most important – your business.

Recover from the incident.
We’ll guide you through recovery so you can return to what’s most important – your business.
We want to help you get back to business as usual – as quickly as possible.
Once the initial containment is complete, we’ll continue working with you through any remaining challenges, whether you need help rebuilding your network, computer forensics expertise, or threat-hunting support.
The final step – once the incident has been managed – is taking a step back and looking for the takeaways:
- If this were to happen again, how could we better respond?
- What needs to change in our network and processes to make this less likely in the future?
- Overall, how can we do better next time?
